This morning was a mad dash in the rain to CN8's -Your Morning studio at the Loews Hotel …

I was asked to present a piece on Green Weddings…
While I LOVE doing live TV – the challenge of a live wedding show is cramming as much wedding information as possible into a 3minute segment…

This morning we covered several ideas:

Selecting a venue where you can have your room block for guests, ceremony and reception all in one location – which helps reduce the pollution and consumption of fuel expended by guests driving from one location to another.

Using candle light to enhance décor and reduce electric lighting – specifically by the use of soy candles.

Soy candles are made from soybean which is a renewable resource- and burn cleaner than paraffin (a petroleum based product).

The beautiful pillar and votive candles shown on this mornings spot are available from It's A SOY!

They also make a great little travel tin which can be customized as a wedding favor!

The other favor we showed were really yummy cookies from BeautifulSweets.com – I'm sure you'll love these tasty beautiful organic cookies as much as the staff of CN8 did…

And lastly, the organic wedding cake was provided by Vedika Webb at Lotus Cake Studio – who specializes in vegan and organic wedding cakes…

Thanks to all the wedding professionals who help to make this segment such a success!
