You can learn more about Wendy's eco-centered wedding business, Essential Sage, at www.essentialsage.com. After years of experience as an event planner (Macy's San Francisco, K-Mart, and United Way Dallas to name some), Wendy asked herself an important question: “What legacy do I want to leave to my son?” While I wasn’t entirely clear on what I wanted my legacy to be, I knew that a legacy of waste was not what I wanted to pass to my son. In Wendy's own words, "I began researching what it means to be a conservationist, determined to make changes at home and at work. When I looked specifically at the wedding industry, I realized, with no small degree of chagrin, that the wedding industry, my industry, was uber wasteful! Being sensitive to waste at home was a positive step, but I needed to take the next step, and it was a big one." "BAM! It was a true “eureka!” moment when I realized that I could extend my personal environmental values to my work! As I began researching the idea, I was over the moon with excitement. There were so many wonderful and creative ways to “green up” an event without compromising style or esthetics. From there, my path was clear. I proudly introduced: Essential Sage Weddings & Events …marrying style and sustainability, and gained my certification as a Green Wedding Planner through the Green Bride Guide. For me, it’s a natural." Whether your style is Shabby Chic, Contemporary Sleek, or BOHO Chic, with Essential Sage, IT’S ALL GREEN.
