The Pink Pumpkin turns GREEN!!
Bespoke wedding planning and design service The Pink Pumpkin (www.thepinkpumpkin.co.uk)has teamed up with Eco Events (www.EcoEvents.com), environmentally conscious event management, to provide clients with weddings that are gorgeous, meticulously planned and considerate to the environment.
This exciting venture will offer couples an opportunity to remain responsible without comprising the glamour of their special day. In a positive move away from the stereotypical green “hippy” image, they will reassure you that you don’t have to compromise on style and quality to throw a spectacular wedding that leaves as low a carbon footprint as possible.
The average wedding creates 14.5 tons of waste yet very little has been done in the industry to encourage people to reduce this. Expert advice and input from The Pink Pumpkin and Eco Events will enable couples to create their ideal day - from using ethical suppliers to sourcing organic silk dresses to finding cruelty-free diamonds – all of which help to reduce the environmental impact of their wedding day. Couples can even off-set those unavoidable costs to the environment and have a carbon neutral wedding.
Couples can inspire their own friends and family to approach life with a sense of responsibility. Knowing that they have played their part in securing a healthy future, must surely be a great way to start off their married lives…

EcoEvents.com has won the preferred supplier contract for Event Management for The Epic Project, Lincolnshire
We are proud to announce that the unique, environmentally sustainable EPIC Centre in Lincoln has teamed up with us here at Eco Events to provide a whole range of sustainable and environmentally conscious private and corporate events. This unique building has been created using sustainable building techniques and materials (including a beautiful living sedum roof) to provide the perfect venue for everything from weddings to corporate banquets to open air concerts and more.
According to Dr Nick Cheffins, the EPIC Project’s director, this venture is about creating a centre for environmental innovation, to explore new technologies and responses to the threat of global warming: “The EPIC Centre has been created to motivate individuals, businesses and communities within and beyond Lincolnshire to recognize their ability to mitigate the global effects of humanity’s activity on the environment,” says Dr Cheffins. “Our aim is to reduce our carbon footprint by 47% compared to a similar conventional building. We are working towards achieving this by building a venue that is designed to be as carbon efficient as possible, including using locally sourced materials, minimal use of steel and concrete, installing biomass and biofuel boilers, solar water heating, wind energy and rainwater harvesting.” The EPIC centre has three interlinked exhibition halls providing over 1,800 sq metres of event space, office suites, meeting rooms, a VIP lounge and 275 acres of stunning grounds.
