It's a combination wedding planning book and green living book, and the two don't go together particularly well. Many of the green living topics she touches on are tangentially at best related to weddings, and weddings--at least the way most Americans seem to view them--are sort of inherently ungreen. Napolitano makes nods to that occasionally by noting that the most green wedding would be a small wedding, but all of her tips are for big weddings. Which is understandable, since small weddings are a lot lot lot easier to plan, but as someone planning a 20-person outdoor ceremony in the park in an 8-week span, I felt like this book, with its checklists such as "9-12 months before the wedding: interview wedding planners!" was not even in the same universe as me.

Some helpful tips, although quite repetitive. There are many references to online resources, propounding to provide lists of eco-friendly vendors. However, I found few of these online resources actually provided the information for which they are cited.
I did not enjoy the tone of the book. It came off as preachy and righteous at times, making this less than enjoyable to read. I began very excited to delve into planning this exciting time, but had to drag myself through the end. It was not fun to read.

Meh. This is very basic, most stuff I'd already considered. It gave me maybe two resources that were helpful so I'll give it 3 stars, but the last quarter is just how to live a green life in general and most sections are just "recycle, reduce, reuse". Don't know what I expected but I guess having a DIY/affordable wedding incorporates most green stuff anyway.
