Angelica Weihs, the owner of Green Weddings in Los Angeles, has been planning environmentally–friendly weddings since 2005. One of the challenges lies in finding vendors who will cooperate. Weihs likes to challenge the people she works with to be green by asking her vendors, “ ‘Are you doing anything eco–friendly? What are you doing with your trash?’ ” It reminds people that it might be necessary to make change.” One wedding she planned called for a chocolate fountain and Weihs convinced Classic Party Staffing to make the chocolate fountain organic. Also, her inquiries may have prompted changes in other companies, like Classic Party Rentals. “I cannot say that it was just me, but the demands of my company and other planners have influenced the rental company market.” It had been difficult to find green rental companies in the past, but now Classic Party Rentals is implementing measures like eco–friendly cleaning processes.

The awards ceremony will be held at Paramount Studios on September 10th. The reception with food and live entertainment starts at 6:30pm, and awards will be announced and presented at 8:00pm. All award recipients and runner-ups will be mentioned at the event.
