Last week I was invited to a special sustainable party at the Bodleian Library in Oxford to celebrate 30 years of Guides for Brides.

I interviewed some of the event suppliers and guests to find out about how they made the event fully sustainable and how we can all learn from that. I also got the exclusive on a brand new wedding industry initiative - 'The UK Wedding Association'.

This special episode was also filmed and you can watch it in full over on youtube.
