Building a better (and greener) site

GGIS is celebrating our 3rd anniversary!  (Sure, it is only our third month in this format, but we’re still celebrating…)  We took a brief break from the usual schedule over the past few days to take a look at where we’ve been and where we’re going.  After a great recharging visit to Serenbe we’re back to work and ready to tackle the next phase of Go Green In Style.

We want to hear from you!  Let us know what you’ve liked and what you would like to see.  As we get closer to our own wedding we will certainly be busy, but we also will have great stories about what we’ve learned that we can share.  Go Green In Style couldn’t work without the help of people like you – we love the feedback we’ve received and look forward to continuing to serve.

What’s hot at GGIS?  Over the past 90 days, these are the articles that you, our readers, indicated were the most interesting – measured by view count:

• Green Wedding Shower Check List
• Bridal Shower – Yankee Edition
• Disposable Plate Dilemma
• Bridesmaid Dress Brew-ha-ha
• Real Green Brides II – Amanda and Daniel
• Tips for Environmentally Sound Wedding Flowers

What sort of things do we have in the pipeline?  Good question.  Here’s a few of the articles to expect in the next few months:

• Transit & transportation guide
• Reduce, reuse and recycling registry packing material
• Green rehearsal dinner venues
• The Green Groom
• Eco couture for your wedding party. Yes, groomsmen too!
• A sommelier’s guide to sustainable wines that won’t break the bank
• Expert wedding planner joins the team to bring you seasoned advice
• 360 Sustainable Invitation Solution
• Featured vendors- insider’s guide to companies that are really walking the walk and not greenwashing
• Serenbe: A behind the scene’s series about the leading internationally renowned green wedding destination.
• Get ideas for your wedding from more real brides
• Farm to table- Meet farmers who grows food and flowers to order for your wedding
• “From scratch”- organic wedding cakes

And on top of that we hope to hear more stories from the front line of the Green Wedding revolution.  Including more from our front line – reflections on the eco wedding from our bridal party.  Knowing our friends as we do you can expect diverse views, probing insights, and a health dose of humor.

We are also making some changes behind the scenes to improve site functionality.  Thank you to all of the folks who have offered assistance with the current layout and suggestions for improvement.  We’d love to hear other requests.  In fact, one of the new functions is already live!  Send us comments directly on our comment form, or add a comment to this post below.
