Whole Foods Presents Natural and Organic Options for the Green Nashville Wedding
Monday, April 9, 2012
It was a blast hanging out with Ashley King for the first ever Whole Wedding Bridal Show at Whole Foods Green Hills last month. This eco-friendly geared bridal show featured wedding services offered by Whole Foods along with other cool "green" Nashville vendors. I was definitely a happy camper, as this was a new "green" find for me so please read on and enjoy!
Whole Foods - Wedding Cake, Gelato, Catering, Florals
Whole Foods Market is the largest retailer of organic and natural foods. Their commitment to locally grown food and fair trade initiatives make them a perfect choice for the "green" bride. During this bridal show they really went all out to showcase the variety of services they offer to sustainably geared weddings.
Whole Foods showcased their cakes, catering, and flowers. Their bakery offers wedding cakes that are super creative, mighty tasty, and contain no artificial dyes.
Their cupcakes were as pleasing to the eye and wallet, as they are 6 for $6.99.
The sweet choices did not stop there, as brides also have the option of adding gelato to their wedding menu, full of seasonal fresh fruit ingredients.
The little home-made steak biscuits were also a hit and just a sampling of what Whole Foods can provide on your big day.

Whole Foods also offers fair practice sourced flower arrangements, which were absolutely stunning.
The entertainment was also in full effect during the show. Robert Luke Entertainment was the event DJ + emcee, bringing a great energy and cool tunes. Celladora Wedding Photography was on hand with their photo booth, allowing the couples to really let loose and have a little fun. Celladora is also a company committed to sustainable initiatives, as they give a portion of their wedding photography profits to Water.org.

Arboreal Paper had a booth that made you want to go paper goods crazy! Arboreal's designs are always gorgeous and eco-friendly, giving brides the ability to print on recycled paper with soy based inks. Speaking of paper goods, dandyLion Events provided a fun workshop on making the infamous pom poms. Lindsey with dandyLion Events is all about upcycling and reusing wedding decor for her couples' big day allowing for a personal "green" touch. Street Tuxedo was on hand to share the latest in tuxedo fashion. Not only are they family owned and Nashville based (which we love) but their inventory is largely local, which reduces the need to ship (which is great for the environment too).
I was so excited to find out Whole Foods offers these type of services for the Nashville bride and hope some of you stop by the Green Hills store to learn more.
