Wedding expos used to be the type of event that couples planning alternative ceremonies would avoid like the plague. (For an idea of what goes down at such events, Jezebel recently sent some writers undercover.) But now entire expos themselves are dedicated to eco and indie weddings, or to the more general green lifestyle.

There was one in February in L.A., another one in March in Toronto, and Portovert has recently announced they'll be holding a Green Wedding Lounge at the following three conventions: EPIC: A Sustainable Living Expo in Vancouver and Go Green New York, both happening later this month, and the EarthNow Expo which will take place in Vegas in June.

I'm very surprised we haven't seen one of these events in the Pacific Northwest yet, although there was an event in the works in Seattle called I Heart Indie Weddings, originally planned for sometime in 2009. Although their website is now down, their MySpace profile is still active (and says I Heart Indie Weddings is postponed), so if you want hear more when they get plans for the event rolling again, add 'em.
