Couples deciding how to make their big day go with a bang may want to take advice from websites which suggests that eco-chic weddings could be the next big thing.

Writing for MSN Life & Style, Meenakshi Shanker says that with the current focus on preserving the planet and being environmentally friendly it is the perfect opportunity for couples to go green as well.

Rivervale Barn is a sustainable barn wedding venue and it is being constructed by skilled craftsmen using traditional methods.

The grounds and facilities of Mill Farm in Yateley are being converted to create this special wedding barn while ensuring that the natural beauty and character of its surrounding environment is being respected.

As well as the main wedding venue, a Honeymoon Cottage and events office are being created following the conversion of other buildings near the barn.

When completed, Rivervale will provide a Civil Ceremony barn for up to 150 guests along with a chic Wedding Reception area with a landscaped terrace surrounded by beautiful gardens.

Couples looking for the perfect green wedding venue could find Rivervale Barn the perfect option as it is sustainable and ethical.

Rivervale Barn will be available for weddings from June 2009.
