From the minute you get engaged, you are bombarded by questions about your wedding - what are your colors, where will you have it, when will it be? Fortunately, there are experts to help guide you in answering all of these questions. And, for eco-savvy brides-to-be, there are several options when it comes to serving up a green wedding.
For all of the green girls who will be wearing white soon, here are some books to help you take small, sustainable steps down the aisle.
Recently my friends, Emily and Zach, sent lovely, very simple postcards as a save the date for their eco-friendly fiesta and followed them up with an electronic invitation to their wedding in Santa Barbara this fall. As a guest, I am thrilled to have all of the information accessible through email and my computer and was happy not to have to throw away a beautiful albeit bulky invitation. Although I do understand that wedding Evite’s aren’t everyone’s cup of tea. For those not quite ready to give up invitations entirely, check out the eco-friendly letterpress cards from Bella Figura. Bella Figura, a 1% for the Planet vendor, boasts beautiful letterpress designs crafted by Debbie Urbanski and Harold Kyle, whose love for letterpress and style lead them on a rescue mission across the US saving old letterpresses and equipment from the scrapyards and also lead them to eventually marry (what a great story!).
