Go Green :: Eco-Chic Invites

Let the invitation say it all. Create an invitation that spreads your message of an environmentally friendly wedding. Start by using recycled papers and keep it simple by including only the necessary details. Additional information can be sent out via an e-newsletter or a wedding website, which saves time and paper.

Invitation was made up of recycled paper and with no inserts. Have your guests RSVP on a website!

Go Green :: Eco-Chic Beauty

Treat yourself to a bit of rest and relaxation before your wedding day. When you and the girls think spa day, choose an organic spa.  Consider organic beauty products, i.e.: beauty that’s more than skin deep. Not only is it good for the environment, but it’s great for your skin! There are a number of organic beauty products to use to glam up for the big day, which are made of natural minerals that look great as well.  Moss Wellness Spa in Scottsdale and Glow Skin & Body Studio in Phoenix area few of the many l green spas that offer a wide variety of eco-friendly services.

Go Green :: Eco-Chic Fashion

“Something old, something new, something borrowed something blue.” Get creative with recycling. Utilize family gems for wedding rings, recycle vintage wedding gowns, etc. Does Grandma have an old blue hankie to tuck inside your dress? Can you borrow Auntie’s wedding purse? These precious family heirlooms become all the more valuable when passed down from generation to generation.  Arrange a family meeting (yours and your love’s family) to discuss what is available. You may very well be surprised by both the excitement this can generate among various family members and the resulting items, not to mention a greater level of closeness among the families.  Plus, you’ve included the family elders in the planning process.

Go Green :: Eco-Chic Florals

Keep it simple and fresh, yet innovative. By choosing a location that maintains an integral natural beauty, the cost of flowers and décor can be minimized.  Flowering plants are also a great alternative to cut flower centerpieces. Guests can take the plants home at the end of the reception as a precious living remembrance of your wedding celebration.
