Thinking Green

Just saw this post on the Hostess Blog: the founder of "The Bridal Bar" boutique wrote a special article about thinking green for your wedding or next event.

This reminded us of the green wedding featured on Brides {via frolic!}. We really liked the soothing colors and the modern feel:

These salvaged glass vases from Anthropologie {via Holly's Plate} would be perfect; the bottles are recycled glass so you can feel good about buying them and we are sure that you will find a way to use them again after your wedding.

I'm so happy that eco-friendly weddings are starting to be profiled because the wedding industry seems to push a lot of details that can lead to waste. What I love most about this story is their advice for brides: "What I can’t consume, reuse or recycle, I’ll rent."
