New York State of Mind
What’s not to love about weddings in the Big Apple? Bright lights, glitz, glam—no city does it quite the same.
When New York comes to mind, there are some things that are quintessential. And then there are those traditional wedding elements that are just more fun with a NYC twist!
We love the idea of adding a touch of New York to your Eco-Beautiful wedding in the city, especially to give out of town guests a glimpse of what the city is all about. A little theme is not only fun, but those small details make a big statement about who you are and what you love as a couple. Using local products and vendors is a sure way to keep your wedding green too!
What is your fave NYC-inspired wedding detail?

Suckers for Love!
We’re suckers for love too…and lollipops! A fun addition to a candy buffet, as escort card holders, or as stand-alone favors, lollipops are sure to be a crowd pleaser. If you and your groom are fans of nostalgic flavors such as cherry and bubblegum, or if your sophisticated palettes prefer gourmet flavors such as Crème Brulee and Orange Blossom Thyme (both available from The Groovy Baker), choose pops that reflect your personal tastes!
Eco-Sweet!
