Green Getaway: Nicaragua!

Secluded beach…tropical flora…romantic treetop villas…are you completely relaxed yet? If not, pack your bags and head for the Aqua Wellness Resort in Nicaragua!

This spectacular resort is the highlighted destination in this issue’s Green Getaway.  A personal fave of our Editor-in-Chief Katie Martin, Aqua offers the perfect blend of luxury, adventure, and relaxation. At the same time (yep, it gets better) this piece of paradise is all about sustainability!

 If you and your groom have not settled on a honeymoon (or wedding) destination, this resort is certainly worth considering.

Details and breathtaking pics of the Aqua Wellness Resort are ready to tempt you on Page 94 of the Winter 2012 issue!

Thanks Katie for not keeping this Eco-Beautiful secret all to yourself!

Grooms love Gifts Too!

For most grooms, registering for wedding gifts is one of the highlights of the planning process!

Our go-to guy for grooms, Chris Easter of The Man Registry, created a guide for the Winter 2012 issue to assist with keeping the registry all about the green (we’re talking environment, and not Benjamins!).

 We’ve learned from Chris that there are so many cool ways to create an eco-friendly gift registry. From selecting gifts from charities or local merchants, to spreading the word to guests and sending gracious notes of thanks online (yes, it can be done!), Chris’s how-to helps keep the environment first for each step of the way.

Start greening your registry on page 73 of the Winter issue!

Making a list…checking it twice!

Now that Christmas has come and gone (pretty fast, huh?) it’s time to bring the focus back to wedding planning! The Green Is section of our Winter 2012 issue is packed with eco-finds to help you whittle down that seemingly infinite “I Do” list!   

We’ve got gorgeous invites from Smock (shown above), vintage rentals from Archive Vintage, and bridal party gifts from Not for Sale and Knobstoppers! Our list of the best green wedding resources and planning tricks is endless, so settle in with the Green Is feature and get ready to check “to do’s” off that list.
