Groom Style: Pocket Squares
Oh the pocket square! We are in love with the resurgence of this fashion trend for the dapper groom. A vintage or handmade pocket square adds a touch of sophistication to a groom’s wedding day look.
If your groom-to-be has a flair for fashion, he’ll love a pocket square in a pattern or print! Or for a more conservative guy, a solid square in an organic silk will keep him stylishly green.
Pocket squares also make great gifts of gratitude for the groomsmen—a suggestion from one of our fave event planning duos, Valley & Co, in the Winter 2012 issue!

Adornment
Pearls. Color. Some sparkle. Beads.
That’s what adornment is made of!
Bold adornment for the neck, also known as the statement necklace, is an ongoing trend in fashion and it seems that it is here to stay! Brides are taking note, and choosing eye-catching necklaces as the finishing touch to their eco-beautiful aisle style.
So…what’s your style? Are you thinking colored stones? Crystals? Environmentally-friendly diamonds? Maybe vintage?
Whatever you choose, adorn yourself beautifully and boldly for your wedding day!

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!

{Guest Post from Eco and Elsie} Upcycling Old Items into New Ones for Your Wedding or Event.
Thank you to the Eco-Beautiful Weddings Team for allowing me to be a guest blogger for the next few days! I’m excited to share with you some fun, eco-friendly ideas and if you like what you see, feel free to join me at Eco and Elsie, my own blog about earth friendly weddings, life, and marriage.
As an eco-friendly gal, I am always looking for ways to re-purpose things around my house. I actually have a problem hoarding small glass jars – pickle jars, olive jars, jelly jars, you name it – because I find them so cute and I just know I can find a new use for them. I usually end up with a massive collection of tiny jars and I think my husband secretly recycles a few every now and then just to get them out of the way, but anyway, I digress. On to the good stuff! This post is all about taking everyday items and finding not-so-typical uses for them in your wedding or event. I hope you enjoy!
A little DIY never hurt anyone.
Here you can learn how to take an old crate or wire basket
and turn it into a rustic card box.
