Danny Seo, oh how we love thee!
Whole Earth beauty and bath products are created with organic ingredients and all organic packaging. His philosophy, “It should be green, from the inside out”.
We suggest the amazing body scrub. Fabulous products to share with your out of town guests or to use in your new wedding beauty regimen. We have found over the years that the beauty regimens that brides and grooms try during their wedding planning process stay with them for years. When trying new products, use common sense. Make sure the new products you choose are organic with eco-friendly packaging and are in line with your skin type.
Check out Danny Seo’s Blog as well! Lots of great suggestions for daily green living.
More green wedding planning ideas coming your way daily!
Happy Planning!

Making an Impact with Your Nuptials!
Make a donation to a charity of their choice, in their name. Making an impact with your nuptials is what a green wedding is all about.
How about a respond card that finds out what moves your guests?
Ask them to list their favorite charity on your respond card and then donate to it! It could be just $5 per non-profit – which can be the typical amount it costs to either make or buy a favor.
You don’t have to print out anything like the above…you could just do a pretty map of the places where the money ended up! There are so many ways to display the ways you have given back. You could also just let your guests know in your thank you note!
Whatever you plan to do to give back, let us know! You could end up in our magazine! We truly want everyone who comes to this website to think differently about their wedding planning.
Be different, be unique: Be Eco-Beautiful!
Happy Greening!
