Something Old, Something New
Once only for the bridesmaids and other attendants, color is now on trend for the bride too! This season, gown collections from several designers are featuring beautiful, colored gowns for brides, which we love. Even better? A colored dress increases your opportunity to wear your gown again, making it a truly Eco-Beautiful statement.
Turn your something old into something new and get glam in your gown for a summer formal event, garden party or romantic dinner on your honeymoon or future getaway!

Getting Eco-Beautiful with Suki Skincare
Your skin tells it all—what you eat, how much you are sleeping (or not), and how you are handling stress.
With all of the hectic wedding planning in the months ahead, it’s essential to not neglect your body, and to find and stick to a skin care regimen that will ensure your skin is glowing and radiant for wedding day.
Feeling the need to freshen up your complexion, but unsure of where to start? Suki Skincare has your solution!
This sustainable skin care line is 100% pure and natural, combining ingredients such as white willow, apple juice and jojoba. Suki products don’t just sit on top of your skin like chemical-based products—instead they work with your body’s natural processes to clean, soothe and heal your skin.
If that little bit of cellulite has you worried about your honeymoon swimwear, you’ll want to pick up Suki’s Exfoliate Foaming Body Cleanser! It’s made with caffeine and citric acid—two powerful cellulite reducers. Start now with a quick scrub in the shower each morning, and you’ll be beach ready by summer!

Blue Plate Chicago Does It Green
The first and only certified green caterer in Chicago, Blue Plate Chicago has taken it green with everything from product, to preparation, to the plate.
We love their concept of “conscious-catering”- meaning they are committed to protecting the community with eco-friendly practices and giving back.
Their menus feature seasonal and sustainable selections for brides and grooms, without sacrificing creativity (how do Risotto Pillows or Sweet Corn and Coconut Soup sound?) and of course taste! YUM!
Speaking of yummy, Blue Plate Chicago is known for its sweets stations, which guests are sure to love!
They combine their delicious desserts with some of your favorite furniture and other items from home to create Eco-Beautiful presentations for your guests!
In case you aren’t convinced, think Nutella and Banana Turnovers…Mocha Crème Brulees…Mini Peanut Butter and Jelly Truffles. Chicago brides…are you there yet?
Blue Plate Chicago is working daily to develop even more green greatness–we can’t wait to hear what’s next!

6 Reasons to Purchase a Do Amore Ring
Two people can receive clean drinking water for life.
Four children can receive healthy meals for one year.
Imagine if your engagement ring and wedding bands could save at least six lives? Well, thanks to Do Amore, they can. When you purchase one of their environmentally-friendly rings, you can choose to either invest in a water well that provides clean water or nutritious meals to families in developing communities worldwide!
Do Amore rings are made with conflict-free diamonds and recycled materials, so they are ethically responsible too. The rings are also priced similarly to other jewelry retailers, proving that doing good does not have to come at a higher price. Same price, much greater impact.
We adore this new way to buy bridal bling!
And as if saving six lives was not reason enough to purchase baubles from Do Amore, here are two more…
- Your rings can be engraved with the number of people helped from your purchase.
- Your engagement ring can be named after an amazing woman whose life was dedicated to serving others.
We already know the rings exchanged between you and your groom-to-be will be given to each other with love. Will you consider giving love to others in need too?
