Eco Love: A Style Shoot
Since this is the official month of L-O-V-E, we’re planning to share a few more lovely real weddings and eco-love inspired style shoots all month long! So, we’re starting off the week with this one from beautiful California!
Inspired by the fall air and a vintage flair, photographer Erin Leigh and a team of vendors sought to help green brides and grooms visualize a wedding day crafted from recycled and re-purposed materials, many of which can be found in their own homes.
A vegetable garden theme is played out in the floral design and escort cards. All of the details used in the shoot—including the décor, signage, and the bride’s fascinator were all handmade. Even the location was all about the eco! The Ecology Center in San Juan Capistrano, California, a non-profit, educational center focused on providing the community with practical, environmental solutions for the home.

Po Chi + Jeremy’s Multicultural Wedding
Blending two cultures for a wedding celebration often produces some of the most creative events ever, and Po Chi and Jeremy’s day is such proof of that! Their wedding was a perfect blend of both Chinese and American cultures, and we were fascinated by how they were able to incorporate both and keep it all beautifully green. From kimonos to S’Mores to handwritten love notes, Po Chi and Jeremy layered details upon details to create an Eco-Beautiful wedding day. And that image of the two of them on pages 84-85…stunning!
See it all here…

Real Wedding: Kaitlyn + Tom
When a sustainability consultant bride and a groom studying forestry engineering decided to get married, an Eco-Beautiful Wedding is bound to follow!
Kaitlyn and Tom’s wedding day was the first powered by Bullfrog, a Canadian green energy supplier. The couple opted to incorporate lots of eco details into their day, including a hemp and eco-silk dress for the bride, wedding bands made from recycled gold (from their families) and a registry of locally-produced gifts. Love it!
Many Eco-Beautiful Wedding Wishes to Kaitlyn and Tom!

Eco-Beautiful Style Shoot…in Colorado!
We have a lovely styled shoot to share today from Courtney Lee Photography!
The eco-inspired shoot came together in Colorado and it’s just beautiful. The photographer and event designer, Mosiac Events, worked with all local vendors (like Bella Moon Cakery-yum!), and the pottery and wood tables are handcrafted.
The woods created the perfect backdrop for this lush palette of greens and purples, which really pops against the natural elements. We love the succulents in the centerpieces—so gorgeous!
We hope you enjoyed this woodsy Eco-Beautiful inspiration! Have a wonderful weekend!
