The Brooch
Brooches are one of those classic pieces of jewelry that will never go out of style.
They can be worn in your hair, on your dress, the bouquet, or even the cake. Place a brooch anywhere that can use a little bit of sparkle!
A brooch is the ideal “something borrowed” when it’s a vintage piece, either purchased or passed down from Mom or your Grandmother-to-be. But since there’s a need for that “something new” too, maybe some shopping is in order?

Thankful….for Love!
There’s so much to be thankful for.
But there’s one wonderful thing in particular that gets an extra dose of grateful.
Love!
Every wedding kiss, starry-eyed moment and joyful smile is a reminder of how lucky we are to have love. When it comes to what none of us at Eco-Beautiful could live without, Audrey Hepburn expressed it most elequently: “The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.”

Winter Cheer
“Brew me a cup for a winter’s night.
For the wind howls loud and the furies fight;
Spice it with love and stir it with care,
And I’ll toast your bright eyes, my sweetheart fair.”
-Minna Thomas Antrim
The outside chill will only add to the cozy atmosphere when you toast your winter wedding with delicious seasonal cocktails and warm-hearted words.
Eggnog and mulled wine are timeless winter classics, while a sugar-rimmed candy cane cocktail (made with organic vodka, of course) is sure to make modern spirits bright. For those with a retro vibe, there’s nothing quite like a White Russian to warm you from the inside!

Spring Fever
We know it’s not even Thanksgiving, but we’ve caught ourselves daydreaming about daffodil season! It’s never too early for a little Spring wedding inspiration…after all, these things are planned months in advance! So, we’ve put together a few ideas that leave us breathless: delicate blooms, intricate lace, patterned china, floral bridesmaid dresses, fresh-yet-classic veiling.

Escort Card Inspiration
Escort cards are wedding multi-taskers.
They help your guests find their seats, are an element that adds style continuity and can double as favors.
Considering all that, it’s pretty neat that something so small packs such a punch!
We love getting creative with escort cards, and our favorites, of course, are those that double duty as favors. That versatility decreases waste and helps the environment! If you have something else in mind, have fun and don’t be afraid to get a little personal. No matter what escort card you choose, make sure it’s eco-fabulous by using environmentally friendly paper and ink or reusable materials.
