Eco-Candy Shop

An edible favor is always a hit with wedding guests! In keeping with your {green} theme, your favors should be sweet and eco-friendly!

Chocolatiers Curase and Cioccolada are great resources for organic, fair-trade sweets. One of our fave sites, Etsy, is the place to find locally-made treats.

Keep your favors eco-sweet from the inside out by packaging them in pretty recycled boxes or bags!

Grooms Get Packing!

The hotel or resort is booked. The airline tickets are purchased. The passports (if needed) are waiting.

Of course you packed your honeymoon carry-on bag weeks ago, but if your groom has yet to get started, we thought we’d put together a honeymoon checklist to make things a little easier!

The Essentials

If you are headed to sun and sand…

If you are headed to snow and skis…

Don’t forget the camera! Happy Honeymoon!

Beach Fun!

Warmth of the sun….Sand between your toes….Cool ocean breezes…Eco-Beautiful beach weddings!

We love the idea of fun weddings on the beach- the flip flops, food (homemade taffy, anyone?) and of course family and friends.

So, whether you are headed to the beach to get hitched or planning to bring a little beach to you, just have fun!

And don’t forget the sunscreen!

The Sweetest Thing

A couple’s first dance…the toss of the bouquet…and of course, the cutting of the cake! All time-honored traditions of the reception celebration.

In recent years, the wedding cake has become the pièce de résistance of the reception, a décor element and something guests are guaranteed to look forward to. The beautiful thing about cakes is that they can be inspired by almost anything-color palettes, places, pups-really anything you can imagine!

Some of the most gorgeous couture confections have been inspired by gowns themselves- featuring frilly detailing, jewels, and floral accents that well…take the cake!
