Favor Style: Ornaments!

Warm up your winter wedding and your guests’ hearts with an ornament! If you are still searching for the ideal guest gift, ornaments are a timeless holiday favor that will be special reminder of your wedding day for years to come.

Take a peek at a few ideas…

Support international artisans by gifting handmade ornaments like this one! This Big Heart Ornament is made in Bali and from sustainable wood. We found it thanks to the fab ecofabulous blog!

Pretty, pretty pink! And vintage! Etsy is a great resource for beautiful vintage (like these from seller HighPoint Farm). Also consider mixing and matching your wedding colors and using designed ornaments that complement your theme.

Packaging your favors in boxes or bags made from recycled paper keeps it green and chic!

An Attitude of Gratitude

When we think about “being” green, our thoughts often immediately focus on organic products that are not harmful to the environment, recycling,
things along those lines. While these elements are certainly a significant part of the green movement, the principle of graciousness is also fundamental to
living a true green lifestyle. Weddings are the perfect opportunity to practice the art of gratitude and to give
thanks.

Besides being incredible wedding and event planners, Nick and Aleah Valley of Valley and Co. are constantly seeking ways to help couples
to make their wedding guests and loved ones feel special and appreciated. Through little details such as preparing homemade treats, you can show love to
those who come from near and far to honor your wedding day.

If you are ready to get hands-on and create a celebration filled with love, as well as local and seasonal elements, get with Nick and Aleah in their feature, “Eco-Beautiful Fall Tips” on page 30 of the new issue!

Favorite Favors

Favors are a sweet way to say “thank you” to all the loved ones who travel from near and far to celebrate your wedding. With that in mind, it’s easy to get creative…and eco-friendly.

After a long night of dancing, edible gifts are always a big hit and thoughtful, useful mementos almost never get left behind. Who wouldn’t want a sweet mug for their morning coffee or yummy jam to spread on toast? Whatever you choose, use your heart and think green… guests will be touched and the environment will be grateful!
