Real Wedding: Natalie + Brett

Some little girls have visions of grand weddings, surrounded by lots of family and friends, while others dream of a simpler day, with a celebration made just for two. This week’s featured bride, Natalie, was that girl with the simple dream, so she and her groom, Brett, opted for a small, intimate ceremony atop the mountains in Costa Rica…

Many Eco-Beautiful Wedding wishes to Natalie + Brett!

Real Wedding: Jess + Nick

Marine biologists Jess and Nick’s love for water, the environment and Hawaii created the perfect wedding celebration setting. The self-described science geeks have done several science studies near the Hawaiian coastline, so they envisioned a wedding day that encompassed as much of the island as possible. It certainly shows! From the themed invitations and programs (created by eco designer Bella Figura) to pineapple-accented bouquets and centerpieces to the authentic hula dancers, Jess and Nick’s Florida celebration was so Hawaiian, their guests had no choice but to hang loose. The couple even provided eco-friendly mosquito repellant to keep everyone bite free!

Beautiful!

Ho’omaika’i ‘ana Jess and Nick, and many Eco-Beautiful wedding wishes to you!

Real Wedding: Rebekah and Kyle

Rebekah and Kyle love thrifting, so when it came to planning their wedding, they looked to their favorite thrift shops for treasures to make their day extra special. The end result was a lot of the décor items, which now decorate their home. Their thrifty mindset continued with a “something old and borrowed” from Rebekah’s mom—her wedding dress, and sunflowers and wildflowers from a local florist. Add in some pies baked lovingly by family for the reception, and a few other family heirlooms, and Rebekah and Kyle’s Eco-Beautiful Wedding was complete…

There’s more…

Lovely!

Many Eco-Beautiful Wedding wishes to Rebekah and Kyle!
