Green Weddings: This is a first dance, guys!

Luxuriously Green

Weddings are a truly magnificent excuse to throw the biggest, most elaborate party bash ever, allowing us to be kings and queens, being celebrated, applauded, loved and adored. We all deserve a day of fame and spending a fortune on it without blinking an eye. Actually we all deserve being seen and loved every day. But as long as that doesn't quite work we have "my day" often combined with " it's only one day" obsessions: one of my brides tossed $20,000 worth of deep red roses after the fairy tale, others "just" drove in a hummer limo or left us with tons of left over little frames, bells and bubble tubes. Multiply this with a million "my days" a year....
And then imagine beauty without plastic wrap and clouds of pesticides: contemporary lovebirds, whatever their style, theme or vibration celebrate with mind and heart. Be it with Zenlike simplicity or creative indulgence, with rock'n roll passion or down to earth sweetness, their celebrations include family and friends, community and the planet who sustains us.
Luxuriously Green or naturally green, it's the creative design that counts.

At least eco-fashion makes it easier to breathe: organic cotton suits provide natural comfort, organic cosmetics help to feel fresh and of course, the organic beer doesn't only taste better but reduces the chance for headaches.

One of her brides brought her own Moroccan lamps and silver tea pots on huge silver trays for Moroccan mint tea, but rented 200 colorful tea glasses (or you could purchase the glasses from a Fair Trade company and use them as favors). Another one of Weihs' couples used gnarly, found tree branches to display the 200 colorful handmade origami birds that served as place cards.....read more..
