Eco inspired invitations

Rustic wrapping paper charm in a storytelling vintage way... the 20ties come up, shiny old German printing presses, a foggy street with a red Crossley Silver and its shiny wire wheels, men in soft hats and long cashmere coats...
These green wedding invitation suite is printed on recycled card stock. The outer envelope and the R.S.V.P. envelope made from recycled paper. All wrapped with black twine.

Malibu Nature Preserve

 

I am looking forward to my next wedding at the Malibu Nature Preserve on April 9, 2011. Wedding planning is in full bloom and I will meet Suzanne and Christopher on Sunday to finalize all the fun details.

 Hand painted signs on reclaimed wood are beautiful in rustic settings.

 Michelle opted for wild flower style center pieces and bridal flowers.

Her hand painted table numbers were already integrated into other wedding designs to the delight of the eco cool thinking brides.

Green Wedding Venues

Before I go local LA about eco wedding venues, here's one in Nashville, the rustic chic of Cedarwood Weddings in White Creeks.

The 1830′s antebellum farm estate is amazing for fun, contemporary wedding pictures.

 

They schlep their valuable furniture into the gardens for you to cozy up and offer an amazing array of antique decor for rent: silver, vintage crystal, wedding cake stands, rustic crates, birdcages, chandeliers, lanterns....

What's also green about them? The place is an historic landmark. To restore and keep these memory packed places alive is a good green way to invest our money. I am awaiting a phone call back from them to see how they deal with their landscaping and energy needs. Maybe there's even more green to them.
"Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Whites Creek Historic District is the best representation of an architecturally and historically significant rural community in Metropolitan Nashville-Davidson Country", seems cool for history buffs and architecture lovers and really for any hip romantic with Wanderlust.
