Categories: Green Weddings, Photography, Planning Tips July 21, 2011 / Danielle Freedman

ACME Party Box just introduced a brand new product – “photo booth” backdrops!

Available in a wide range of chic colors and designs, ACME Party Box’s custom “photo booth” backdrop comes with two chalkboard “bubbles” that wedding guests can write their own messages on to the bride and groom. These are retailing for $135.00, perfect for those who have not necessarily budgeted for a full traditional photo booth.

The 3.5′ x 7′ backdrop can be repurposed in a many different ways post-wedding, keeping in line with ACME’s philosophy of sustainability and reuse. Seriously, they have so many cute things, I can’t stand it!!

Shop TOMS wedding styles, and as always, with every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. SO freakin’ awesome!

Green Wedding Gift Shop & Registry

Categories: Gift Registry, Green Weddings August 4, 2010 / Danielle Freedman

One of the best parts of my job (yes, I know there are many!) is meeting all of the fabulous vendors and behind the scenes wedding experts in the industry. A little while ago, I got to meet Kate Harrison, the founder of the Green Bride Guide, a site full of eco-friendly wedding ideas, products and services. Let me tell you something – this is one of those times when I thought, why didn’t I think of this idea – its genius!

The Green Bride Guide registry provides detailed information about each product, including how it is made, where it is made, and what materials were used in its production. With this information at your fingertips, you can make an informed decision so that the products you want are truly eco-friendly.

Woodend Sanctuary

Categories: Green Weddings, Historic Properties, Outdoor Venues July 7, 2010 / Danielle Freedman

Woodend Sanctuary, forty acres of rustic country and forest next to Rock Creek Park in Montgomery County, Maryland, boasts incredible natural backdrops and the choice between elegant, high-ceiling rooms for indoor weddings or peaceful, tree-canopied areas for outdoor weddings.

For your ceremony, choose from the classic Greek portico complete with high, elegant columns and fringed with low-hanging tree branches or the ennchanting wedding grove, a romantic, intimate area surrounded by towering trees that filter in sunlight and provide a gorgeous, natural setting.

Woodend Sanctuary is ideal for beautiful photographs among the wildflowers, tall grasses, and lush green trees.

Aveda Georgetown

Categories: Green Weddings, Upcoming Events May 18, 2010 / Danielle Freedman

Last week, we highlighted all of the fabulous upcoming wedding industry events here in the District.

To add to the list, on Sunday, Aveda/Adele Wechsler National Green Wedding initiative is coming to Washington to let brides know that they have green options for their special day!

Aveda beauty specialists will be offering brides-to-be and their guests a beauty countdown and hair and makeup tips for the big day. Adele Wechsler gowns will be presented because being eco-conscious does not mean sacrificing style. DC Brides can also taste wedding cake samples from Sticky Fingers Bakery, view global fair trade eco-jewelry from Alberto Parada and take in floral displays from Park Florist.

I would love to hear what have you done  - or are planning to do – to make your wedding eco-friendly and green?
