Welcome to EcoWedding

After putting a lot of work into planning our own Green Wedding, we decided to create this website as a resource guide for others wanting to make a statement about their love. We hope you find this useful, and feel free to contact us!

An Organic Orthodox Wedding

lonnie_and_britton.jpg

Miranda Zynda-Kneeland and Adam Kneeland from Reminisce Studio shared this wonderful wedding they photgraphed with us and now we'de like to share it with you!

Loni and Britton, a couple completely devoted to the environment, had their Orthodox ceremony at a church that has a strong social justice and community mission. The Orthodox ceremony incorporates candles, and Loni and Britton chose natural beeswax to symbolize their intent to be stewards of the earth. For the crowning part of the ceremony, the couple had a green ribbon adorning them, signifying their respect for nature. 

Their reception was held at the Urban Ecology Center in Milwaukee (made of all recycled and green materials), which is dedicated to maintaining natural forests within city limits and educating youth about conservation and ecology. Both Loni and Britton are volunteers there, and while we walked around the land for their bride and groom portraits, they taught us about all of the gorgeous wildlife!

The couple also incorporated no cut flowers in their wedding, and for table decorations, displayed potted plants and beeswax candles. Guests enjoyed fresh, organic food!

Gypsystyle
Looking for a gift for your bridesmaids?  Need a weekend bag for your honeymoon?  Gypsystyle  sent us a few sample bags a while back and we just love them!  Stacie has been using her "Sleepover" bag all summer for our weekend getaways and has given up her old boring suitcase.  You can fit a lot in one of those bags and they are stylish too.  

Gypsystyle was founded by Noel Ciani, an ex fashion and celebrity stylist for clients such as Sting, Diana Ross and Scarlett Johansson who decided to pursue a career in photography, travel and environmental efforts.  She started the eco-conscious company in 2004.  Noel wanted to create a bag that was fashionabley chic to replace disposable bags.  The bags are made of 100% recycled plastic made from post-consumer plastic bottles and wrappers.  The fabric is even water resistent.  Noel was always curious about traveling to new lands and visiting exotic cultures, therefore the name "Gypsy" arose.

It looks like they are clearing out their Summer '10 Collection.  All the bags in the Gypsystyle website are ON SALE! Let us know if you get one and what you think.  

Got any other products or services you recommend?  We'de love to hear your thoughts.  Send them our way!
