Design with Nature


Treehugging looks fabulous.
Outmoded wedding habits: book a hotel ball room, schlep in thousands of dollars worth of flowers, deliver the guests in Hummer limos leaving dizzying trails of carbon emissions, have a Las Vegas style DJ fire up the crowds and get everybody boozed up to enforce oblivion. So over: Bridezilla, the creation of clever marketing pros. She was perfect, as norms had to be reached, new levels of "awesome" had to be created and budgets had to be exceeded. Guys gave up on the craze and decided that their role was just to show up.
Today's life partners party exuberantly in nature without following a set of rules and regulations nobody really knows where they came from and why they exist. $$$ Competition with the cousin's 2007 wedding? No need, if you're different.
The princess in the woods has a whole new green cornucopia of choices and creates a wedding, which "has not been there before" without needing to waste cash and resources. Her natural hero loves to get involved in his wedding, as it is hands on fun and, being Eco, even somewhat scientific.
Nature locations resonate with romance and lush design as much as with the smart and savvy trend of saving the earth.

Fairies and Fauna

Pluck your place card from the tree

Keep it simple with flower bulps

Tree favors are still cool - if your guests actually plant the tree.

Rustic with Bamboo and succulents


Wheat Grass looks better than it tastes.
