Welcome to the second issue of the Green Elegance Weddings newsletter!

Our website has been online for two months now, and we've really enjoyed being in touch with you as you make your wedding plans.

It's exciting to see the topic of green weddings popping up more and more frequently in the media. The June 2006 issue of the Conscious Choice magazine features an article all about green weddings. Read what couples have to say about their own green weddings - and hear from professionals in many areas of green wedding planning including Green Elegance Weddings founder Valerie Edmunds.

New for you at Green Elegance Weddings is a line of Plantable Seeded Wedding Favors. These favors are made of handmade paper embedded with wildflower seeds that your guests can take home and plant as a remembrance of your wedding celebration.

Join us as now as we highlight news of interest to eco-wedding couples - and offer do-it-yourself wedding favor projects, men's wedding apparel advice, and an article on conflict free diamonds.

The newsletter publishes every other month - so until next time, happy green wedding planning to you!

Do-It-Yourself and Custom Wedding Favors

Today's wedding favors have evolved from the centuries-old custom of giving gifts to wedding guests as a couple's gesture of gratitude for joining in the joyful celebration of their new life together. Show your gratitude to the planet as well by making your own eco-friendly wedding favors.

Men's wedding apparel that's in harmony with the earth

In our last issue we talked about finding eco-friendly wedding gowns and bridesmaid dresses. Now we focus on attire for the groom, groomsmen, and ushers who also want to look great while keeping the planet in mind

Diamonds are beautiful gemstones that for decades have come to represent true love and commitment. Whether you pick your diamond out with your fiancé, leave it to him, or provide subtle “hints” along the way, knowing the history of your diamond is important.
