Visit your local antique shop and find a handsome set of rings or maybe 2 individual rings that aren't going to send you into debt and you'll be saving the earth with products that already exist.

When you're ready to send the save the date announcements or the invitations, send them out on magnets that your intended guests will keep for years to come. A magnet announcement or magnetic invitation is going to make an announcement to everyone about your exciting news and give them a little something as a keepsake too.  Have your save the date magnets printed with your favorite picture and place them on the magnet for a background with the dates and time printed on it.

When choosing your dress, there are beautiful gowns made from organic cotton or peace silk, sustainable materials that are good for our environment. Think of how many wedding gowns and brides maid dresses are worn once and then left to just hang in closets forever. Unless it's a family heirloom, choose dresses that can be worn again and again. Allow the men of the wedding part to wear suits they already have or just rent a tux rather than purchasing new.

Keep your flowers sustainable too from the men's boutonniere, your bouquet and the table flowers at the reception can all be made with organic flowers. Order what is available locally so no need for delivery vehicles adding the carbon monoxide in the air. Consider having your flower arrangements made from clay, dried or silk flowers so they last forever. Each of your bridesmaids can take home an arrangement for their keepsake.

Replace the standard aisle runner that is usually disposable and use leaves, scatter petals or recycled confetti. For a creative twist, make your own aisle runner from sustainable materials. This can make a beautiful wall hanging after the wedding when made of materials such as burlap.  

When it comes to the reception and decoration and food, keep it seasonal. Serve bite-sized organic appetizers and desserts! Your guests enjoy and marvel at foods that are served on edible dishes instead of the plastics that take up space or glass wares that have to be washed.

For beverages and decorations, consider having personalized labels printed up for bottles of champagne and water! With the couples name and their special date printed, these will make decorations that are used or taken home by your wedding party members for memories. Individual water bottles with the personalized label are wonderful item for your guest to leave with.

Look for a photographer that works with digital materials. This saves waste and you can delete the pictures you don't want and choose the pictures you do want in print online. Ask your photographer of choice if they use recycled paper for printed pictures.

It's your big day and you'll want plenty of memories for yourself and your guests. By going green with your wedding, your guests will have something to talk about remember for years to come. And with the right choices, the Earth won't have those usual memories left behind.

Valentine's Day is for Love

The one day of the year that is exclusively about love is Valentine’s Day. Dating back to the 15th century, the traditions of giving love notes and gifts of beautiful floral bouquets have spanned the decades. The history of how Valentine’s Day got its name is not really clear; there are numerous proverbs from the 1400s, all likely possible. One favorite tale involves Saint Augustine, who before he was put to death, wrote his love expression to the jailer’s daughter signing it, “From Your Valentine.”

Flowers became a big part of the annual winter celebration because in folklore, St. Valentine was thought to bring the keys of roots so planting on February 14th began the new growth for spring.

Back in the early times of giving Valentine’s cards, children and adults made their cards and many were quite elaborate. There was something exciting and fulfilling about the handmade cards. Many generations went to great lengths to make cards on exquisite paper, tissues and with fabulous colors. It was considered a special time if those days of old.

Fast forward to modern times and notice that the cards today are mass produced lacking quality and uniqueness. It doesn’t matter whether a card has glitter and charm, if it does not strike a chord; if every other person around the area receives the same card, what value is there is duplicity?
