Moss Monograms for Weddings

I am loving these custom moss monogram letters for weddings designed by Spotted Leopard. These would be a very nice touch to add to a french country or vintage inspired wedding. The designer can also make them large enough to adorn the entrance doors for a church wedding. Have a look at the ones featured below!

Of course, after your wedding, you can reuse them by incorporating them into your home decor. Perhaps, above your fireplace on the mantel or as wall décor.

So not only are these moss monogram letters a great way to personalize your wedding, but they can serve as nice keepsake from your wedding. To view more custom moss creations by Spotted Leopard, please visit their Etsy shop.

Haute Couture Necklaces by Klewism

In yesterday’s post, I blogged about the release of the summer issue of Eco-Beautiful Weddings. Did you noticed the necklace that the model bride was sporting on the cover of the magazine?

It really caught my eye. So I looked up the name of the jewelry designer because I wanted see more from their collection. WOW is all I have to say, the designs are impressive and the necklaces are pieces of art.

Even more, many of the materials used to make them are made from recycled materials, including some from heirlooms and because of the intricate design of each piece of jewelry, it is near impossible to replicate. Therefore, you will truly have an exclusive piece of jewelry.

The designer states on her website that:

Seeing my finished product is always a surprise to me on some level. Though expecting nothing specific, I’m still astonished (and usually pleased) at getting the unexpected.

In case you are wondering, Lindsey Bucklew is the designer of these one-of-kind fashion accessories and the name of her company is Klewism.You can see more of her jewelry designs in her Etsy shop.

Honeymoon Destinations – Pacuara Lodge in Costa Rica

I first learned about the Pacuara Lodge a couple months ago and every since, I have been telling the Sergeant that we must go here for our next vacation. The biggest reasons I want to visit this lodge is because of the beautiful setting and to experience the many adventures of the rain forest.

You are reading correctly, this jewel is situated on 740 acres in the rain forest of Costa Rica on the Pacuara River. It’s away from everything. Let’s see here…

…you get privacy with your very own bungalow nestled in the middle of the rain forest,

your own private pool with the honeymoon bungalow (Look at that view!),

spa treatments outside while listening to the nature’s music,

romance (What an ambiance!),

and lots of adventure–white water rafting on the Pacuare River, horseback riding, hiking trials, bird watching, swimming, fishing, etc.

Even more, Pacuara Lodge offers eco-friendly bungalows,

made of wood from tree farms and palm thatch collected in the rainforest by our Cabecar Indian neighbors. Each bungalow combines sustainable practices such as solar-heated water and low-impact septic systems with comforts such as orthopedic mattresses and spacious bathrooms.

If you are looking for a honeymoon destination where you can get away from it all, explore nature, and experience a bit of adventure in one of the most beautiful places in the world, you should consider this place.

In case you are wondering, they also permit weddings. It is relatively easy to marry in Costa Rica with a little planning ahead of time. The lodge is ideal for couples wanting to elope, or for intimate destination weddings as they can only accommodate up to 38 adults plus children.

Can you see why I want to visit this place so badly? Would you honeymoon or go on a romantic getaway here?

Eco-Friendly Wedding Rings – Brilliant Earth

If you are bride or groom that is conscious about the traditional practices of the diamond industry and the atrocities that have resulted from the diamond trade, then purchasing and sporting a diamond that very well has supported wars, resulted in bloodshed, destroyed communities and families, does not sit well or suit you in the least bit of ways.
If this is the case as it is with me, I want to share with you a company that sells eco-friendly diamonds and jewelry, including engagement rings and wedding bands. Brilliant Earth was founded by husband and wife team, Beth Gerstein and Eric Grossberg, “to provide certified conflict free diamonds as an alternative to current diamond industry practices.” They started the company after Eric was having a difficult time finding a company that could guarantee conflict-free diamonds for his proposal to Beth.
Brilliant Earth is committed to tracking their diamonds to make sure that they were mined and produced in a socially and ethical manner by getting their diamonds “from Canadian mines that follow environmentally sustainable practices and are committed to delivering high quality gems”. In addition, the company is committed fostering change by educating consumers about the issues affecting the jewelry industries as well as identifying ways to help make a difference. The company also donates five percent of its profits to African communities that have been drastically hurt by the diamond industry.
If you are planning a green wedding and or are conscious about the debilitating affects of the diamond industry and would like to purchase eco-friendly jewelry, please go check out their company’s website and learn more about their mission and what makes their products eco-friendly.
