We love Emily and Jeremy's organic event at Barr Mansion & Artisan Ballroom in Austin, Texas - the nation's only certified organic event facility! Their use of eco-friendly florals, accented by splashes of lavenders, pinks and reds, were enhanced by candelit decor and uniquely designed centerpieces. For more fantasy photos from green photographer Alina Prax, check out La Dolce Vita Photography.

 | Woodland WeddingsWe get it -- you want a beautiful, drool-worthy wedding but you don't have two sticks to rub together. Well, get thee to a park and start collecting those fallen twigs and branches! That's right, this woodland-inspired container can be made with found objects (that's right, free!!!). Wood slices make excellent escort cards, too. For more DIY projects like this, check out iDIY, a do-it-yourself blog for weddings. |

 | Sake to MeWe found this great little centerpiece via Style Me Pretty, the uber-blog of wedding. There are many rich, rustic images by designer Alison Ulshoffer, but we instantly zeroed in on the masu cup! As you faithful readers may know, the WedVERT team has designd its fair share of green events, from the launch of WedVERT to celebrity bashes. We've used masu cups and we love them! Why?more >> |

 | Salvaged Table SettingsOn May 9, 2009, Stephenie and Mark claimed each other as husband and wife, but they also reclaimed pieces of barn wood to use as a stylish accent for their eco-friendly reception -- coincidence? I think not! A majority of the reclaimed barn wood was used as a home board for the table numbers, which were previously owned house numbers Stephenie and Mark found at salvage shops (image 1). more >> |

 | Recycled IndulgenceWith a love of flowers, Laurin found a fantastic and cost-effective way to recycle and enjoy plenty of flowers at her South Carolina wedding. With a bit of guidance from florist Annie Mueller, Laurin opted to incorporate the bridesmaid bouquets as centerpieces for the reception, as well as decoration for the cake table, restrooms, and cocktail tables. By reusing pieces from the ceremony for the reception, this allowed Laurin to keep within her budget and use a few more of her favorite flowers (cymbidian orchids!) in larger arrangements.more >> |

 | a second-hand wedding with first-class styleJill and Ryan, a psychology assistant and technologist, respectively, hail from our nation’s most cherished neighbor—Canada! Their green-chic wedding, held last June in Vancouver, shows just how easy it is to find used items for a wedding. Eighty percent of their décor was bought second-hand online. “Craigslist is a bride’s best friend,” says Jill. Not only did they save money on the items they purchased, they also resold the pieces they bought (including Jill’s wedding dress!), recouping much of the original cost.more >> |

 | seaside oasisToo beautiful to be true, Tulum, located on the eastern coast of the Yucatan peninsula, is one of Mexico's most treasured national preserves and a nesting ground for turtles. It's also the location and inspiration behind Malisa and Todd's intimate seaside wedding. "I had a vision of white sand beaches, which are very hard to find in today's environment of the mega resort,” Malisa says. “I stuck with my vision, though, and it led us to Tulum, where sea turtles nest and hotels are solar-powered in order to avoid light pollution and keep the turtles happy.” more >> |
