I have a lot of favorite colors. I’m the girl who cannot pick just one. I have an even bigger obsession with color combos. This is why during my own planning process I struggled with colors, from Yellow and Gray, to Red, Orange and Gray.
So, of course I love one of the new invites in Kenzie Kate’s collection:

There is something so fresh and modern about that navy blue and green together. Yet it has somewhat of an updated traditional feel to it.
Are there any color combos that just make you swoon?
With Christmas just 6 days away, I wanted to share this great green palette I found on Flights of Fancy – one of my favorite blogs to find great color inspiration.

This palette uses great shades of green with a hint of silver. Definitely a classic combo.
Although, I somewhat cringe at the sight of kelly green (I can’t help it, they were my high school colors). I really love the freshness of this table set up and the palette.
The green with the stark white really pops – which is great. The last thing a bride would want is for her decor to fade out with the table linens. Plus this is a great case of “all you can get are white linens, how do you incorporate color?”

Love this color combination for a winter wedding, as featured on Flights of Fancy.

The colors are a great balance of winter-y hues. The combo is a great early Spring choice as well!
Of course, I love anything ec0-friendly that can be incorporated into a wedding. It’s a fantastic way to decrease your carbon footprint.

The Budget Savvy Bride recently featured eco-friendly garters by Julianne Smith. Julianne creates a wide array of grosgrain ribbon garters to match your style and colors. But she recently added four new garters to her collection, which happen to be green (as in eco-friendly). The material is made from recycled plastic bottles! And they look just as chic as the rest of her collection!

Plus, she swears they are just as soft as her regular garters! Just think, the next time you toss that soda or water bottle, you could be contributing to a bride-to-be’s garter!
And, no, this is no post about the adorable Kermit the Frog.
I’m always on a mission to find ways and ideas to incorporate green and eco-friendly concepts into our daily lives and our wedding. I love coming across new websites and blog posts about anything eco-friendly. They get added to my Google Reader and bookmarked right away.
That’s beside the point. Our initial idea was to come up with an ec0-friendly favor for the guests. The first idea was plantable trees, but that can be costly, especially for a large wedding. The second idea was to use plantable seed paper for our invitations or menus. Something the guests can plant, rather than throw away. Nothing seemed to be coming together.
These are the plantable tree favors:

Today, I found these. Albeit, they are cute, but really, what is the purpose? Would you really want to have it dangling around on your phone all of the time? And, what about the guys?

Yes, they are real plants.
So, we’ve been struggling with green favors. We have an idea for a different favor in mind, which we will share at a later date once the details are finalized.
Did any of you have a hard time deciding on a favor for your guests? Did you keep the environment in mind when deciding?
