While perusing the internet on the lookout for unique resources for my brides (and grooms) I stumbled upon Rethink Ink Design. Yes, it may be true that my green side is peaking through, but they also have stunning design.

From Judy: 'Rethink ink designs are all original hand drawn illustrations, purposefully designed so there will be minimal ink coverage, which also reduces waste produced in the recycling process. I create as little waste as possible in day to day operations as well. All paper scraps are recycled, reused or shredded for my chicken's bedding! Everything else is composted or reused whenever possible.

Each order is custom made, hand cut and folded for you on 100% pcw recycled paper. So whether you are giving a gift, sending a thank you note or planning a wedding, you will receive an eco-friendly product you can feel good about.

I am inspired by the things I see in the natural world around me. I  appreciate nature, especially the way it works, the way it repairs itself, despite our continual abuse. Nature adapts and changes it's own design when necessary, and I feel we should too.'


From the website: 'All of the designs are printed on 100% post-consumer waste (PCW) recycled papers and envelopes, no new trees are used in the process. These papers are Forest Steward Council (FSC) certified. FSC tracks paper from forest to final product to ensure it comes from legal and well managed forests. The papers used are also made with renewable green e-certified energy and manufactured chlorine free.'

You can find Judy's website HERE. She does stunning work, it is definitely worth a look! Enjoy!

Every once in a while I stumble on something that I can not help but to share. This time I could not resist! While looking for resources for my couples I stumbled upon Beth Cyr's wedding shop on Etsy.

In her words: 'Welcome to my wedding shop! I love creating unique organic metal jewelry and custom nature inspired wedding bands in 100% recycled gold and sterling.'

My little green heart skipped a beat. Not only are they hand made, beautiful, and really different: hey are made of recycled gold and sterling!!! They are inspired by nature and good for nature.

This is just one of the sets that I love. There are many more designs and other types of jewelry. If you are interested, you can see how she makes the rings on her Jewelry Blog. Beth thank you for your creativity! Your product is beautiful, I wish you the best of luck!
