Retro Wedding Photo Display!

Loving this post from Brides magazine providing an alternative way to display your wedding photos!

I am thinking about using it for my son's first birthday to track him through his first year! Could also be used as a thank you gift to your parents or displaying your engagement photos to keep your guests entertained!

Simply go to Image 3D upload your digital images, add 3D captions and a few days later your view master will arrive in a sleek white box on your doorstep. The first set (includes viewer, one reel and gift box) is $25 with additional sets costing just $15 each.

Let's Go Camping!

In honor of national camping moth we wanted to do a round-up on camping ideas for your wedding.

Mmm! I am loving this recipe I stumbled upon on Pizzazzerie. These S'more truffles would make the perfect inexpensive favor tied-up in a piece of burlap.



Ingredients:

9 oz bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped (about 1.25 cups)

2/3 cup cream

4 graham cracker sheets or 1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/2 cup miniature marshmellows

2 tbsp butter

Directions:

Melt butter in medium size saucepan. Whisk in cream and bring to rapid boil. Remove pan from heat and stir in chocolate chips. Place saucepan in fridge for about 1 hour or until firm. Using your hands roll chocolate into ball around mini marshmellows. Roll chocolate in crushed graham crackers. Place in fridge to harden.

Tips to host an Eco-Friendly Wedding

Looking to host a full-on sustainable wedding or maybe just want to infuse some green trends? Here are some tips and a few of our fav eco-friendly finds:

Green doesn't have to sacrifice beauty these days, look for invitations printed on recycled paper with recycled ink in an arrangement of colors and finishes. You can even buy seed paper and your guests can plant their invite to grow pretty wildflowers or herbs for their garden!




There are plenty of options out there for eco-friendly guest favors and they range in price. In lieu of favors, you may consider donating money to a Green cause. Two of our favorites - Bamboo servers & seed paper!








These recycled glass vases from Anthropologie will make cute centerpieces or great gifts for the bridal party -





Recycled Bride offers used bridal attire and accessories! Shop at the farmer's market or go with a farm-to-table and support your local communities. Live in the DC area and looking for a spot to host a farm-to-table wedding, All Buttoned-Up did a wedding last September at Grandale Farm. It was a beautiful setting and the food was exquisite.



Check back tomorrow and we will do a local round-up of farm-to-table options around DC!
