Big shout out to Katie Martin (@greenwed) and Robin Fisher (@polishedimage) for another spectacular issue. They did not miss a beat. There are so many amazing ideas to help you plan a fab eco-friendly wedding. Be sure to check out the behind-the-scenes article written by yours truly. If you are not already following the magazine on Twitter, please do, @ecobeautiful. Enjoy.

First of all, how cute is the name Pancake and Franks? Too cute. More letterpress goodness for you to peruse and consider for your wedding invitations. Pancake and Franks also print on 100% recycled paper. So that's a eco-fabulous plus! These are my favs, especially the Pisces invitation (number 3). See more on their web site.

These beautiful Swarovski crystal & pearl earrings were created with lovely tiny antique eggshell pearls. Chandelier earrings are the perfect accessory, especially when you are wearing your hair off your ears. Get this recycled, eco-fabulous pair of earrings at Greighday Vintage.

I was fortunate to be invited to the launch of the beautiful Eco-Beautiful Weddings Magazine in NYC last week. The magazine is the brainchild of Katie Martin who is one of the world’s leading eco-friendly wedding experts. She has owned and operated Elegance & Simplicity, Inc. since 1998. Her firm has designed 1000’s of eco-friendly events and has been heralded internationally by magazines, newspapers, blogs and other forms of media. So it was a natural progression for the woman who has been merging eco-friendly and weddings for over 12 years to pull it all together in this gorgeous magazine. Hats off to you Katie and the entire Eco-Beautiful Weddings Magazine staff. Looking forward to Issue #2.
