Bridal lovelies, the Spring 2010 issue of Eco-Beautiful Weddings is now available. On the cover is my girl, the lovely Persephone, who looks simply beautiful.

There are some amazing finds by Editor-in-Chief, Katie Martin and Style Editor, Robin Fisher. You can check out what Managing Editor, Michelle Slaughter is reading now. Also, one of my favorite stories is a spotlight on a bride who has a love of vintage (like myself). I am also loving the feature on the couture gowns by Elizabeth St. John and OMG, Leanne Marshall, Project Runway winner of Season 5 talks about her line of eco-friendly wedding dresses.

But of course, you will also find some amazing green wedding resources to help you with you eco-wedding planning. Get to reading, ladies!

I am planning my outfit for an event, the hardest thing for me to find is a great clutch. Something that is unique, glamorous, and full of sparkle. So I fell in love with the variety of options at Moyna. I had the worst time trying to choose my favorites. But I was able to narrow it down to these few. The first one is my absolute favoriet. See these and their entire collection on their web site.

This is so lovely. The Sprout letterpress wedding invitation set is the creation of Anemone Lettepress. See this wedding suite and their entire collection here.
