Plan a green wedding!

It's no surprise that as more and more people are "going green," people are also having "green weddings." Remember, it's your wedding, so you can adjust the green "dial" up as much as you would like! Here are just a few ideas for incorporating "green" into the happiest day of your life:

• There are a variety of eco-friendly wedding invitations, place cards and thank-yous available. Whether your choose to have a professional create your inviations or make them yourself, there are many recycled and now "plantable" papers available. With plantable paper stock, the paper is made with embedded flowers and seeds. After the event, your guests can actually plant the invitation and it will bloom!
• How about organic wedding favors? One popular option is natural and organic skincare with customized labeling to commemorate your special day. Sarah Scott ( http://www.shopsarahscott.com/ ) offers customized solutions for their skincare products, as well as gift baskets filled with natural and organic products, perfect for gifts for bridesmaids and the mother of the bride!
• Sustainable party favors are also becoming increasingly popular. Placecards with saplings attached are a great way to encourage your guests to "go green."
• Serve guests organic foods and wines at the wedding - make it a truly memorable experience with organic alcohol.

Stay natural and keep clear of artifically-scented lotions!

If you're into natural skincare, you know the importance of staying clear of anything that contains artificial fragrances. Store shelves are full of inexpensive lotions and moisturizers that might smell great, but leave you wondering what kind of chemicals you are putting on your skin. However, there are alternatives to those chemically-based lotions. Sarah Scott's Lavender Lotion has a wonderful lavender scent that comes from real essential oil (imagine that!). It's not often you will find a lavender lotion with healing aloe and Vitamin E - which will work wonders on your skin. And don't worry, the natural fragrance isn't overpowering, plus it's safe for sensitive skin too. Available at http://www.shopsarahscott.com/.
