Okay. You’ve got the dress. You’ve finally decided on locally grown in-season flowers. You’ve selected an organic caterer. You’ve ordered the invitations on recycled paper.  Now, what are you going to wear on your feet?? Let’s just say earth-friendly has never been so eco-cute!

Have you heard about these adorable Mohop sandals that are environmentally friendly? So eco-unique. With one pair of wooden sandals, you can lace any ribbon to create your very own unique, custom-fit pair.  Plus, your bridesmaids can wear sandals and mix and match laces in their own style with colors that coordinate with their dresses. Fabulous!

Featured recently at the Elegantly Green Wedding Showcase in Boston, Mohop sandals are individually hand-made by Annie Mohaupt in Chicago. How are they green:

  • Woods are sustainably-sourced domestic hardwoods (essentially, woods from family owned American farms and lumberyards, that plant more trees than they harvest)
  • The soling is composed of natural rubber and rice husks (that are normally disposed of)
  • A high-end 100% fabric is used instead of real leather (which is typically tanned in an extremely toxic process)

So get creative! These beauties are re-wearable in many colors and lace options!

Handmade Birdseed Wedding Favors Add Natural Beauty to Green Weddings 4 comments

birdseed favors

We are so proud of our newest collection of eco-friendly wedding favors. As a bird lover (did you see our logo?), I am in love with these all-natural, hand-made birdseed wedding favors.  Available in hearts, peace dove or circle of love, these charming favors are made from natural organic ingredients.

There’s no shortage of ideas for outdoor weddings, farm weddings and any eco-event!

-Hang them as a decoration around your outdoor wedding.
-Make a wonderful table centerpiece with flower pots used to hold tree branches and then hang these bird seed hearts on them for decorations.
-Place a note at each centerpiece to tell your guests to take one home to feed the birds.
-Decorate individual place settings, put them in handmade baskets to hand out as favors, or even use as napkin holders.

Adding to the “eco-cuteness” is the personalized tag, which is printed on recycled paper and attached with hemp twine. Wish I had these for my outdoor garden wedding (many years ago!).
