Congratulations to Melissa and Max for winning my wedding photography contest! I got such an amazing vibe from them and their environmentally friendly plans make me so happy. Here is what their wedding is all about:
- We are going to do everything outside in a huge meadow we have on our property, and the goal is to have it look a little like people have stumbled upon a fairy land in the woods, lots of candles and lights hanging in the trees, maybe Swiss Family Robinson lives there type of setting
- The main focus of the outdoor school where we work is sustainability and so we are planning on incorporating that theme as much as possible
- The facility is built green (straw bale insulation, solar panels, radiant floor heating, wheat walls, newspaper insulation, fly ash, adobe, awesomeness)
- We are getting our food from the farmers market (mainly vegetarian dishes at this point)
- We’re growing the flowers in our organic teaching garden
- The place cards, center pieces and cake stands will all be made from wood we have around camp
- My dress is vintage from the 50′s
- The beer and wine will all be local
- The favors are reusable bags
- We have wild turkeys and deer all over the place (and owls at night) and we also have 4 pet chickens (they may be the flower girl)
- We’re registering for a honeymoon instead of more stuff
- There is a good chance we’ll be barefoot (that’s not necessarily sustainable, but Max thought I should add it to the list)”
I couldn’t be more excited!!! *swoons
Thanks so much to everyone that entered. This choice was so difficult and overwhelming due to the amazing entries I received.
Cheers,
