Have you ever stopped to ask where your flowers come from? Currently, 80 percent of flowers sold in the U.S. are grown overseas. Not to mention most florists toss 40 percent of the stems they purchase! It’s important we make better, more sustainable choices when it comes to flowers, but where do we begin? I...
You might know, I got married earlier this year. You can read all about it from the dress to the bachelorette party here. What most of you probably don’t know is we were supposed to be getting married tomorrow. That’s right, our original wedding date was 11.4.17. I’d love to tell you we changed our...
My bachelorette party was two months ago! But, I have had several requests for the zero waste details. The party planning was completely out of my control, but my two best friends were in charge! I wasn’t worried about trash for one second. When you have awesome friends, they respect you and your lifestyle choices....

I was so excited to go wedding dress shopping! Then I actually started shopping for my wedding dress. Hello, overwhelm! Shopping for an ethical wedding dress wound up being difficult because I couldn’t really try any on. Most of the ethical wedding dress options are only available online which is a bummer. I went to...
Alright, we’re past the craze of the holiday season. It’s now time for me to focus on planning this wedding. A zero waste wedding certainly feels like a daunting task. And, with most things in life and especially zero waste, there are no right answers. There are rather an array of choices ranging from good,...
As most of you know, I am engaged! I am so excited to start the wedding planning process. After I announced the engagement, I received several emails asking about engagement rings.
