Lately, I've been daydreaming about the challenge of pulling off an entire wedding with an eco twist.  With this idea in mind, I turned to Etsy, and I realized it's a breeze to find unique items to craft a memorable event that's also easy on the earth.  I think each of the items below would make a great start to pulling off the perfect environmentally friendly wedding all the way from the invitations to the favors.  To find more items like these try the search term eco wedding.

14k Diamond Wave Band

Kristin only uses diamonds in her work that are conflict-free and purchased in compliance with the Kimberley Process.  The ring above would make a great option for an engagement ring, wedding band, or combination of the two.  By kristincoffin, $685.
