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.
