Guest Post: Using Wood for an Eco-Friendly Wedding Wednesday, April 17, 2013 ~ 12:15 p.m.

Today, I am happy to welcome Edi of Memories for Life, who is here to share some beautifully intricate wooden designs from her Etsy shop!

Going green is very important for many brides and grooms these days. It's important to think of how your wedding will impact the environment and make responsible choices while still having a beautiful wedding day. One way to be Eco-friendly while retaining beauty is with sustainably harvested wood.

Wood wedding invitations are one way to add beauty to your wedding while being respectful to the environment. All of the wood used in the wedding invitations above come from sustainably harvested forests and a local mill. Another added bonus to these wooden invitations is that they won't ever end up in the landfill...who could possibly stand to part with them. They become a keepsake from your wedding day for your guests to enjoy.

These wooden guest books have all the same benefits as the invitations and make great home decor after your big day. The wood covers look beautiful resting on a coffee table. And the kraft paper option is made from 100% recycled paper.

Because wood is a long-lasting product, the wooden items from your wedding will be around long after the party is over. Wooden table numbers can be saved for an anniversary party or a vow renewal. How fun to have the original decorations to celebrate with again and again.
