Meet Laura Swanstrom Reece of The Silken Thread! I was thrilled to be a part of such a cute event for her 5th anniversary over at Frosting! Not only did I get to meet the mastermind behind this incredible company, but got to see some good friends and catch up with Michelle of Frosting!
I absolutely love this concept of placing this embroidered monogram inside your wedding gown. This is great as a gift! My own sister-in-law had one just like it for her wedding day and she got it as a gift at her bridal shower!
So many of my brides hold a handkerchief around their bridal bouquet – this hemstich monogram handkerchief is also perfect as a gift or just to buy for yourself as a bride to pass down through the generations! Since The Silken Thread is local it is fantastic for local brides – but you can also buy personalized embroidered items for any occasion right from her website!
Laura and her team were smart by having their party at Frosting! The cupcakery in Chevy Chase is adorable and the cupcakes are divine. They were featuring a gluten-free chocolate cupcake today. I had the raspberry cupcake – as showcased by the staff here:
Since I know the lady behind the scenes – I was able to grab a few swag bags to give away to you! I have one bag to give away as I already gave one away on Twitter yesterday.
Here is the catch – you have to tell me what you are doing to go green in your life and for your wedding (or wedding business)! These keepsakes from Laura are true treasures and quality products that will last for generations. These are not throw-away items and we love anything personalized for a wedding that will last for years to come. Write in the comments section below about how you are doing something unique to go green and I will send the fab swag bag to you! I will pick a winner on Monday!
Here is a cute photo of the swag bag from Anh Nguyen:
Good Luck!
We’ve been practicing eco-friendly business ways for quite some time. It’s amazing how practicing even small tasks add up to make a world of difference!
We changed our media kit for prospects to electronic + only print if asked. We are also mostly non-paper with all clients!
We correspond with our Seattle office without paper as well and recommend eco-friendly invitations {at least use recycled paper!} to our clients, other eco-friendly vendors, and ideas when possible.
Thanks for the spotlight on the Silken Thread, too – they look fabulous!
In life, we use reusable bags while grocery shopping. But the green trick that always shocks people is that while I’m shopping at the mall I always decline a bag unless it is an armful of stuff. Otherwise, it gets stuffed in my oversized handbag! (Also works great for sneaking items in the house, lol!)
For the wedding, we have decided to do custom scented candles as favors. We are going to use soy wax because it is a renewable resource.
We are giving away edible favors, which will also double as escort cards to reduce waste.
My fiance and I really are committed to lowering our environmental impact in our lives and that includes our wedding. We recycle as much as we can and try to purchase vintage or refurbished products over new ones.
Although a destination wedding sounded nice, we will be staying in the Northeast so that people will not have to fly. I purchased a preowned wedding dress and will be using borrowed jewelry. He will be using a suit he already has. Since our wedding is very small, we will be putting together welcome baskets for everyone with local and organic goods. These are some of the things we are doing to reduce our impact.
Great giveaway, thanks!
