Are any of you Seattle brides still looking for an eco-friendly wedding dress or jewelry?  If so this Wednesday, April 28th the Seattle Fashion Group International is hosting a Twice Blushed Trunk Show that I would encourage you to attend.  This is a great opportunity to view wedding gowns from   Twice Blushed and look through some environmentally conscious jewelry to compliment your wedding attire.  They will be serving cupcakes from Cupcake Royale so you could technically squeeze in a mini tasting while sipping on some champagne. Sounds pretty good right?

When: Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

Time: 6:30-8pm

Where: Vernell Studios, 5228 20th Avenue, Seattle, Wa 98107

I am so excited to share with you Seattle's very first Cupcake Camp!  So what is a Cupcake Camp exactly and how can all you green brides benefit from it? Well just think of it is a really big cake tasting! It is a completely volunteer run event brought to you by our very talented Seattle cupcake experts at Bella Cupcake Couture. You can participate in the Cupcake Camp Seattle a number of ways:

• bake or buy cupcakes to donate
• come to eat cupcakes!
• help raise money for a good cause
  

There will be activities such as baking competitions, cupcake wrapper decorating and cupcake eating!  The best part is that it is FREE and all donations will go towards Hope Heart Institute. 

This event is a great way to find inspiration for your own wedding while raising money for a good cause!  Find out more details on the event here.

When: Saturday, April 10, 2010 11am-2pm

Where: 415 Westlake, Seattle, WA

Monica attended Seattle's very first Green Your Theme event last week and I am sure she will blog it about within the next couple of days.  It was a green business to business event promoting sustainable business practices in Seattle and was actually held at an eco-friendly venue downtown.  (You can visit Emerald Weddings own virtual booth here or join the facebook group to learn more about the event and network with other Seattle green vendors). I will let her fill you in on all the details but what I loved were the pictures of the eco-friendly centerpieces she snapped with her phone!  These were actually designed by Bella Signature Design and I think she just did a fabulous job!

My favorite is the last one with the leaves! I just thought the leaves were such an elegant touch and you can still use potted plants instead of cut flowers because the leaves would hide the root system!  I loved it so much it actually inspired me to talk to one of our brides about doing something similar for her wedding.  She is getting married in June so she is thinking of using different colored hydrangeas (which are in season then).  I found this image and we are using it for inspiration until she decides on her final color palette for the wedding.
