Real Wedding: Castle Green, Pasadena – Angela & JamesNina of Love and Lemonade is hands down one of my favorite wedding photographers to work with. She’s super friendly, talented, and sends over perfectly edited photographs in a jiffy. Nina – We still have to meet up for coffee soon! I’ll let her tell the story of Angela and Jame’s beautiful wedding at the Castle Green in Pasadena, CA. Dark clouds covered the morning sky and it appeared rain would be imminent. But it wouldn’t dare rain. Not on Angi and James’s wedding day. Not on the wedding day of one of the happiest couples. And their sunny disposition was obviously infectious ...

The list is long and fabulous and rather than trying to recreate it with my own, I am just going to point you to theirs.Many of the companies carry items made by women who are paid a fair price for their skill instead of being exploited in sweat shops. Some of the other companies in...

Green wedding for a green queen?
After reading about her eco chic friend’s wedding on Ethical Weddings, The Green Queen decided to take a look at her own wedding plans… and very kindly agreed to share them with us. Enjoy! My gorgeously green friend, Sarah got married a couple of months ago and sent me the write up of their sustainable wedding at Ethical Weddings. It reminded me that of course I wanted an ethical wedding. It’s just it’s really really easy to forget when you are planning the day. Especially when you have a groomzilla on your hands. One who wants everything perfectly matching. Well, it’s not over yet...
