An Example Of A ZahZoom Green Wedding (Nancy & Blair)

Blair and Nancy were married in an organic garden at the school where Nancy works. The "Garden of Hope" is a shared labor of love for this couple.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Each of Nancy's nine bridesmaids carried a bouquet of locally harvested organic lavender, and each chose the style of her own dress, in hopes that these lovley silk frocks might not be doomed one-time-wear.

________________________________________________________________________________Blair and Nancy supported the school's music program by hiring a senior girls' string quartet to play their ceremony and cocktail reception.

Handmade, recycled paper fans served as escort cards, notifying guests of their table assignments...

____________________The fans doubled as decorative and practical accessories durring the ceremony.

Balir and Nancy performed a planting ritual as a part of their ceremony, to symbolize their commitment to being cultivators and nurturers in their lives together, and with respect to the world around them.

Their guest tables were decorated with an elemental theme (Earth, Wind, Fire Water) and they gifted each guest a douglas fir sapling in a paper tube at their place. Each tree was wrapped in meaningful poems and ready for planting!

Epicurean Group created a beautiful, local, seasonal, organic buffet.

Guests also enjoyed organic cupcakes, in line with the elemental theme, by Cake Coquette.

The indoor/outdoor seating arrangement was perfect on this warm June night...



Blair and Nancy had a very romantic wedding, in a meaningful place, and in a manner that strongly reflected their values, including their eco-friendly lifestyle!
