Thus sayeth Seattle’s beautiful new wedding planning magazine: Seattle Metropolitan Bride & Groom. The coffee-table appropriate publication debuted this month with a great article about “green” weddings and planning an environmentally sound event.

“Even small decisions - say, minimizing paper waste by using postcard-style response cards instead of cards with envelopes, or going for unbleached, biodegradable paper plates - can count in a big way. For earth-friendly invitations, work with custom designers like Kirkland’s Brown Sugar Design, which partners with an EnviroStars-certified commercial printer to craft elegant invitations, programs, and more using recycled paper and soy ink.”

When you pick up your copy, be sure to also check out their informative article on wedding websites and some of the stunning featured real weddings. Their website, too, is a great planning resource for any Northwest bride (& groom)!
