I Do Vow To....reduce wedding waste

I have had the pleasure of meeting and working with Amy Rubins of Fete Perfection. She is a passionate, intelligent, and highly motivated event planner in the Twin Cities.

I applaud her recent efforts of creating the blog site and the general mission of "I Do Vow To." The efforts and communication she is hoping to foster are in regard to eliminating unnecessary wedding waste. Many weddings and events create dumpsters full of garbage after the event. We both challenge those planning events to think through how things they use in their events can be used for other purposes after the event.

I'm proud that renting decorations is a small way to help make your wedding "green." With renting, no new packaging is created, nothing is thrown away after the event (or stored in your closet for years to come), and the pieces can be re-used and enjoyed by others.

I am grateful to Amy for writing about MBellish on her popular blog:

"Local Resource = Big Savings

...and it's eco-chic. What could be better than this?

Gosh, I'm getting ahead of myself I better explain - I'm so excited to be working with Mari Bern of MBellish a wonderful company she founded over four years ago {and ahead of the eco-friendly curve I might add} which rents unique, stylish and reusable wedding decor.

She is located in Newport {a St. Paul suburb} however will come to you with her beautiful samples which is an added bonus when you and your wedding planner are selecting linens on the other end of town and having a hard time imagining how everything will coordinate.

Many of these pieces can be stand-alone or MBellish-ed with flowers... they're lovely either way. Two GREEN thumbs up to Mari Bern of MBellish for her contribution to the eco-chic world of weddings and providing less wedding waste."
