And after having grown up in an Irish Catholic household, trust me, if you're having a traditional Catholic ceremony, you're going to want to give your guests some reading material!<br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">I've of course always been a fan of programs and pretty paper, but I for sure struggled with designing a functional program that would be environmentally friendly and not as <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">wasteful</span> as the typical options. After countless mock-ups and many different designs I've come up with a solution that I think that you'll all love!! I found this fantastic ribbon from <a href="http://www.oftheearth.org/">Of the Earth </a>in Seattle, made from recycled and vegetable dyed, handmade paper. So not only will your programs look fabulous! but you'll be able to recycle or compost the entire program!! And if you're looking for a more formal look, I'm offering a gorgeous, vegetable dyed double faced satin ribbon, that's completely non toxic. The programs are also printed on 30-100% recycled paper and printed with an energy efficient digital printer. Plus, I've designed them to have an extremely efficient paper yield, so there will be no paper waste turning the production process, which is generally unheard of in the stationery industry! </span></span> <span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br />You can purchase these little <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">lovelies</span> through my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Etsy</span></span> shop, at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/FoosieDesign">www.FoosieDesign.Etsy.com</a>. <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=41918691">Assembled programs</a> range from $3.00-$2.25 each depending on quantity.

Not only is Vintage jewelery earth friendly, it also fits the requirements of the "something old" category. And if you happen across a stunner, like this opal with cerulean blue rhinestones cocktail ring, you can check both boxes in the "something old" and "something blue" categories.<br /><br />Now before you run out to your favorite vintage shop, make sure you check in with mom and grandma first. Chances are they may have something that you"ll absolutely love that they've been waiting to pass down to you. What better way to celebrate the "something old" category than to wear a bracelet that your grandma wore in her wedding, or maybe the hair comb that your mom used to pin in her veil.<br /><br />I think that this might be one of my favorite traditions as far as Weddings go as it stems from sentiment rather luxury. Even the "new" category can be something that was given to you by a friend or loved one. You don't have to use it as an excuse to go out an buy brand new Tiffany earrings, unless your really want to, and then it's totally acceptable :)<br /><br />To check out more of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">emmjeyessvintage</span> vintage finds, check out her <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Etsy</span> shop at <a href="http://www.emmjeyessvintage.etsy.com/">emmjeyessvintage.etsy.com</a></span></span><span style="font-size:85%;"> </span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> and enjoy!!<br /><br /></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVhXRR6v3ey0FZccKC0fV9nAwGqTSEtSlvFpEPoahJti9S0X00HYhkhCM3QcL8e_HSDIYi2ToxjZ5A1cBRKCFpBM2Z6pR01Gq4xNUADri0V9fIpFo-zImssV4aqO69adTlbYwBOkFO-cw/s1600-h/il_430xN.122966444.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 259px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVhXRR6v3ey0FZccKC0fV9nAwGqTSEtSlvFpEPoahJti9S0X00HYhkhCM3QcL8e_HSDIYi2ToxjZ5A1cBRKCFpBM2Z6pR01Gq4xNUADri0V9fIpFo-zImssV4aqO69adTlbYwBOkFO-cw/s320/il_430xN.122966444.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448908763114354578" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVeyYlZPBTPDH07tpNhNOXRa_b4fI6c1VmrnMiKW-HfNrO4TylTPTNHodxsEbgidLc4DxsJacbJL5MccjOxhTIgmD9Kuft0ZKJ88pwx00IveyePyQ2hijMjcmLvPpCpXsacL7_AwmI5sE/s1600-h/il_430xN.115614578.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVeyYlZPBTPDH07tpNhNOXRa_b4fI6c1VmrnMiKW-HfNrO4TylTPTNHodxsEbgidLc4DxsJacbJL5MccjOxhTIgmD9Kuft0ZKJ88pwx00IveyePyQ2hijMjcmLvPpCpXsacL7_AwmI5sE/s320/il_430xN.115614578.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448908918961302898" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhthOJKeWC25ZXZXMX-XvteLPbHpLyoZwg4o3DBvlE8KLjAy0F1uBiyIFoA6BmmsJLGQbmTO_1zX4Pt1LMEcwfUOE1lmk6HZ2rbXm0d9yAejWGyaLHcw_VYMvflJBGSZ0zvRvZTvvkeGS0/s1600-h/il_430xN.129514082.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 308px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhthOJKeWC25ZXZXMX-XvteLPbHpLyoZwg4o3DBvlE8KLjAy0F1uBiyIFoA6BmmsJLGQbmTO_1zX4Pt1LMEcwfUOE1lmk6HZ2rbXm0d9yAejWGyaLHcw_VYMvflJBGSZ0zvRvZTvvkeGS0/s320/il_430xN.129514082.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448909064091950210" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></div>Erin Franohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07112439700179282358noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703486845330823544.post-26158922868334358892010-03-12T10:45:00.000-08:002010-03-12T11:09:39.311-08:00Save the Date!<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" >Now I know that it's been a while since my last post and I promise it's only because I've been feverishly helping brides spread the word about their big day!
