{Featured} Green Wedding Shoes - Green & Glam

The anticipation for announcing this has been grueling, but I can FINALLY share with you our exciting news!! Simply Savannah Events (my old company) & Izzy Hudgins Photography has been featured on Green Wedding Shoes! Please go check it out & leave some love! Green Wedding Shoe is the #3 wedding blog out there and average about 60K-100K visitors to their website per month! click here to see the post on Green Wedding Shoes

When Nicole and I started talking about designing a styled shoot, Nicole's first criteria was that we do something good enough to be featured on Green Wedding Shoes and sure enough we were able to get on there!!! My focus was the Eco-Friendly part plus all the flowers! I wanted to show that you can have a gorgeous wedding while still being green. Most of the décor was from recycled glass jars that we collected and painted gold + mint, plus we wanted favors that were functional and not going to create more waste so we used mint seed packets and succulents. 

Our color scheme was mint + gold, which was so fun to see all the elements come together that we made/bought to compliment this color paletteThe location for the shoot is an up-and-coming event venue in Savannah, Georgia called Southern Pine Company. It’s actually a salvage company that makes reclaimed wood furniture but they have an amazing warehouse and courtyard that can be cleared for events. The venue lent the tables and mantel for the shoot. Hope this helps inspire some couples and shows that being green doesn't have to stop you from being glam!
