Going "green" is such a welcomed trend, and one I feel I have been incorporating into weddings more and more in the past year.
Is this a trend or is it now a way of life?
"Going Green" has become somewhat of a social responsibility, but what about the rest of us *divas* who want to do the right thing, but still have a desire to maintain our sense of style and personality?

Enhancements like invitations made from completely recycled paper, real leaves and stones for escort cards were creatively fabricated by Amy Morelli with 2u Collection. Additional research of her own revealed that many of her paper sources were Operation Green themselves; how gratifying!
Our specific time on the 21st has yet to be determined, but you can email me for updates-
Until then, this is what a team effort looks like after an extensive (and environmentally friendly!) television shoot.
