Going Green for Your Wedding

January 11, 2008 | editorial team

Going green is a huge topic in the world today, so naturally the trends in wedding planning are following suit. We’re really excited here at Junebug because we’re seeing more and more of the talented professionals we work with adopting eco-friendly practices and ensuring that green wedding planning is not just a trend, but a lifestyle that’s here to stay! Just this week we were interviewed by KIRO News Radio for a segment about green weddings (fun!) and we received an overwhelming response from our Junebug professionals when we reached out to them for their input. From caterers to invitation designers, dress designers, and florists, everyone is finding their own way to get involved and make “going green” easy and fun. Look for our downloadable article “10 Easy Ways to Plan a Green Wedding” next week, and until then enjoy this idea for a fun green wedding favor or thank you gift possibility…

Cute reusable bags by Flip and Tumble! These bags come in great color combinations, for those of us who like to coordinate. Made of  recyclable ripstop nylon, you can roll yours up into a tiny ball so you can take it with you and always have a reusable bag at the ready. I learned about these eco-chic bags from Junebug reader Eva, who had hers custom printed to give away as a gift at her wedding. What a great idea, thanks Eva!

Wedding Images from GH Kim Photography

January 9, 2008 | editorial team

Today we get to see the favorite photos of 2007 from the wonderful (and adorable) couple Grace and Hun of GH Kim Photography. GH Kim is a new addition to our Junebug Weddings photography hotlist, and already many of their images are my new favorites! You can see more of their work in their web brochure, and in our Best of 2007 Fashion Report. And don’t forget, the Junebug photographers love to travel, so even if you’re not planning a Seattle area wedding, it’s still easy to work with one of these amazing artists!

1. “A different take on details shots, it was caught through one of the hanging crystal drops.”

 

2. “Something about how this couple was so into each other resembled that of a romance movie. This image is just a little window into their own little world as all the post-ceremony action surrounded them.”

 

3. “Voted ‘Best Dress of 2007’ by us: From hundreds and hundreds of dresses, this one stands out from the rest. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s not another strapless? Maybe it’s the fact that Nancy looks like she belongs on the Amsale runway? Well whatever the reason, it exudes modern sophistication!”

 

4. “A unique portrait for a unique groom. Who would’ve thought that a bathtub could look so cool?”

Wedding Images from John and Joseph Photography

January 7, 2008 | editorial team

Today we are lucky, lucky, lucky to get to see the favorite images of the year from John and Joey Hong of John and Joseph Photography. Two amazingly talented photographers, and wonderful people, I always love to see what cool things they’ve been up to. John even sent a photo he took of his own new wife while playing on the beach during a honeymoon photo shoot. How sweet! No wonder it’s one of his very favorites! Thanks guys!

1. “Photographed on one of the most popular wedding dates of the century: 7-7-07. The wedding ceremony was held at 7:00pm and the temperature at the location was 77 degrees! The image really speaks for itself… one can feel the love between the Bride and Groom, as well as the Grooms son and daughter. The ceremony was held at the Salish Lodge and Spa.”

2. “An amazing moment after the get-away from the wedding location. The sky, Bride, and Groom were all beautiful. The Bride and Groom were also one of the coolest and sweetest couples we have ever had the pleasure to photograph.”

 

3. “Words can not describe the simple beauty of this moment. The Bride and Groom were just introduced into their reception at the Newcastle Golf Club. Like a perfect gentlemen, the Groom sat his wife down and gave her a gentle kiss.”

 

4. “I had my own wedding this year, and I wanted to find a way to photograph my own bride. So we took her wedding dress on our honeymoon, and photographed her on Fiji Islands. The entire image is composed of textures – Jane’s veil, her dress, the gentle tide, the sand, water, and sky. They all interact in a beautiful way that only this photograph can describe.”
