Etsy is an online emporium of handmade arts and crafts that has a remarkable array of creative things for sale. They just published an essay I wrote on DIY wedding flowers and tips on going organic and local when purchasing wedding flowers.

Also, for Etsy, the City Dirt Store
makes hand stamped "Just Married" packets with wildflower seeds to toss at the bride and groom. The flower seeds are mixed to attract butterflies and hummingbirds.

A pull quote:

Nobody wants to think of herself as a Bridezilla, but all the details can be daunting -- especially if you're someone who considers her or himself eco-sensitive. Are your wedding flowers filled with pesticides that are polluting the rivers and exploiting workers in Colombia? Does rice thrown for good luck really explode in the stomachs of songbirds? Ahhh, the horror of unintended consequences. Etsy has asked me to make these details a little easier. And since you're here, reading this, I'm assuming you like things creative and a little funky, so let's make this wedding planning fun.
