Lavender Wedding Rice Eco-Chic Wedding Favor


I have mentioned before how much I like the eco-friendly favors from Beaucoup. This is another of my favorites, Lavender Wedding Rice, meant to replace regular rice to throw at the bride and groom at the end of the wedding.

Throwing things at a newly wed couple is intended to symbolize good luck, fertility and abundance. This bag contains 100% pure lavender buds which are completely biodegradable. It won't harm birds or the environment. Guests can be given small packets of the lavender buds to throw at the bride and groom, and when everyone leaves the ceremony, they will be walking over the fragrant lavender. Another terrific eco-friendly idea from Beaucoup.

Eco-Chic Green Gift Sets for All Occasions

I just came across a website that has some really nice gift sets that could be used for several different occasions. They are all eco-friendly and come ready to go packaged very nicely. These gift sets are perfect for housewarmings, baby showers, gifts for when you stay with someone for the holidays, or just as a gift for someone's home. I really love them.

The company is Green Nest, and they specialize in what I would call Eco-Chic Green Feng Shui for home or office. They have mostly home decor items that are eco-friendly and designed to dilute the chemical, and harsh synthetics that bother people who are more sensitive. However, surrounding ourselves with healthy decor does not have to wait for when we are sick.
