Totally Green "Porange Wedding"


Just because you want to be environmentally friendly doesn't mean you have to literally go "green". With a little creativity you can still be yourself and have a truly unique wedding invitation.


Haley and Joe wanted an invitation that communicated who they were. In addition, they felt very strongly that their wedding left a small carbon footprint.



What is Porange anyway? Porange is the awesome combination of bright pink and orange used for this untraditional couple for their very untraditional wedding.

First, we started with a Save the Date. Save the Date's are best when they are fun and lighthearted. "Save the Formality" for the invitiation. The photo was the centerpiece of this Save the Date and was a magnet that pulled of the card. It was simple but fun and really set the tone. The size was determined to fit envelopes that the bride already had purchased.



When it came to the invitation itself, this couple felt very strongly about being as green as possible. We used tree-free mulberry for the enclosure, and 100% recycled for the main invite body. The envelopes were made from hemp and the bride chose to have a completely online response.
