Eco-Conscious Wedding Planners Spur New Plantable Peacock Wedding Stationery Suite from Seed Paper Company Botanical PaperWorks.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

March 16, 2011 - For more than 13 years, Botanical PaperWorks has been manufacturing and designing stationery using their eco-friendly seed paper, that grows when planted. While being eco-friendly is no longer a trend so much as a global way of life, stationery design and trends are ever-changing. For this reason, the company is proud to announce the newest edition to their ever-growing catalog of unique and stylish wedding components, the plantable Peacock Wedding Stationery Suite.

"Wedding trends as of late are very organic", said Botanical PaperWorks president, Heidi Reimer-Epp, "Vintage looks and feather accents have become a large part of a growing number of wedding days. Everything from rustic bouquets and venues right down to whimsically-styled photography. I feel that this stationery set will beautifully complement any wedding though, in both its look and eco-friendly, plantable function."

The Peacock Wedding Stationery Suite has been designed using a variety of this year's most sought-after color combinations: Green and Blue, Mustard and Gold, and Honeysuckle and Slate. Couples can choose the color combination of their choice, and input all the information to be printed conveniently on the Botanical PaperWorks online store. The seed paper products, when planted in soil, will then grow into a blooming memento of their Wedding Day. Elegant and designed with flair, these feathery wedding cards and favors are made from post-consumer waste so they leave nothing behind.

These carefully handmade seed paper stationery pieces are embedded with only the best high-grade North American seeds and bloom wildflowers such as Catchfly, Black Eyed Susan, and Sweet Alyssum. "The goal in creating these products," says Heidi, "Is that couples will easily find a stylish solution for their wedding, simplifying a task that's often been perceived as daunting, but also tends to set the tone for the day as well. Their wedding guests will appreciate the eco-friendly gesture, as well as being invited to share in the Big Day and will love the gift of flowers that they're given at the same time."

3 Tips for Choosing Your Wedding Invitations August 14, 2010

If you're planning a wedding for next year, it's time to start planning your wedding invitations. And with so many other wedding details to look after, how do you ensure that the wedding invitations are prepared and sent with perfection? Here, from the desk of stationery guru Heidi Reimer-Epp, are Three Easy Tips for Choosing Wedding Invitations.

1. Understand the wedding theme

Country chic or urban flair? Bright multicolor or elegant creams? When it comes to choosing your wedding invitations, it helps to know what direction you'll be taking the wedding theme. You don't want to invite guests to an elegant hotel wedding and reception with a Precious Moments wedding invitation. Likewise, if you're having a country hoe-down wedding, it would be fun to have country-themed wedding invitations. So, take some time to sketch out the general theme and feel of the wedding, then use this for inspiration when choosing wedding invitations.

2. Start looking early

It's tempting to think that choosing wedding invitations is a quick matter. Go to your favorite stationery store, peruse the books, choose an invitation, right? Not so simple. Once you start looking, you'll find that the styles and possibilities are endless, as are the prices and production turnaround times. My best advice is to start looking early, in order to avoid the "Must decide today no matter what" panic that can set in without enough time. You want this to be a good decision, not a snap decision.

3. Involve the stakeholders

Ask yourself "Who needs to be involved in choosing the wedding invitation"?. With each wedding, the stakeholders are different. Sometimes, it's the bride and her mother. Other times, it's the parents who are paying for the wedding. And with some couples, the bride and groom are in charge. Whatever your particular situation, understand who needs approval BEFORE putting down a deposit. Having everyone give their OK upfront will save you time and money, and avoid the frustrating feeling of having been vetoed on your invitation choice.

Follow these three easy steps for a successful and stress-free experience choosing wedding invitations. Best wishes!
