People who know me are shaking their heads at my excitement for this latest venture that I am associated with. I am really speechless because of the opportunity and can not quite find the appropriate words to express just how thrilled I am to be a part of the second edition of the Eco-Beautiful Weddings e-magazine. I'm so thrilled in fact, I allowed myself the liberty to include uppercase letters on my blog for the first time in a long time..
This e-magazine is produced by Katie Martin creator of Elegance & Simplicity, Inc. & Eco-Beautiful Weddings. What does "e-magazine" mean? Well to me (and don't get it twisted..I'm really no expert on the subject nor do I claim to be) it means that it is a virtual, on-line and (in this case) a bridal magazine thus making it "Eco-friendly" because it is not printed. It does not come to your home and take up space on your pile of magazines to "throw away" or take to the recycle-bin (although technically that would be "eco-friendly", the recycle part) BUT not everyone recycles...ah-ha!! This is super special in these days when most people spend (I know there is a statistic on this.. but I'll pull something remote out of my head and say...) 48% of their day on computers. It makes so much sense, really. Brides are shopping, looking, researching and booking on-line at an ever increasing rate, so this Eco-beautiful Wedding e-magazine is simply perfect. Paring the e-magazine concept with the Eco-Beautiful Wedding website is a marriage (no pun intended) made in heaven for the eco-conscious, savvy, sophisticated bride.
The whole team of individuals that made the shoot possible were a joy to work with and super fun. Robin Fisher of Polished Image and Style pulled together the most beautiful looks for the shoot with the gorgeous wedding dresses from Elizabeth St. John , David Morley of Zinnia Films shot the video and put together this awesome clip that I can't stop watching. The talented Carla created glamorizing hairstyles on the ever beautiful Persephone, the model of the day, and Jeff Enriquez from InnerBeauty, Inc. rounded out the team with flawless makeup.
The magazine comes out on Monday so stay tuned.. I'll have a link here and if you listen very carefully Monday morning I think you may be able to hear me scream.. In the meantime watch the clip below..
There is one surprise I have not mentioned here.. Come back on Monday and I will fill you in!!
