2. You have the key to my heart! A fantastic vintage-style key on a delicate band to remind you who has the key to your heart from Annekiels over at Etsy.
4. Last but not least, we wanted to share with you that we will be adding a new baby chick to our family. Jocey is expecting her second baby this February!
Jessica & Nolan had wanted a fun and modern way to spread the news about their upcoming nuptials. So, they looked upon 2Chic Events & Design and Lovespun Handmade Wedding Films to create something super duper for them. After scouting for two days, 2Chic Events & Design and Lovespun Handmade Wedding Films decided the Amador Wine Country in Northern California would be the perfect backdrop for the film. With curvy abandoned country roads, and gorgeous vineyard covered hills, it was the perfect location. Especially during the scene where the couple reenacted their proposal.
I am sure that you notice that the license plate on the vintage VW has a personalized plate that was designed by Lovespun Handmade Wedding Films in Photoshop and physically installed in the car. Sometimes the simplest ideas work the best!
Video Save-the-Dates are such a fun way for couples to express their style and vibe of their upcoming wedding. With the ability to email the link or place the film on a wedding website, video Save-the-Dates are a very green alternative to traditional paper products as well as saving cost on postage. It is a very fun and engaging way to get the attention of your prospective guests.
This was so much fun to shoot! I know the couple, Jessica & Nolan, have had such a great time sharing this film with their friends and family. It is a big hit. Amiee did a great job finding this amazing VW and styling everything around it.
Thank you for featuring this super fun and cute Save the Date!
When this adorable red bug that I had envisioned in my head landed in my lap, I knew that this was going to be a fabulous shoot! Hope everyone enjoys it!
Love Love Love this Save-the-Date!!! LoveSpun Films is the best in their industry, especially in Sacramento and the San Francisco Bay Area. I am constantly looking forward to new wedding films from Jessica (@lovspunjess). The LoveSpun team is very talented and I have had the privilege to work with them on many occasions and it was an amazing experience. Great film!!!
Adorable! LoveSpun does such lovely work. I feel particularly nostalgic watching this as I had that exact same VW Beetle Convertible even the same color as my first car. Best car ever! Great job Jess!
K* I know exactly what you mean. My first car wasn’t a bug but rather a cool Navy Blue Jetta and I loved it. I have owned 3 other VWs since and I just love them. There is just something about VWs that make my heart pitter patter. Thanks for the compliments of my work. I really appreciate it!!!
of course i noticed that at the end where the license plate says “save the date” then changes to “5 28 11″, that they didnt change the reflection in the bumper to match. lol. very cute though!
Gotta love the storyline… isn’t it true, planning a wedding is quite a journey! Such a cute idea and brought together so brilliantly! Could you imagine getting this as your Save the Date? Talk about a hip 21st century bride and groom!
cute concept, but the handheld camera shaky crap is too much to handle….was the camera operator having a seizure or something? Seriously. Tripod. Monopod. Shoulder mount. Anything.
Im so happy that this has gotten featured! I hope this inspires other brides to get this kind of save the date it was an amazing experience…the whole process was just so much fun and I had the most fabulous wedding vendors working on this for us!
What an amazing idea! I would love to receive a save the date like this. Congrats to the couple in the video :) And nice work 2 Chic Events and Lovespun!

I have been eyeing the Deluxe Soda and Seltzer maker for a realllly long time! The site’s Learn and Plan sections have been a huge help to me over the past few weeks!
I really like the Green Honeymoons! I would do the volunteer one. That is such a great idea and to be able to actually have it planned is fabulouse!! Makes for a VERY memmorible time with your new spouse.
I love the planning tools for a green wedding. It is easy to decide you want a green wedding but far more difficult to execute it. The Green Bride Guide makes it easy to celebrate in green style!
i am IN LOVE with the wildflower wedding album and guest book set!! its just perfect for our outdoor springtime wedding..also the aromatherapy candle set would make a great mother in law gift :)
I loved the feature…gowns for a cause! What a great idea this is. Allowing brides to purchase their dream dress at a low cost. Many of us want that amazing dress but sometimes money gets in the way. Plus, while allowing brides to find their dream dress at a low price they are also helping a great cause! Amazing! The whole website is just inspirational. Love it.
WOW! What a great giveaway! I am a HUGE fan of Grren Bride guide and my favorite product from their store is the Bluebird of Happiness Nesting Bowls. They are so unique and I absolutely LOVE the vibrant colors.
I am closing on a house this next coming week and it would be great to do some shopping on this site. I really enjoyed the green cleaning products, and the rain barrels.
My favorite feature of the site is definitely the general concept of it. I’m all about going green and saving the environment. Green Bride Guide provides comprehensive inspirations on eco-friendly weddings that I can’t ask for more :)
I love all the inspirational ideas on the website! As if it was not good enough that we are helping our planet, you are also able to have a beyond beautiful wedding, home & life!
I just love Granny’s Best Throw. My fiance and I are planning an eco-friendly wedding and love the Green Bride Guide site. Thanks for such a great giveaway.
I am loving the Get Inspired feature on the website! All the Fall-wedding tips rock. Thanks so much for sharing! I sure hope I win, but if not at least you led us the this amazing site!
I really love the organic flannel bed set and sheets. I really feel that you should use something that feels good and is good for the environment when you buy something that you use so often.
I’m planning a garden wedding in Savannah and a reception at an historical inn, and trying my best to make very green choices. I also have an eco-minded blog, and love to share my tips and ideas for greener living!
I’m planning a garden wedding in Savannah and a reception at an historical inn, and trying my best to make very green choices. I love all of the baking items for sale that are eco-friendly, since I’m baking all of my wedding cupcakes!
What a great giveaway! I would go for the Organic Herb Garden for sure — I’ve been wanting to plant my own for some time, and stop wasting so many fresh herbs from the store that don’t get used. Thanks, Chicks and Green Bride!
I really like their “local vendor search” feature because I’m still in the early stages of my wedding planning and I like seeing all the different green vendor options I have in my area to check out!
I really like the selection of eco-friendly baking pans. I could definitely put the Bread Loaf pans to good use. And, I love that they are made from a safer material.
Oh my goodness, I must have the Popcorn Magic! I’ve been obsessed lately with making fresh popcorn in a high-walled skillet, but this is a cool ceramic thing you can use in the microwave, oven, or stove. Sold!
I didn’t even consider that the bleaching in wedding gowns could hurt the environment! Their “Learn” page was really informative without being abrasive. Keep up the good work!
One of my future husband & I’s goals is to phase out the last of our non-green cleaning supplies and switch over to all homemade/natural solutions, so I’m in love with the eco-friendly cleaners section! Especially this: http://greenbrideguide.com/product/lemon-essence-bathroom-kit
This is a very important caveat:
“You should expect to pay, on average, 50% to 100%+ more [than average] when choosing well-experienced professionals, designer labels, popular event locations, unique or custom products and services”.
I like all the resources and inspiration they have on the website – specifically, the eco-honeymoon options, and the showcase of real green weddings that you can draw inspiration from.
The potter’s mixing & serving set in the shop isn’t too bad, either. ;)

We are suckers for anything hand made. There is something incredibly special about weddings with beautiful details that are put together with a little bit of inspiration and a whole lot of love. So, when Katie Lewis Photography, Inc. and some talented Fargo, North Dakota wedding vendors gathered together to show brides and grooms how to make their barn yard wedding extra special we jumped on it. Most everything you see here was put together by Katie.
Katie did an over the top job arranging the adorable flowers in vintage mason jars which is always a crowd pleaser. She called on her Grandmother to whip up some homemade pies (apple, cherry & lemon meringue) and the individual pies-in-a-jar (strawberry) were all made with love by her Granny. Thanks to her mom for providing the silverware and china. Just a great example that you can get a little help from your friends and family to pull off something incredible.
Finally had the privilege to work with Katie Lewis a couple of weeks ago…i am a wedding decorator & we did this amazing wedding @ the zoo, under a tent….Katie’s photography is magical, artistic, unique & stunning…all of this & she is so young, she obviously has the soul of a much older & wiser person….simply…she rocks.

Handmade decorations are SO personal and cost effective at a wedding! Too often weddings can be so cookie cutter. I love the eye that Katie has to put together such a remarkable (untradition) wedding shoot. Wow!
Awesome pictures!! Looks like a beautiful wedding! What type of flower is that large pale yellow flower!? I’m going crazy trying to figure it out!! Any help ladies!?
@Jennifer – That large flower is actually a type of peony. I had never seen a peony like that before but that is what the florist told me when I picked it up!
