I love this candle. It burns evenly and completely with a very pleasant fragrance. These soy wax candles with natural fragrance oils are each hand poured in the U.S.A. Bows and labels are all applied by hand. I bought the Pomegranate and Current fragrance, no. 81. Truly delightful! With 45 hours of enjoyable burn time, you have plenty of time to see what I mean.

“From soy-based inks, to hemp twine, to recycled paper, this collection is committed to conserving our planet’s resources. The chlorine free paper pulp box is biodegradable in 3-6 months and is wrapped with a 100% post-industrial recycled paper label awarded FSC-certification. The FSC’s mission is to ‘promote environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable management of the world’s forests.”
The candle comes in clear 5.5 oz glass and is white. The box is fashioned as a plant container and the company encourages you to recycle by filling with soil, seeds, to cultivate indoors and then outdoors in spring.

Although this is a day to enjoy the finer things in life while rejoicing your love, that doesn’t mean you can’t be a little more friendly to mother Earth during the festivities. With brides and grooms the world over expressing interest in decreasing their carbon footprints, wedding based businesses are stepping up to the plate. Venues are offering “green” wedding packages. Dress designers are creating eco-friendly gowns with organic materials. Stationary shops are using recycled paper with soy based ink for invitations and save-the-dates. These are just a few green wedding ideas, and there are tons more to take into consideration!

Whether you have a small intimate wedding or a 400 person soiree, you now have options if you want to make less of an impact on our planet on your big day. If you are planning a wedding in the future, keep these things in mind…there are tons of resources, and tons of choices!
