Wedding centerpieces: A greener alternative to glass vases

by ecomodish, 1/27/2010

Blumebox Photographed by Christina Carroll

I recently was introduced to Blumebox on twitter and and wanted to share their unique alternative to glass vases that are perfect for wedding reception flower arrangements.

Blumebox offers a greener option to the ususal glass vase that will reflect your personal style, complement your flowers and is environmentally friendly. Their green design allows the blumebox to be shipped and stored flat, easily snapped together for assembly, and folded back down to be stored between uses. And the eco friendly materials used to make the blumeboxes is 100% recyclable.

Blumeboxes come in 16 colors and 4 different shapes/sizes making them perfect for green-ing weddings, baby showers, birthday parties, everyday bouquets and even your houseplants. The 4" cube is a great option for traditional wedding centerpieces as well as living plant centerpieces. The 6" blumebox is the perfect height for below eye-level centerpieces. The 8" blumebox makes a stylish holder for bridesmaid and bridal bouquets at the reception. And blumebuds double as place card holders / bud vases.

And if you are the DIY type, blumebox also offers coordinating ribbons and boas to spice things up. Check out their blog for fun, creative design ideas.

The blume box featured above was used in a real wedding - check out the amazing photos by photogrpaher Christina Carroll.

Join Ecomodish and we'll plant a tree in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil!

by ecomodish, 12/29/2009

UPDATE! We have decided to continue to plant a tree for every account that is created on ecomodish - so sign up today!

Please help Ecomodish come closer to reaching our goal of planting 1,000 trees in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil this year. You can work your way towards planting trees by becoming active on ecomodish.com and earning ecoPoints. For every 100 ecoPoints you earn, Ecomodish will plant one tree through the The Nature Conservancy's Plant a Billion Trees program. To earn ecoPoints - all you have to do is create an account on ecomodish.com, invite your friends and write reviews.

And for a limited time - for every person who creates an account on ecomodish between now and January 1, 2010, we will plant one tree, just for joining.

The Atlantic Forest in Brazil is considered one of the world's most endangered tropical forests, with only 7% of its original area remaining. Tropical forests play a special role in the global climate change fight. By planting 1 tree in the tropics, about 1 ton of CO2 will be taken out of the atmosphere over the course of the tree’s life. The Plant a Billion Trees in The Atlantic Forest reforestation effort will remove 10 million tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere every year. That's equivalent to taking 2 million cars off the road.

Please join Ecomodish today, invite your friends and spread the word!
