Mrs. Pinot Noir, New York/Napa Valley Age and Occupation: 24, Health Educator Fiance's Age and Occupation: 31, Market Researcher Engagement Date: November 10, 2007 Wedding Date: October, 2008 Blogging Since: June 25, 2008 Venue: Auberge du Soleil About Me: I am a Minnesota raised, NYC transplant planning a destination wedding in Napa. I'm balancing my love for the environment and my hubby-to-be's love for tradition to create our "green wedding in disguise." Our wedding will include local food and wine, antique touches and lots of love and laughter. When wedding planning isn't taking up my free time (and money) I love to read, cook, workout, watch baseball and travel! Follow along in my adventure as I attempt to plan an eco-friendly and socially responsible wedding (with eco-oblivious Mr. Pinot Noir).

When Mr. Pinot Noir and I went to the Fairfield County Irish Festival to find his wedding ring, we also bought our ring “box” from Celtic Revival. Instead of a pillow, our ringbearer will carry this beautiful hand-carved wood box. This way we can keep the box after the wedding as a special and useful memento, which makes it an ecofriendly choice too!The square box is 3.5″ x 3.5″ x 2″.

How will you transport your rings down the aisle? Will you use a Paloma’s Nest Tiny Text Bowl like Mrs. Tiramisu? A bird’s nest like Mrs. Radish? A transformer like Miss Green Tea? A teddy bear like Mrs. Emerald?

I’m doing a bird’s nest to go with our lovebird theme.

We’re using our bestman’s pocket. (as in we’re not having a ring bearer :p )

we just had the bestman pocket them, but I really like your box! I just really like nice small boxes and tins, and sort of collect them.

I love that you are buying from Celtic Revival! My wedding band is coming from them.

We’re using a round alabaster box from Pier 1. I can’t wait to see how pretty our rings will be in there!

Ooh, I really love that ring box idea! My father is a very talented woodworker, so I may just steal this, although replacing the lovely celtic design with our initials and wedding date.

my husband is from hawaii so we used a box very similar to yours — a koa wood box with a hawaiian quilt pattern carved on the lid. i now use it to keep my rings when i’m not wearing them.
