Miss Poodle's Picture
Miss Poodle, Santiago, Chile/San Bernardino, CA Age and Occupation: 27, Industrial & Web Designer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 24, Firefighter & Mountain Patrol Engagement Date: February 25, 2009 Wedding Date: January 2010 Venue: Mr. P's Grandparents’ Ranch About Me: I’m a Chilean girl who's crazy about nature and swimming. I enjoy carving, drawing, reading and sewing; I drool over computers, fabric, pretty paper, purple and patterns. To me, chocolate should be one of the seven wonders, right next to lemon pie. I never thought an exchange work experience program was going to change my life forever, but while working in California, I met Mr. Poodle, and ever since my days are better and brighter. We are two goofy souls that, after finding each other, couldn’t help but want to be together forever. It has being a long and sometimes hard road, since we have to deal with such a long distance between us, but we are now facing the last stage of our Fiancé Visa, and soon we will be together. You know the best part? We will be married! So I’ll be blogging from Chile until just a few months before our “green and purple” wedding.

Button That Up!

August 13th, 2009 @ 10:26 am by Miss Poodle

Ever since I was a little girl I have been in love with buttons. I don’t know what it is about them that makes me want them, especially if they are cute little pins.

I saw the wedding as the perfect excuse to start a “buttons project”. Here are the images that make me want to make tons of them.

Choosing a Green Event Space

July 29th, 2008 @ 12:46 pm by Mrs. Pinot Noir

Mr. Pinot Noir and I first set foot in our event space in July 2006. We had gone to San Francisco to visit his father, and we spent a day doing wine tastings and lunch in Napa. We had lunch on the deck at Auberge du Soleil overlooking the gorgeous vineyards below. There was a wedding rehearsal going on during our lunch, and we talked…

About Mrs. Pinot Noir

One of the biggest pieces of green wedding advice that I have read, is to reduce the amount of travel (especially air travel) due to its impact on the environment.

No Planes!

As you have probably figured out, this is a piece of green advice that we did not follow. We are having a destination wedding and 55 of the 60 guests will need to fly to…

When I’m not obsessing about our wedding I play the cello in my band (which Mr. Radish is in too), read as much as I can, sleep even more, travel whenever possible, and try to find time to have fun with my friends. I’m also working on finishing up my journalism degree with a concentration in environmental reporting and I’m the VP of my campus Amnesty International chapter… so I’m a pretty busy bee.

There has been a lot of talk about green weddings lately and it can almost start to sound like just another passing wedding fad. But unlike powder blue tuxedos, this is a wedding trend worth keeping around!

My Five Favorite Green Wedding Ideas

July 6th, 2007 @ 4:43 pm by Guest

Hi everyone, I’m Rhonda from Our Wedding Plus Blog. I’m honored to have this opportunity to guest blog on Weddingbee on such an important topic!

Having a “Green Wedding” may seem like the latest fad but in fact it is quickly becoming a necessity.  Global warming is expected to give us some major problems in the next 40 years and weddings can be a big drain…

Green Is the New White

July 3rd, 2007 @ 4:35 pm by Mrs. Radish

One of the first things that Mr. Radish and I decided after our engagement is that we would do our very best to have an environmentally sustainable wedding. Weddings are such a big business now. With wedding industry pulling in a whopping over $125-billion per year, and with the average American wedding costing nearly $30,000, we figure that this is a great opportunity for us…

A Green Honeymoon

May 30th, 2007 @ 9:27 am by Mrs. Lovebug

If someone used the phrase “eco-friendly honeymoon”, what would you picture? Would it be this?:

(Hotel Sacher, Strasbourg)

Well, now it could be. Leading Hotels of the World (LHW) has teamed with Sustainable Travel International to take the great green guilt out of globe-trotting. Leading Green Initiative helps the environmentally-conscious find luxury hotels participating in a “carbon-dioxide offset” program.

“Let The Tree Hug You”

April 16th, 2007 @ 12:00 pm by Mrs. Lime

he* Mr. Lime likes to call me a treehugger (by his standards, that is), so this tagline of Simply Wood Rings tickled me. These unique rings are good for people that have metal allergies (one of my bridesmaids can’t even wear platinum) and for the eco-conscious.

Simple designs

How “Green” Will Your Wedding Be?

March 9th, 2007 @ 1:55 pm by Mrs. Beetle

“Green” weddings seem to be all the rage right now. Not literally green, of course, but environmentally green.

The New York Times recently published a story that discusses all of the “green” options for couples out there. It seems many brides and grooms are really embracing the idea of getting hitched responsibly. In fact, they highlighted a wedding planning website called Portovert for eco-conscious brides and…
