- a beautiful white and cream heart with ribbon (pictured) by Deborah Miarkowska (of EcoChic)
- a cute Heartfelt name tag by Desiree Botterill

The human touch
We're always keen to hear your real wedding stories - we know how useful and reassuring they are for brides and grooms in the midst of wedding planning chaos!
But we've realised that we're a bit short on couples who've had a Humanist wedding ceremony.
Humanist Celebrant, Tim Maguire wrote us a great post on Humanist ceremonies and why you might choose one; if this inspires you to look into Humanist ceremonies or to tell your own story, do get in touch or share your thoughts in the Ethical Weddings Forum.
The Great Big Green Wedding Fayre
And finally, this year sees not one but two wedding shows for the ethically-aware couple.
After our own Eco Chic Wedding & Home Show back in March, The Great Big Green Wedding Fayre is brought to you by Jemma Herbert and Amanda Barr of eco conscious stationery company, GreenLeaf Press.
Taking place on 5-6 September at the Crosby Hall Educational Centre in Little Crosby, near Liverpool, the weekend promises to be packed full of eco exhibitors, inspiring workshops, and tasty treats!
Read more about The Great Big Green Wedding Fayre.
And that's all we've got time for!
Next month we'll be introducing you to new experts, new bloggers, and a new campaign.
See you then!
