Analogue Chic

As promised, my synopsis of the EcoChic Wedding and Home Show, hosted by CT Green Scene and the Green Bride Guide.

First of all, we were blessed with a gorgeous sunny day, after many days of rain.  The expo was held at the Hotel Chesterfield in Stamford, a beautiful mansion with a lovely lawn – and they had the nicest bathroom I have ever seen in my life.

We sampled some really delicious food from Nature’s Temptations and Health in a Hurry, and talked with different exhibitors.

We left before the wedding fashion show, but you can check out the designers, here.

My highlights:

• Custom Floral of Storrs, CT, who will source local, organic, in season flowers upon request. 
• jag studios of New Haven, CT, really awesome candid wedding photography with an environmentally conscious studio.
• Nana Pearl’s Wooden Spoon of New York, offering organic cakes.
• Ruff&Cut of New York, jewelry using conflict free, un-polished diamonds, and recycled metals.
• Green Spot Jewelry of Boston, Mass.,  custom environmentally friendly jewelry, using recycled metals.
• Priti Polish of NYC, non-toxic nail polish.
• Practically Green of Ridgefield, CT (we’re neighbors!), eco-friendly lifestyle products.

You can get all the exhibitors’ info and pictures at the expo site.
