Sonja and Joe got married on a warm November evening in Southern California in 2009. They used seeded paper for their stationary, which was “the thing” for green weddings of that time. When planted into the garden it often does not grow, (I had to try it) but still it’s cute gesture. I learned that paper doesn’t have to made from cut down trees, it can be produced from almost any fiber, from rags to elephant poo… pretty amazing.

Sonja went for vibrant green and orange. Her inspiration: the orange almond sweets from her home country Brazil and the lush green jungles around her home.
