Do you want to include the beach, the mountains, or the gardens in your wedding ceremony? They can become a real character in your love story!

New Jersey has it all! So let's talk about how you can "go natural." This week we're covering nature-inspired readings (Thoreau, Mary Oliver), unity rituals like tossing shells into the shoreline, and even food ( because a Jersey Shore food station counts as bringing nature to the table too, wherever your actual venue happens to be)!

Join the conversation — we love your questions, comments, and requests! We also love guests: past brides, grooms, vendors, and venues, contact us! We offer host-read advertisements as well — contact us for more information.
