The winner of this giveaway is vonbunny.  Congratulations!

With the green-seal of the royal wedding, we're certain that contemporary brides will find more and more unique ways to make their day eco-friendly!  The creators of the company- Bag the Habit- have one idea that we just love. Their 100% recycled mesh reusable produce bags can be filled with fresh fruit and bundled up in a cute bow and tag to make a colorful, thoughtful favor. It's sure to be a gift guests will adore (and use again)!

 

Green Favor Giveaway

We've teamed up with the eco-savvy women behind Bag the Habit to send one Project Wedding reader off with 50 reusable produce bags (a $212 value).  What's great about giving a bagful of fresh, local produce is that you can send one home with each couple or family. Voilá - simple, easy, and totally eco-chic! 

 

Fruits of the Season

Bag the Habit suggests filling the bags with:

Fruit from a local orchard for spring

Heirloom produce for summer weddings

Harvest vegetables for fall weddings

...And exotic citrus for winter weddings. 

The bags can be purchased in bulk to keep your favors cost-effective.  After the big day is over, your guests have an easy way to stay green when they grocery shop!

Enter to win these eco-chic goody bags by leaving us a note below, telling us a creative thing or two you're doing to green your wedding.  Enter before 12pm PST on Monday, May 9, 2011 for your chance.  Official Rules.

We are having a very small wedding (only us and our parents), to keep families from flying across the country.  Then, we'll have parties in each of our hometowns.  We get 3 parties, but we save on pollution and guests' costs!

We're making jams with local Central Texas fruit, and working with local businesses and caterers to focus on local grown food for the weekend. Our decorations are made of recycled materials - jars, newspapers, etc. We're excited to keep our family value of sustainability and green products alive in the wedding process.

The most "green" element of our wedding is buying a used wedding dress and allowing the wedding party to wear dresses and suits that they already own!
