Environmentally Responsible Weddings

Weddings in general, but especially destination weddings, can have a significant environmental impact. Sad, but true. It is important to try and minimize your environmental impact, both for your own personal satisfaction and for future generations.

One way to do this is through carbon offsets or carbon credits. According to Wikipedia: “Carbon credits are a key component of national and international emissions trading schemes… There are also many companies that sell carbon credits to commercial and individual customers who are interested in lowering their carbon footprint on a voluntary basis.” Carbon credits have received some criticism lately (and there have been some scams), so it’s important to do business with a reputable firm.

Essentially it works like this – you pay a little money to a company or nonprofit group to offset some aspect of your life (your car, your household energy use, etc.). The company or nonprofit uses the money to fund projects that generate environmentally-friendly power (i.e., wind power, methane, etc.) – these are projects that aren’t likely to be built, except with the support of people like you and us. The carbon credits are relatively inexpensive and range from $2-15 per month, or $25+ per year.

We are fans of two groups offering this service. The first is a non-profit organization called CarbonFund.org. They also offer a special ZeroCarbon Wedding – an 8-ton carbon offset, for $44. This is tax deductible. The second company is Native Energy. They are for-profit company, but specialize in building new projects (and actually offer specifics on the projects they fund).

We fully appreciate that weddings are expensive and this is probably one time in your life that you don’t have extra money laying around to buy carbon credits. Doing this is important. Please consider it.

Sneak Peak - Sarah + Mark

If you haven't already noticed, I love Jean Tsai. Aside from being an uber-fashionable photographer {swoon!}, the girl just has a knack for styling wedding rings in all sorts of whimsical ways. {Remember this?}
I just couldn't resist this little AM teaser shot... I'll be back tomorrow with the whole kit and kaboodle from Sarah and Mark's wedding, but really, how cute is this?

Bhumi and Vimal

Vimal is part of the Indian percussion drum group, called Tabla Dhol, so it's only fitting that music was important in their wedding. Bhumi and Vimal had a traditional Indian wedding ceremony, which was held at the Holiday Inn Skokie.

They started outside with the Groom's procession, led by dhol drummers and all their family/friends. Inside, Bhumi made quite an entrance (see trailer). After the ceremony, the Bride's family said goodbye to them. Their reception was full of bhangra music, dancers, and performances. The night was topped off when Vimal grabbed the dhol drum and played along with bhangra tunes, mixed by the extremely talented Pardeep of Monu Creative Sounds. Enjoy this Indian wedding video trailer as it captures the more emotional parts of their day.

Portfolio: Deco-Inspired Bridal Fashion Atop the Chrysler Building

Are you ready for some epic eye candy? I've just been so excited to share this shoot with you; and am even more thrilled now that BRIDES magazine's newly designed blog, Aisle Say, has picked it up as well...
Merci New York recently worked alongside Adrienne Colosimo of Bespoke Affairs to create a Art-Deco inspired fashion shoot that speaks to the city bride. Photographed by Brian DeMello, the images represent the very first bridal fashion shoot atop the legendary Chrysler building.
About the shoot:
As young New York City based event designers and stylists, Adrienne and I both adore transforming bare spaces into luxe vignettes, and gritty city locales into posh fetes. But no project has been half as exciting or scintillating as the one we were faced with this spring.
On a Friday, we received a once in a lifetime opportunity to produce and design a jaw-dropping bridal editorial shoot atop the Chrysler building.
That next Tuesday, we made it happen - marking the first-ever bridal editorial shoot on the historic, landmark building.
As an iconic part of the New York City skyline, the Chrysler Building is a masterpiece of Art Deco architecture and one of the finest buildings in Manhattan.
Having mere hours to construct and execute our vision, we decided to pay homage to the building's design, and style the bride with an Art Deco sensibility, all while keeping the look current and obtainable.
We called on some trusted friends in the industry to help complete the look, and couldn't be more pleased with the inspiring outcome. We hope that you will enjoy the beauty and grace of our bride soaring above New York's majestic cityscape. Film Noir meets Gotham City.
