A Green, Vintage Sweetheart Ceremony featuring Sarah Elizabeth & Jason – Green Hope Productions

By

GREEN HOPE PRODUCTIONS & THE REVERIE TREE
On Saturday, March 24, we threw a Green, Hemp, Mock, Vintage Wedding with dear friends- Photographers Kat Evans & Alex OKieff of The Reverie Tree. Thirty friends traveled atleast half an hour to our off the beaten path destination along Wilmington’s Cape Fear River. The Spanish Moss hung from ancient Water Oaks as they danced slowly in the warm breeze of the southern afternoon to welcome our guests.

Wearing their favorite vintage thrift shop treasures, friends arrived carrying homemade potluck meals and an old wooden chair. The natural setting, far from the traffic and the towns, made it easier to wander back into all the romance and nostalgia of the 1930’s & 1940’s.

Kat & I had decided to throw the Green, Hemp, Mock Vintage Wedding in order to attract like-hearted couples as we updated our portfolios. Dear friends Sarah Elizabeth & Jason came on board as our couple. They were moving away, so it was a very special way to wish our friends Bon Voyage! as they sailed off from our Port City on their new adventures together.

WE LOVE OUR VENDOR FRIENDS!
Kat & I loved the idea of collaborating with local vendors and helping to promote their businesses. The more, the merrier. We spent our days off traveling around Wilmington meeting with vendors who were mostly local, women small business owners, and we invited them to join us by donating their time, services or goods. Now we know- it takes a village to put on a wedding! We certainly sympathize with brides on all that goes into to planning a wedding! Kat & I definitely recommend hiring a wedding planner!!!

GINORMOUS THANKS to all the wonderful local vendors who joined us on our adventure! If you’re tying the knot in the Wilmington area, we can’t say enough nice things about all our new friends! We highly recommend their services!

OTHER FAVORITE VENDORS:
So here’s to the Green Hope of Hemp – and Hemp Traders where we found the perfect Organic, Hemp linen to create our hemp runner & hemp napkins. Here’s to The Tidal Creek Co-Op for carrying sustainable, biodegradable, disposable paper, plates, cups & silverware. And we love The Shops of Seagate for their affordably priced coastal, vintage treasures. I found many of my favorite treasures there! And if you’re looking for a long, weathered, wooden table for your vintage wedding—it’s a small investment in future gatherings in your new backyard, and a sweet momento to your love. Contact Mike at Mossy’s Most Wanted to build one just for you.

Vimeo is a video sharing platform that was launched in 2004 by a group of filmmakers. Since then, the platform has grown exponentially with most users being creators and artists in film, animation, music and other works of art who use Vimeo as a way to share and promote their work. Because Vimeo is regarded as more of a professional network of artists, the community is much more appreciative of the content that gets shared there, resulting in kinder and more useful discussions compared to YouTube.
