The pros are returning to basics and investing in creativity this year. Unleash your own inner DIY stylista by choosing unique accents and exclusive favors from Estilo Weddings, who keep it green and eco-chic, as well as stylish and affordable.

A green wedding isn't just ecologically smart; it can be economical and inspirational as well. Consider adding your own eco-friendly touches throughout your wedding events: Engagement Parties, Bridal Showers, Organic Luncheons, Wedding Rehearsal ....

How you can throw an eco-chic wedding event:

1. The exclusive new eco-friendly Wedding Card Box designs not only combine elegance and tradition but are eco-friendly. The recycled cotton box and wrap are as sturdy as wood. The card boxes come in 2 sizes - the Standard Wedding Card Box, which holds up 200 cards, and the Mini Wedding Card Box (perfect for bridal showers), big enough to hold up to 100 cards. We can customize your Wedding Card Box with your wedding colors and flowers.

2. Save some trees and consider using recycled paper goods for invitations, announcements and stationery. This Favor Bag from Estilo Weddings is made from 100% recycled cotton fiber.

3. Use Recyclable Containers and centerpieces. These Eco-Friendly Planters are made from natural grain products and decompose in 5 years. You can also DIY your own centerpieces and source flowers from organic growers such as OrganicBouquet.com.

4. Another alternative for your usual floral centerpiece are these gorgeous Clay Flower Arrangements. They can serve both as a centerpiece and as wedding favor/eco-friendly gifts for your special guests. The clay flower cake toppers and orchid, peony and gardenia hair flowers are also stunning (recently featured on StylemePretty.com).

5. If you are using disposable products, make sure you use biodegradable products that easily decompose. Consider using these bamboo products - Bamboo Veneer Plates and Bamboo Chopsticks as a green alternative to disposable paper plates. They are both stylish and kind to the environment.

6. Send your guests home with a plant or tree seedling as a party favor. Planting a tree that will grow and symbolize your positive contribution to your community for your and your children's lifetimes is a lovely way to start your lives together.

7. Source out gifts that are made from eco-friendly sources. This Vegan Clutch is a great gift for your bridesmaids. Made of vegan leather, it's designed to look like real leather, yet is biodegradable in 10 years and comes in assorted colors.

Children are exposed to a barrage of emotions since their childhood, some of them confuse them, and some make them happy, while some sadden them. They will learn to cope with their feeling as they grow old, but it is necessary to guide their thoughts and their thinking process in the right direction, so that they don't keep wandering.

We as kids always needed our parent's attention, and affection. Similarly we should never ignore the kids and their feelings, the child should be given a chance to express his or her feelings and feel comfortable to tell their opinion.

They must not be ignored, instead given a patient ear to all their views. Unless we don't broach up the topic about the reason for a particular reaction of the kids or why they are unhappy or sad, they will not talk it out. Due to which they build a wall around themselves where through which no one can enter.

Try and give them a helping hand and be there like a pillar of support, give them the confidence that we will always be there for them come what may. Remember while allowing them to cope with their emotions, a little discussion and motivation would do wonders to their self esteem.

Have you ever seen the bonding between a mother and child? Their love is unconditional and non- demanding, it is pure and straight from the heart. A mother can do anything do see her bundle of joy happy, but this is not the case with all of us around. All we need to do is look a little more carefully and with an open heart and mind, we need to keep a broader perspective towards life, and everything around us automatically tends to be beautiful.
When we bring this unconditional love into our personal, professional, and social life, we can restore an all-new journey of life. After all accepting others with an open mind and showering our love unconditionally does not need extra efforts at all, it comes out like a stream of cool water, once it is decided.

It is a short life and to make it sweet and cherish able we must learn to appreciate every human being whether small or big and the world will be a better place to live. There is an old quote, the more we give the more we get, so, let the flowers of love bloom in our hearts and feel the fragrance spreading like a house on fire. Care, love and affection have a magical power that can transform our lives into positive energy making us believe in ourselves, feeling more satisfied and happy.

Loving does not cost money, nor is it saleable, it is purely and truly just love, the need of the hour and every persons wish. So Take Care.
