In her new book The Natural Wedding: Ideas and Inspirations for a Stylish and Green Celebration Louise Moon shows couples how to "green" their wedding day. From thoughtful features that focus on organic and locally grown food for the reception to imaginative solutions that will make the entire event as low impact as possible, The Natural Wedding has great advice green couples need to make their big day naturally romantic, eco-conscientious, and stylishly sustainable. The Natural Wedding: Ideas and Inspirations for a Stylish and Green Celebration demonstrates that green weddings can be more stylish than a traditional wedding with a little bit of thoughtfulness and green planning. All aspects of greening the wedding day are covered: natural beauty, tasty menus, the perfect location, eco-invitations, gorgeously green wedding attire, beautiful flowers, a perfect ceremony, the eco-reception, green gifts, even after the wedding Louise gives advice for greening the honeymoon and living an eco life after the honeymoon is over because being green doesn't stop at "I do". Louise focuses on four main styles for natural-weddings: vintage, eco-chic, seasonal, and DIY (do it yourself). She takes these four style ideas and applies them to every area of the green wedding. You can mix and match to create your perfect day or follow her guidelines for one main theme to run throughout your eco-event. Vintage obviously focuses on styles from bygone eras from the reused vintage gown to heirloom jewelry. Vintage styles are for the bride and groom who love antiques and simple elegance. Eco-chic is for the modern couple who loves to be green while following the newest styles and trends. Eco-chic stylings focus on green wedding gowns made from eco-fabrics, ethically sourced jewelry, and gourmet organic menus.

| Stolen jewelry returned to Riverview woman - msnbc.com Posted: 07 Oct 2010 01:41 PM PDT TAMPA — After first balking, a pawnshop has handed over $15,000 in jewelry authorities say was stolen from a 77-year-old hospice patient. Trudy Eastman's engagement and wedding rings from the 1950s, as well as other items, were "I'm just so thankful I'm getting it back," she said. "So much of it was more sentimental value than anything. I'm thrilled." Value Pawn & Jewelry of Seffner had wanted Eastman to pay $2,100 to retrieve her possessions. She said she couldn't afford that. The business agreed today to return the items for free, although it might seek restitution from the suspect, investigators said. Deputies said there's no indication the pawnshop knew the items were stolen; the store initially wasn't aware Eastman is a hospice patient. "From what I understand, the public was incensed that I would have to buy it back, and I'm glad [pawnshop employees] listened to the public and I thank them too," Eastman said. Jason B. Russell, 27, was arrested Wednesday on 17 felony charges after investigators said they identified five more theft victims. He initially was arrested two weeks ago in the theft of jewelry from a 92-year-old terminally ill widow. Russell was hired by LifePath Hospice in February and delivered equipment to patients, including oxygen tanks to Eastman. Over 2 1/2 months, Russell targeted homes in Valrico, Thonotosassa, Riverview, Brandon and Sun City Center, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said. The stolen jewelry includes watches, rings, necklaces, earrings and bracelets. LifePath said it fired Russell in September after learning of the allegations and conducting an investigation. Detectives said Russell was addicted to painkillers because of a back injury he suffered while serving in the Air Force, and stole to support his habit. Russell is being held on $94,500 bail.
