Eco-Friendly Market and DK Designs Clay Floral Artistry

Years ago, I found Eco-Friendly Market when I was looking for sinamay envelopes. We've kept in touch over the years and we've always talked about working together, but it never quite seemed to be the right time. But now they have asked me to revisit working with them to create samples as many of their end clients have asked about the clay flowers. So for 2010, I'm working closely with Eco-Friendly Market to create clay floral artistry for their favors, gift baskets and more. They have a wonderful selection of favor type boxes, envelopes and other items perfect for brides planning a wedding and want something more unique than a little cardboard favor box. These are reusable and very beautiful. The other nice thing is that the company focuses on providing environmentally friendly alternatives to packaging and follows the fair trade practices.

Until now, Eco-Friendly Market has only sold wholesale and to distributors, but if you're interested in their favor boxes, envelopes, etc for your wedding. Just let them know that DK Designs referred you and they will be able to assist you! If you're a wedding retailer or business, just let them know that DK Designs referred you for wholesale pricing

All their products are very high quality. I can see many of these being used to put spa products, jewelry or even a gift card. I know many say gift cards are kind of a cop out, but packaged in one of these beautiful boxes or purses with a clay flower makes it a little more unique!

I'm continuing to build more samples for them to use on their website, but wanted to give you a sneak peek of some things I've been working on. The below purse would be great to give to your bridesmaids with lip gloss, spa products and adorn with maybe a hair flower on the outside for them to wear on your wedding day. For those who don't want to give hair flowers, you can also put a corsage in the button loop and your loved ones can wear these on that special day.Lots more to talk about in the coming weeks so stay tuned, but wanted to share with you some exciting things I've been working on over the last several weeks!
Visit Eco-Friendly Market's website to see what exciting eco-friendly packaging alternatives are out there and create a stylish look for your wedding. If you would like these packaging concepts with my clay flowers, please let me know and I'd be happy to create something beautiful and unique for your wedding day or special occasion.

DK Designs Eco-Friendly Packaging

I've been trying to figure out how to repackage my hair flowers and cake flowers. I haven't been happy with the cellophane bag route as it holds moisture in the bag which is not good for the flowers. So, thanks to my friend at www.zenatona.etsy.com, I decided to go with the muslin pouch route! My flowers are always termed at eco-chic alternative to fresh flowers, so why not provide packaging that is also eco-friendly and reusable! I'm going to modify the background images from time to time depending on my creative mood, but for now, I'm using this image taken by my other photographer friend, Natalie Wi of Allure West Studios. I hope to share some other photos she took of my work soon! I like how this overexposed image came out and set against the oatmeal colored bag, looks really vintage. :)
At any rate, I will be using these bags to house my hair flowers and cake flowers that I ship to customers. As a side note, I always try to reuse packaging materials that I have from other shipments.
