We thought we would end our Green Wedding Month with a fun post about fabulous wedding accessories that will have you feeling green and glam on your wedding day. Enjoy!
Green Accessory Find #1: Mohop Shoes

We love Mohop's infinity sandals because they're beautifully crafted, eco-friendly and allow you to have a variety of design options with each pair of wooden soles.
How do they work?
First, you choose a sole that is made from either maple, cherry, or walnut and with a heel height that is either low, medium or high. Then you choose a ribbon colour and simply lace the ribbon through the elastic loops that are attached to the soles. Voila, you’ve created your own one-of-a-kind wedding shoes that are custom-fit to you. These shoes also work well for bridesmaids as you can order the same soles for each bridesmaid and coordinate the ribbons to the dresses.
You're feet will thank you because the unique footbed is designed to help prevent problems associated with dress shoes, like heel and ball-of-foot pain. Best of all, you can wear these after your wedding day as ribbons can be hand or machine washed and are interchangeable. Mohop shoes are individually handmade by Annie Mohaupt, in her Chicago studio.
Green Accessory Find #2: A Perfect Clutch

Inspired by her travels, this Etsy seller has created a gorgeous line of clutches made from stunning fabrics with unique textures and prints.
Why are these beauties so eco-chic?
Briana Edelman's handmade creations have a high-quality kisslock frame that is built to last and they're filled with batting made from recycled bottles, so each bag saves about one bottle from being wasted.
A clutch would make a very pretty bridesmaid gift and will look absolutely elegant coordinated with your wedding gown. Also, there's no place quite so quaint to stash some of those survival guide items we recommend you have at hand on your big day. After the wedding, enjoy your clutch again by pairing it with some fabulous jeans or your favourite little black dress.
