We've got more green wedding ideas for you courtesy of the Green Bride Guide. This week we're bringing you inspirational images and tips from Melissa and Jordan's antique themed wedding at Hurd Orchards in Holley, New York.


Melissa & Jordan's Orchard Wedding


Melissa & Jordan met back in college, where Melissa was Jordan’s orientation leader. Though the two tried dating twice throughout school, the time was never quite right.


Post-graduation, they separated and both traveled far away from home to San Francisco and Prague. By chance, when they returned, they ended up working just a block away from one another. Melissa and Jordan reconnected one wintry night during a long stroll and they've been together since.
