We don't normally take vacations during the summer months because we're busy with wedding season. So, we dream...

We dream of a far off tropical island where palm trees sway to a cool breeze and clear white sands sparkle with the sun. Where all we need is a swimsuit, a towel and a good cocktail.

We've come across great tropical inspired wedding favors, the Palm Tree is on the top of our list of a great themed inspired event favor. You could incorporate the Palm Tree from the beginning of planning your event by adding a Palm Tree design to your invite or STD.

Below you can check out some of the Palm Tree favors we found!

Girls, can we ever have enough accessories? Of course not and I just purchased a fun new one. A wristlet from the ecoist Subway collection, made from recycled subway maps. How cool is that? All of their collections are made from recycled candy wrappers, coke or water bottle labels and even bar codes.

Ecoist goal is to merge design with social and enviromental consciousness. All their products are made from recycled, organic, or earth-friendly materials, and are manufactured through their network of fair trade partnerships around the world.
