Eco Friendly aka / Green Wedding Centerpieces or Party Table Centerpieces
Looking for a way to decorate your wedding reception or next party ... and also give to charity? I've got the perfect place for you to visit. Organic Bouquet. Organic Bouquet was formed in January 2001 with the goal to establish the national market for organic flowers. They have accomplished this by encouraging both small and large flower growers to initiate organic production while creating widespread trade and consumer awareness of the need for organic flowers. Their ultimate goal is to protect the environment and improve farm worker safety by eliminating millions of pounds of toxic pesticides from agricultural usage.
Organic Bouquet has quickly become the market leader in organic flowers and is recognized in the trade as having established the natural products industry's newest category--organic floral. Their flowers are available online and in some of your favorite natural food stores, including Whole Foods Markets nationwide. Here are a few samples: Roses where a portion is donated to the Red Cross; but they have flowers that go to other charities as well, including: Peace, Children, Snow Tigers, other wildlife to name just a few. This company is really worth checking out.
American Red Cross Freedom Roses
Organic Bouquet is honored to offer these rare and elegant red roses to support the mission of the American Red Cross. The American Red Cross provides relief to victims of disasters and helps people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies. The Red Cross also offers CPR classes and certificates, and blood donation drives. The organization is led by volunteers and is celebrating its 125th anniversary this May, 2006.
Flowering Tea Gift Set This gorgeous Numi gourmet tea set turns the art of making tea into tea art. Flowering teas are handpicked, organically grown premium white, green and black tea leaves that are hand sewn with cotton thread by Chinese artisans into rosettes or tiny bundles. This makes a great centerpiece --- Very pretty.

Zero-G Weightless Flight Experience ... Great Honeymoon Idea : )
Experience zero gravity the only way possible without going to space. Parabolic flight is the same method NASA has used to train its astronauts for the last 45 years and the same way Tom Hanks floated in Apollo 13.
The weightlessness experienced by everyone inside the airplane is actually equivalent to the type of "free fall" you experience when sky diving. In this case however, the body of the aircraft surrounds you and protects you from the on-rushing wind. At the end of the free fall period, the aircraft also scoops you up and carries you back up to the top of the arc to begin the free fall process again.
All passengers will be asked to sign a Medical History Form that includes a series of questions pertaining to certain medical conditions. If you do not have any of these conditions, it will not be necessary to consult with a doctor. If you do have any of the indicated conditions, you must confer with your personal physician and obtain his/her sign-off (a 'fit to fly' letter). If you are pregnant, have heart or back problems, you should consult your physician to see if this experience is appropriate for you.
