First Magazine for Environmentally (and Socially) Conscious Engaged Couples
(CSRwire) December 5, 2006: Portovert Magazine (pronounced porto-vair)
will launch January 2007 as the exclusive magazine for the eco-savvy bride
and groom. Portovert (www.portovert.com) delivers monthly,
online content that empowers engaged couples with inspiring, eco-chic
ideas for engagement parties, bridal showers, weddings and other events.
Don't expect to find inspiration for wheat bundled arrangements and DIY
hemp dresses here. "Portovert is the eco-savvy paperless equivalent of
magazines like Elegant Brides, Martha Stewart Weddings, and InStyle
Weddings ... we demonstrate how to source these luxe looks so they're
environmentally (and socially) responsible," states Meghan Yudes Meyers,
Editorial Director and CEO.
Portovert Magazine, creatively translated, means "Gateway to Green."
Meyers expands on this: "Gateways have traditionally been symbols of new
beginnings. In Bermuda, a stone archway is often integrated into wedding
ceremonies as a symbol of everlasting happiness and good fortune.
Portovert is like that archway - enter our web site and you'll find a
wealth of information to create an eco-chic wedding and to foster a
lifetime of style and sustainability."
Portovert Magazine: Content with a Conscious
For environmental reasons, you'll find Portovert Magazine
exclusively online. Portovert Magazine can be found at

all questions about nature and nuptials in her daily advice column.
Responsible Resource Guide™: Portovert's directory
is a well-edited list of sustainable wedding vendors, searchable both by
product and location.
The Vertique™: Portovert's "green boutique" is an
online gallery featuring discounts and merchandise exclusive to Portovert
readers.
