First Magazine for Environmentally (and Socially) Conscious Couples |
|
HERNDON, VIRGINIA, Dec. 12 -/E-Wire/-- 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."
