The wedding industry can build back better

May 20, 2021

After a year that has completely shaken our industry the end is in sight. Although the majority of wedding businesses haven’t be able  to run weddings since March 2020, many business owners have used the time to work on their business rather than for it.

We’ve seen a rise in businesses wanting to become more sustainable, and in particularly being more conscious of their the impact on the environment. Many have used the quieter months to look more in depth at their businesses, working out what sustainability means for them.

In 2020 the UK Government committed to build back greener, and formed the Environmental Bill which would, if passed, bring with it legally binding targets, plans and policies. The bill is still making its way through the commons, and should reach a public consultation in early 2022.  But there is no need to wait until then! You can start to make a difference now.
