HONEYMOON FOR THE PLANET // Planning a conscious w

HONEYMOON FOR THE PLANET // Planning a conscious wedding doesn't stop on at your wedding day, consider a honeymoon that actively supports positive climate projects too.

In line with World Environment Day's theme “Land restoration, desertification, and drought resilience,” you can contribute to the recovery of our planet’s precious ecosystems. Connect your love story with this crucial message.

Eco-lodges in National Parks or wildlife sanctuaries allow you to experience nature’s beauty while supporting conservation efforts. Responsible travel companies can help you curate a honeymoon that minimises your environmental impact.

If you'd like to plan a honeymoon with the planet in mind, find a company that can help curate a trip that as memorable as it is kind to the planet.

CELEBRATE LOVE // Weddings are joyous occasions, but they can also come with a significant environmental impact. By incorporating environmentally conscious practices, you can demonstrate your commitment to a healthy planet, starting with your very first chapter together.

But where do you start? Venue with a view – and a purpose
Consider a venue that actively supports land restoration. Many eco-lodges, farms, or botanical gardens dedicate themselves to sustainable land management practices. In line with World Environment Day, choose a location committed to reforestation, soil health improvement, or water conservation. By supporting venue that have sustainable practices in place you contribute directly to land restoration efforts through your wedding, building a legacy for your marriage for years to come.

BLOOMING BRILLIANT // Planning your wedding? Why not celebrate your love, nature and beauty of both by including seasonal, stunning British blooms in your day.

This week, we’re shining a light on the incredible work of florists and farmers in the Sustainable Wedding Alliance. They’re passionate about creating gorgeous florals with a minimal environmental footprint - perfect for conscious couples!

Here’s how flowers can be a sustainable part of your wedding:
🌻 Seasonal blooms: Opt for locally-grown, British flowers that are in season. They’ll be fresher, last longer, and require less transport!
👀 Sustainable sourcing: Choose florists who work with conscious farmers who minimise pesticides and use responsible growing practices. Look for members of the Sustainable Wedding Alliance!
🏺 Upcycled & recycled: Get creative! Use vintage vases, repurpose fabric scraps for bouquets, or opt for biodegradable decorations.

AT THE HEART // Congratulations to @budebotanical

AT THE HEART // Congratulations to @budebotanical on achieving the Sustainable Wedding Alliance Accreditation, a North Cornwall based florist that has put sustainability at the heart of their business and the decisions they make have the future of the planet at their core.

"Operating a sustainable floristry business which relies heavily on global unsustainable cut flower supply chains is really hard…like REALLY hard! It is much, much easier for florists to stick with the decades-old status quo. But at Bude Botanical we believe that with a more conscious and collaborative approach to our work, it is possible to change not only our business, but also to become part of a movement that wishes to see wholesale change within our industry."

"We believe that protecting our planet from the effects of climate change is a duty of today’s modern florist. We want our customers to have beautiful flowers to help them mark the significant days of their lives, but we also want those flowers, and the work that goes into delivering them, to have as light an environmental footprint as possible."

In order to operate a floristry business which has as light an environmental footprint as possible, they have set themselves the following goals:
🌼 Use British grown flowers as much as possible
🛳 Continue to educate ourselves to ensure we are able to make the most sustainable choices when buying imported flowers
🌻 Continue to develop our studio cutting garden
🍂 Compost our green waste
💦 Collect more rainwater for use in our studio
❌ Reduce the use of single use plastics
💐 Use sustainable floristry design techniques
🌳 Offset our business travel emissions
⚖️ Ensuring our banking and pensions are held with ethical financial providers

Visit their website to find out how Rachel can work with you to create a beautiful, bespoke and British bounty of blooms for your wedding day.

SOMETHING BORROWED // Planning your wedding? Butte

SOMETHING BORROWED // Planning your wedding? Butterflies fluttering in your stomach? Vision board overflowing with peonies and Pinterest-perfect centerpieces? Hold on, lovebirds, before you get swept away in a whirlwind of white tablecloths and endless champagne toasts, let’s talk about something truly breathtaking: a wedding that celebrates not just your love, but also our beautiful planet!

Sustainable weddings? Doesn’t that sound like swapping fairy lights for flickering candles and ditching the dance floor for a barefoot ceremony on the beach? (Spoiler alert: it doesn’t!) Think of it as the ultimate upgrade to your “something borrowed” tradition. Borrowing a commitment to the environment for your big day is the new “it” accessory, adding a touch of conscious cool to your celebration.

But Why Go Green? Check out our latest Concious Couple planning blog (link in bio) to find out why sustainable weddings aren't a trend, but a necessity.
