What we do
We are an online store supplying a wide range of stylish eco-friendly wedding products, including:
• fairtrade albums & guest books;
• seeded plantable stationery & wedding favours;
• recycled glassware;
• biodegradable balloons;
• organic candles; and
• eco-friendly greetings cards & wrapping paper.
Whether you're organising a green wedding or attending one, this is the store for you.
We believe that wedding products can be both stylish and eco-friendly - you won't have to compromise your dream wedding plans to be more environmentally friendly.
It is our ethical views that separate us from the thousands of wedding websites offering cheap one-off throwaway products. The products listed on our website provide a full description of how eco-friendly they are so you can see for yourself how you are helping the environment.
Ethical action
We carefully source eco-friendly products from suppliers that match our environmental principles in order to offer the largest range of eco-friendly wedding products on the market. By eco-friendly we mean that the product must be either from sustainable renewable sources, biodegradable, handmade, organic or fair trade.
We also support selected charities by donating 10% of profits from sales of some of our products.
A few ways we're trying to make a difference
Recycling
We recycle all of our business stationery, packaging and waste. We use recycled stationery and recycled packaging - including recycled ink cartridges for printing, recycled paper, green 'eco-bubble' wrap, 100% recycled tissue paper. We also reuse cardboard boxes. Our glassware range is made from 100% recycled glass.
Reducing carbon footprint
We are a home business so we don’t have to commute to and from a premises, reducing the need to travel. The building is well insulated and we also use energy saving light bulbs and energy saving appliances where possible.
Using organic products
We stock organic candles from ethical sources.
Supporting local producers
We try and source our products locally whenever possible.
Supporting fair trade
All of our wedding albums and guest books are handmade and fairtrade.
Supporting / working with a charity
10% of profits from sales of some of our products is donated to charity (The Fairtrade Foundation and the World Land Trust).
