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

Other things we do

We have taken on the challenge of sourcing eco-friendly products for all your wedding needs in a market that is flooded with unsustainable, cheap throwaway products. Our vision is to become a 'one-stop' shop for all eco-friendly wedding products and we are working towards this by continuing to source more suppliers that match our environmental principles.
