✨Planning an event?✨Make it eco-conscious with these smart, sustainable swaps:

✅ Book local & like-minded vendors – Supporting businesses that value sustainability keeps your event aligned from the start

✅ Ditch single-use plastics – Use real glassware, cutlery & fabric napkins, or compostable alternatives

✅ Be mindful with food – Plan portions carefully, compost leftovers, or donate extras to local orgs

✅ Make waste sorting easy – Clearly label bins for recycling, compost & landfill (and put them where guests will actually use them!)

✅ Rethink guest travel – Encourage walking, biking, carpooling or public transit. Bonus points for shuttle service or ride-share incentives

✅ Choose meaningful swag – Go for plantable gifts, reusable totes, or anything with minimal packaging

✅ Keep it digital – Send invites, schedules & updates online. QR codes over printed programs all the way

Hosting with the 🌎 in mind doesn’t have to be complicated - just intentional!

✨What Your Wedding Decor Style Says About You✨… Because let’s be honest, your aesthetic is doing all the talking 💁🏻‍♀️

🤍 Minimalist Muse – Clean lines, neutral tones, and just the right amount of “wow.” You love a sleek tablescape and believe less really is more. Probably has a Pinterest board labeled “intentional.”

🌿 Boho Babe – You’re effortlessly cool, playlist-perfect, and probably planning barefoot vows under twinkle lights. You love pampas grass, macramé, and a good sunset. Chill, but make it chic.

🌸 Romantic Dreamer – Soft florals, candlelight everywhere, and a blush-toned everything. You cried during your first venue tour and probably will again. Your vibe is love poem meets bridal fantasy.

🏰 Modern Royalty – Dramatic centerpieces, bold colors, and luxe details. You’ve had a vision since 2010 and it involves statement everything. No such thing as too much glam.

🌼 Whimsical Wildheart – Playful colors, mismatched chairs, maybe even chandeliers in the forest. Your wedding feels like a storybook with a quirky twist—and everyone leaves smiling.

👀 So… which one are YOU?!
