2026 th yea fo SUSTAINABLE WEDDINGS Couples are rethinking how they celebrate love without creating unnecessary waste. From single-use decorations and dresses to imported cut flowers, the carbon footprint cost of the big day can add up quickly. Small shifts – like renting instead of buying – can make a big environmental impact. In addition to reducing carbon emissions, renting allows you to enjoy higher-quality items for a fraction of their purchase price, freeing up budget for other parts of your wedding! This concept isn’t new; dress boutiques and wedding stylists have long offered rental gowns and accessories. However, this recent shift in consumer demand has inspired a far greater range of options, catering to every budget. Pioneering this change in the floristry world is Rosie from Rosedale Botanics: “My plants are grown in-house and used across multiple projects, meaning no air-miles and zero waste.” Visit rosedalebotanics.co.uk Want a natural wedding?
