Vendors are those talented individuals and businesses who can turn your vision into a reality - they’re with you at the start of your planning, throughout your wedding day, and sometimes that relationship lasts long after the wedding is over. So, if you want to put sustainability at the heart of your wedding, you’ll need vendors who share that vision - but how do you find the right people? In this episode, we talk with wedding vendors about how to find the right people and have the right conversations to make sure your event is all you want it to be - or maybe even better. We’ll explore what sustainability looks like for different vendors, and how the definition of “sustainable” goes far beyond some green initiatives.
Sustainably Wed is a 7-episode docu-series about sustainability in the wedding industry. Featuring vendors and experts from Vancouver Island and beyond, the series gets to the heart of what planning and hosting a sustainable event really looks like. Featuring seven key steps that span the early planning phases to the footprint after an event, Sustainably Wed is a deep dive into what an intentional and mindful celebration can look like. Throughout the series, we’ll learn how a sustainable approach can create a positive impact on a couple, their guests, the community, and the environment.
Sustainably Wed was created and produced by Chelsea Kanstrup and Bryan Smith of Paper Heart Films from Victoria, BC, and was made possible by funding from Telus Storyhive.
