The Ethical Wedding Show Exhibitors At The Ecology Pavilion London

The Ethical Wedding Show is almost here!!! Held at the Ecology Pavilion, Mile End, London on October 23rd, 2022 it’s a show for eco, ethically-minded couples who love the planet as well as each other. The show will include seminars (think super useful talks on relationships, body confidence and more), workshops (think loads of lovely crafting), talks (think wedding planning advice) and of course our awesome wedding suppliers which were about to give you a sneak peek on!

 

We are firm believers that a million people embracing being eco imperfectly is better than a few people doing it perfectly. Therefore we have designed a 5-point criteria for our businesses with everyone involved having to meet at least 3. This, therefore, means they may be less good at one aspect – but overall they are making a difference. And want to.

The 5 points are:

SUPPORTING LOCAL – to bring down their carbon footprint, to support communities and small businesses here in the UK.

NO SINGLE-USE PLASTIC – reducing plastic use overall and cutting out single-use plastic

BEST RECYCLING PRACTICES – using recycled materials, and recycling afterward

CARING FOR WILDLIFE – adding a large vegan choice, not using chemicals that harm nature, and generally loving the planet

SUPPORTING OTHER ECO INITIATIVES – supporting charities, reducing waste, donating after the day, excellent working practices, hand-making items that last forever…..

 

Every supplier has been handpicked not just for their gorgeous product and impeccable service, but because they too care about the planet. They have worked hard to reduce their plastic use before, during, and after your wedding. They have introduced vegan versions to give more choice, and because they care. They have been clever with recycling or up-cycling in their designs as well as after your wedding. They source locally to keep their carbon footprint low. They embrace pre-loved or vintage. But this doesn’t mean quality has dropped. Neither does it mean they don’t deliver the creative luxe weddings we are known for here at Magpie Wedding.

AND drumroll please… here are the AMAZING suppliers who will be joining us…
