Today is #EarthDay2021 I made a commitment this ye Today is #EarthDay2021
I made a commitment this year to drastically change my business - both in the products I make and the processes I use - to become more sustainable and reduce my impact on the planet.
.
♻️ My blog yesterday was all about how I'm promoting the use of recycled and sustainably sourced paper in my invitations and stationery (go have a read if you missed it #linkinbio).
.
But there are lots of other things I'm doing behind the scenes too, here are some of them:
⚡️ the energy I use to power my heating, lighting and of course all those printers is from a 100% renewable source
💻 I've chosen a green website hosting provider
📦 I have designed minimal packaging for my stationery that is entirely plastic free, and easily recyclable
.
🌎 My 'Green Commitment' is on my website for all to see - because I want to be accountable, I want you to know that I'm serious about the commitment I have made, and I want to be transparent about the decisions I make.

It's an ongoing process of gradual and constant improvement. I have a long way to go, and I'm sure I'll make mistakes along the way but it feels good to be heading in the right direction.
.
Who's with me? What steps are you taking to reduce your impact on the planet? Tell me in the comments.

Offering your guests a menu choice? Including a re Offering your guests a menu choice?
Including a reply card with tick boxes is a really efficient way to collect their choices. Keep the info and then give them their own personalised menu on the day too, keeping your stationery theme consistent throughout.

Printing your order of the day onto a confetti bag Printing your order of the day onto a confetti bag is a great way to reduce waste at your wedding. Place them on your ceremony chairs and they add a little something to your decor too!
.
Glassine bags are made from a special kind of paper that is recyclable, biodegradable and compostable. Filled with dried flower petal confetti they are a great little eco friendly addition to your big day.

So good to get back to Saturday morning creativity!

Well, this week there really has been a feeling of Well, this week there really has been a feeling of optimism and positivity with things opening up, restrictions easing and a little more normality creeping back in. The sun has been shining and the Spring is springing too!
.
I just wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you to my lovely couples, for all your support and understanding over the last year. It's not been easy (for any of us!) to say the least. Constantly rejigging schedules, changing plans, moving dates whilst all the time trying to remain positive and be there for you all has taken it's toll at times. Not to mention the physical obstacles of working in a studio that is choc full of your orders, some half finished, on hold, patiently waiting for when your big day can finally go ahead. But you've all been so understanding and kind, and hopefully we're now nearly at the end of this tunnel.
.
So once again, thank you - have a lovely weekend! I'm looking forward to a couple of Saturday morning consultations and then I plan to enjoy some family time.
.
Much love
