The ECO Wedding Show is back in Manchester for spring 2024 at All Work & Social on May 5th.
About The ECO Wedding Show
Magpie Wedding embraces all things creative for your wedding day; from the flowers to the dress, from the photography to the styling. We want artisan, unique couples to enjoy discovering new styles for their day, in a relaxed environment – be it the blog, the ECO Wedding Show, BOND Bride magazine or the directory. We aim to showcase a creative luxe design but with an ethical edge. Our core values are inclusivity, well-being over weight loss, being eco-minded, supporting UK indie businesses and holding feminist values.
Our shows are more than an average wedding show. Each show has fabulous suppliers, useful talks and seminars to inform and experiences and workshops to inspire, the opportunity to go VIP, and above all, an ethos that celebrates our couples! So no teeth whitening, no weight loss, nothing that makes anyone feel anything less than beautiful.
The Show runs from 11 until 2, then for an hour afterward you are invited to The After Show for networking, fizz and training – a chance for you to learn and grow in a safe space.
How ECO do you have to be?
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 you may be less good at one aspect – but overall you are making a difference. And want to.
ECO also stands for Ethical, Creative and Off Beat – which is what we are all about here at Magpie Wedding.
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, and hand-making items that last forever…..
In doubt whether you meet the criteria? Email us at events@magpiewedding.com and let’s chat!
