How to Have Sustainable Wedding Flowers in Manitoba

It should come as no surprise to you that weddings as a whole can be rather wasteful events. After all, most weddings are very large parties with large guest lists, so even if there’s just a bit of waste per guest, anything times 150 guests adds up pretty quickly.

Okay listen. I’m a little anxious about publishing this blog post because there are a LOT of great wedding vendors in Winnipeg (and the surrounding areas). It pains me to not include everyone that I love working with because there are MANY of you.

I’m going to include the vendors who I feel go out of their way to consistently elevate their work, and thereby elevate our industry as a whole.
