Ideas For An Ethically Conscious Wedding

The idea and concept behind today’s wedding inspiration shoot was one that totally captured me not only because of the amazing images but because the idea that was behind the inspiration shoot. The shoot was created around the idea that of how an “ethically conscious” wedding could be elegant and beautiful and the shoot even added some African art inspiration. One of the aspects I love is that this shoot also showcases two fo my favorite companies, TOMS Shoes For Wedding & 31 Buts Jewelry. From the photographer: The aim for this shoot is to create an ethically conscious wedding where all the details give back to the community or environment. Thanks to  Ronca Productions for sharing this inspiration shoot with us today.

We sought to find vendors and make design decisions that are completely ethical. Our hope is to inspire couples to spend a part of their budget on items or vendors that not only help make their wedding outstanding, but also give back to the community. We’ve collaborated with a fantastic group of wedding professionals and not-for-profit companies to stage a wedding that showcases how you can create a fabulous celebration utilizing design elements and vendors that “give back”.
