8 Ways to Make Your Wedding More Sustainable

Down the Aisle

Adorn the aisle with buckets of flowers. Flowers are such a special part of any ceremony, but one often forgotten element is the vessel holding the flowers. Our buckets are the perfect vessel to bring some nautical flare to your walk down the aisle. Place them in the grass without any worries as they'll be easy to wipe down when you're cleaning up. These buckets can also be moved from the from the aisle to the reception using the durable rope handle, serving a dual purpose where they can sit atop the tables as centerpieces (even better, let guests bring them home as favors).

A Sustainable Centerpiece

When you move the buckets to the table after the ceremony, leave the flowers for a pop of color, or swap them out for a battery powered candle to create a sustainable lantern. They make for a great conversation piece, and seamlessly tie the decorations together from one setting to the other. You can even adorn your guests' tables with our nautical bar essentials. While serving a functional purpose the day of the event, these tools serve as a great thank you gift as well that guests can pick up off the table and take home with them. Have them load up the Bucket Bag centerpiece with these table takeaways.

For Safe Keeping

Making sure the rings get down the aisle safely is arguably one of the most important tasks at the wedding. We've all heard horror stories of the rings magically disappearing moments before it's time to put them on. Whether you have a ring bearer delivering the rings to you at the end of the aisle, or one of you plans to carry them in your pocket for the ceremony, keep them extra secure in one of our wristlets or change purses.

Traveling Party Favors

Wine bags make the perfect wedding favor. Fill them with a bottle of wine or give them as is. This will be the gift that keeps giving, as there is a space on the back to log who has been gifted the bag and the date, so that each person who receives it can see where it has traveled. Better yet, your guests will have a sustainable wine carrier for when they visit you in your marital home.

A Guestbook You'll Use For Lifetimes

Our Guest Book Tote is perfect for many memorable occasions, but we especially love it for weddings. The tote begins as a panel of sail cloth that all your guests can sign and write well-wishes and is then turned into a reusable tote that you can use for years to come after the wedding. Every time you peek in the tote to pull something out, you'll see kind notes and love from your friends and family. This is always a conversation piece and gives you a reason to keep your guestbook around!

A Welcoming Gift

Welcome the wedding party to the venue with a personalized kit that will make them feel special. This Ditty Bag is loaded with a celebratory mini bottle of prosecco, some hydration packs to gear up for the long day, vitamin c, pain reliever, water, and a few snacks for those late night munchies. Plus, your guest can use the bag to store weekend odds and ends until it's time to pack for home.

Gifts for the Girls

The bridal party goes above and beyond to help make sure the big day goes smoothly. Thank them with personalized gifts you won't find at the store. Our design team can help create custom totes. Consider a custom design such as a chart or map of the wedding location. Or gift the girls a single letter tote personalized to each bridesmaid. We also love when brides gift their crew with wristlets to carry their personal belongings with them throughout the busy day.

Gifts for the Guys

For the groomsmen, nothing says "thank you" like a bucket of beer. Gift them your favorite 6-pack from one of the local breweries in our lightweight portable cooler. Our Beverage Bucket has room for six beverages as well as a section in the middle for ice, with a grommet in the bottom that allows for melted ice to dripe through. Top the gift off with a bottle opener and a personalized flask that they can take home and enjoy at the beach, backyard, and beyond. For something a bit bigger, duffel bags are a hit and can be personalized with their initials. Custom duffel bags are also an option and give you an opportunity to coordinate the design with the bridesmaids' custom totes!
