Wedding season is here, bringing with it the desire to create a celebration that truly means something. More and more couples are choosing an ethical wedding, aligned with their values: respect for the environment, animal welfare, and responsible consumption. Here’s our guide to help you create an unforgettable, stylish, and conscious wedding.

1. Ethical wedding planning: where to start?

The key to a successful wedding often lies in high-quality support. Today, several ethical wedding planners offer services that align with your convictions.

✨ Committed addresses:

• La Belle Empreinte: a label dedicated to responsible and sustainable wedding vendors.

• Epouse-moi Cocotte: an agency for eco-designed weddings with a true sensitivity to craftsmanship and short supply chains.

• Margoo: a sustainable wedding planning platform featuring carefully selected vendors.

• Les Grands Moments: wedding planner for responsible weddings in Provence and across Europe.

Tip: define your shared priorities (zero waste, vegan, local, artisanal…) to guide your choices.

2. Eco-friendly and poetic wedding decoration

An ethical wedding doesn’t mean sacrificing aesthetics—quite the opposite. Choose sustainable, natural materials, ideally reusable or second-hand.

✨ Practical ideas:

• Rent your tableware and furniture from La Vaisselle d’Augustine, a specialist in vintage tableware.

• Use seasonal flowers from local farms (Fleurs de France label or Slow Flower certified).

• Choose tablecloths and drapes made from linen or organic cotton.

• Offer vegan candles, plantable seeds, or natural soaps as guest favors. A great source: Atelier Populaire offers organic soaps made in Paris—perfect for thoughtful and sustainable gifts.

3. The bride's look: ethical, modern and radiant

A responsible wedding also means choosing ethical bridal fashion. Opt for a gown made of natural or recycled materials, designed by a committed creator.

✨ For a unique and responsible wedding dress:

• Explore the selection of second-hand long dresses from La Sève: a sustainable and poetic choice, in perfect harmony with your values.

✨ For accessories, choose Rive Claire:
