FOREVER GREEN

Sustainability is a major concern around the globe, influencing people’s choices in all walks of life, including their weddings. Newlyweds-to-be are increasingly looking to lower the carbon footprint of their big day by incorporating reusable and recyclable, locally sourced and planet-friendly products. High on green credentials doesn’t have to mean low on style though – far from it and Norfolk-based Posh Plants is testament to that. Specialists in living trees, topiary and plants to decorate wedding venues of all kinds, you can hire anything from statuesque bay trees to cool olive trees and more. Bring the outdoors in and create a wow-factor backdrop that’s eco-friendly and stunning too. Owner Sue Huckle says, “Posh Plant’s trees are around 30 to 40 years old (probably older than many of the brides!) and after going out to work at a wedding they come back home to the nursery, where they’re mollycoddled and looked after by me. So, nothing is thrown away or wasted, they absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen, what’s more green is a really cool colour for weddings: timeless, elegant and sophisticated!” To find out more visit www.poshplants.com

Your East Anglian Wedding has teamed up with Posh Plants to run an exclusive reader offer of 10% off the hire cost of any of their trees or plants booked during December 2021 and January 2022, simply by quoting the magazine on enquiry.

GREAT EXPECTATIONS

Here at County Wedding Magazines and Events HQ we’re looking forward to kickstarting our Autumn wedding show season. From must-visit local fairs in some of the region’s best wedding venues, to our larger Signature Wedding Shows home to more than 100 exhibitors each, we can’t wait to welcome back our couples and help plan their wedding days.

Here’s what to expect when attending one of our events...

Whether you’re joyous that restrictions have passed, or are still a little hesitant, couples can rest assured our venues are continuing to maintain some of the government guidelines and measures to ensure everyone can feel comfortable and enjoy the day:

• Attendees will need to pre-register to attend events • There will be allocated time slots for visitors • All venues will also have enhanced cleaning procedures, with hand washing and sanitising facilities still available • Spaces between exhibition booths will be maintained to ease congestion • Optional face masks • Anyone with symptoms must refrain from visiting

Each event will boast a huge range of specialists who will be on hand to talk through your planning ideas and requirements; venues, bridal boutiques, photographers, florists, cake makers and more, there’s everything you could need to plan your wedding under one roof.

On the day refreshments will be available to purchase from each of the venue’s on-site restaurants, bars and cafés, and attending our exhibitions is free!

For more information on any of our exhibitions visit County Wedding Events’ website.

We look forward to seeing you at one of our events. Sarah
