About us

The Sustainable Wedding Alliance is here to help you build a business that you’re proud of, one that has sustainability at its core and that balances people and planet. What is the Sustainable Wedding Alliance? Experience of working with couples directly means that we know that they wish they had a greater choice when it comes to sustainable (and ethical) suppliers. As people become increasingly aware of climate change, and start to understand what their impact on the environment truly is, I know this want, that clients have, will soon turn to a need. But it’s not just about consumer demand. As responsible business owners, we all need to take a look at the way we run both our businesses and the events and weddings we produce. For many it’s a daunting task, but it doesn’t need to be. Sustainability isn’t just about just making a few simple changes, it’s about adapting the way your business works, understanding the relationship between your business and our planet and balancing the two. At the Sustainable Wedding Alliance we are passionate about creating a more sustainable wedding industry through education, support and accreditation. We work with businesses to create long term sustainable strategies that they can implement themselves, or with our support.

    I'm doing something a little different this week! The response to Pioneer of the Year—our annual celebration of the extraordinary individuals in The Better Business Network —has been absolutely overwhelming. Read to the end to find out about amazing opportunity the Kindness Project is sharing with us too... 🚀 FIVE WEEKS TILL THE BETTER BUSINESS SUMMIT 🚀 This year, James Dady and I invited BBN members to nominate themselves or others, and our fantastic panel of judges Russ Avery (Avery & Brown | B Corp™), Mike Smith (Open Media UK) and Elle Chartres (Ad Net Zero) carefully selected nominees who are making the biggest impact in their industry, sector, or community. The five shortlisted pioneers will each have just five minutes to share their inspiring stories with the audience at the Better Business Summit this January. The winner, decided by audience vote, will be crowned “Pioneer of the Year" and will be celebrated on billboards around the country! And the shortlist is... 🎉 Simon Hall from Airway Medical Ltd 🎉 Michelle Miles 💚Founder of Sustainable Wedding Alliance | B Corp™ 🎉 Isabel Mack, Founder at Party Kit Network CIC 🎉 Catherine Manning Founder of Measure Up 🎉 And Re-Action Collective, Heather Davies & Gavin Fernie-Jones one of you will have to take the mantel here... LASTLY... The Kindness Project has kindly donated FIVE free tickets to this year’s Better Business Summit! We strive to keep ticket prices as accessible as possible, but we know it can still be a challenge for some. If you’ve been following along and would love to attend but finances have been a barrier, please reach out to me directly at hannah@betternotstop.com. P.S. Don’t forget—there are also Pay What You Can tickets available, and BBN members get £100 off all ticket types! P.P.S Who remembers this moment from last year 🤣

  • We're so excited to be adding more Carbon Literacy Training dates for this Autumn. It's a must for all wedding professionals that want to learn more about sustainability. We're kicking off with an in person event at BMA House, London on 2nd October. If you can't make this one, check out our other Autumn dates here: https://lnkd.in/eSNne6Qg? Here's what a few of our recent attendees have said: "I completed the Carbon Literacy Training with Michelle as an online course over two half days. It presented the facts in an easy to understand format, with Michelle talking through everything and fielding questions from us as we went along. It is a heavy topic to grasp, and can be challenging especially when tackling Climate Justice and Reparations, and can trigger a range of emotions. It felt like a safe space to talk openly, no judgement, and left me feeling empowered to talk to my clients, friends and family about Climate Change in an effective and engaging way." "Participating in the Carbon Literacy Training was truly eye-opening. It shed light on areas of my life and business where I could improve my carbon footprint. The training was both enjoyable and enlightening, and I would highly recommend it to others seeking to make a positive impact for the future." "I highly recommend Carbon Literacy Training to anyone seeking an understanding of environmental issues and a tangible roadmap for reducing their carbon footprint. It's an investment not only in personal development but also in the well-being of our planet. I've already implemented changes in both my personal life and business, proving that small, conscious choices can make a significant impact." #carbonliteracytraining #sustainablesmallbusiness The Carbon Literacy Project
