✅ Gen Z & Millennials expect it — PERIODT
✅ It adds depth and intention to your event design
✅ It’s a whole flex to slay sustainably

How to Serve Sustainability Chic at Your Next Event:

🌿 Eco-Luxe Decor

  • Dried and preserved florals — reusable AND still absolutely stunning
  • Upcycled or vintage rentals — hello, velvet sofas and art deco chandeliers with a story

🍽 Sustainable Catering

  • Farm-to-table menus featuring local, seasonal ingredients

Sustainability Chic isn’t just a trend — it’s the future. Events that feel good, look good, and leave a lighter footprint are EVERYTHING right now. So next time you’re planning,,, Think green — but make it FABULOUS. 💋✨🌿
