The rising weed wedding trend offers a new and exciting opportunity for many
As long as people have been getting married, they’ve smoked or dabbled in edibles though mainly in secret sneaking out for a quick few puffs with a few 420-friendly souls before returning to the party like nothing ever happened. It wasn’t advertised, and it certainly wasn’t offered to attendees on a golden platter or buffet style, but legalization has changed this scene significantly.
Now, enthusiasts are going to great lengths to find new and exciting wedding ideas that will nod to the plant and its integral role in a happy couple’s day to day life. Hosting a cannabis wedding is a dream come true for many brides and grooms, and there are so many unique ways to approach the task.
The soon-to-be-married couple might just want to wear something small with cannabis leaves, as a statement, while others may prefer to go all out, and the latter means new opportunities for other professionals to hop on this trend.
1. Photographers
Cannabis photography is a popular art form, and it takes true skills to capture the beauty of the plant. Now pair that responsibility with a big event, and you’ve got an interesting project that can be taken in so many directions.
2. Chefs
Cannabis wedding meals and treats are a hot topic, with some going all out to microdose every single bite, and if you want to do that without forcing guests to choke down some generic cannabutter brownie, you’re going to need a chef who knows what they’re doing and is willing to offer their help with the process of infusion.
3. Clothing designers
The most magical part of the ultimate weed wedding is often the clothing, with a heavy emphasis on the gown, and with demand increasing, clothing designers and makers can get in on the action, which is great news in a time when very few opt for fitted and personalized clothing any other time.
4. Decorators
You can offer all of the incredible goodies on tap, a buffet or with amazing outfits, but there’s no special touch quite like a professional decorator with a passion for making green look good in a big fancy venue. Whether it’s the tablecloths, art, balloons, streamers, or centrepieces, it can all include a touch of cannabis.
5. Weed-related services
This is the only vague opportunity on this list, but that’s only because there are so many possibilities here. Budtenders might assist attendees by rolling joints or teaching them about strains, consumption services may provide bongs, vapes or a rolling station for guests to use, and even if the couple wants to supply all this themselves, it still helps to have someone who can disinfect said devices between users.
6. Florists
Who needs regular flowers when you can now add a touch of cannabis to the mix as a garnish? Perhaps if your budget allows, you could toss the typical blooms entirely and swap them out with cannabis flower, which could be sent home with attendees as small gifts, or taken home and enjoyed by the newly married couple.
7. Wedding planners
Wedding planners don’t just do one job, they take charge of the whole event, keeping everyone on time, and the wheels in motion while making connections between the couple and potential offerings like musicians, comedians, or chefs. If you’re comfortable in this role, then now is the time to include weed contacts on that Rolodex, because your clients will love it.
8. Invitation makers
Whether it’s beautiful, bold, cannabis-inspired invitations, centrepieces, or cute little notes to go along with gift bags for attendees, there’s plenty of room for print creators to design something spectacular and new.
9. Entertainers
There’s weed, music, comedians, and then there are those with a skill that’s just magical to watch like glass blowing, and you might find all of these entertainments at a cannabis wedding.
10. Happy couples
The best part of any weed wedding is how happy it makes the bride and groom, and it can be a truly uplifting experience for these lucky souls, who can openly celebrate this glorious, once-in-a-lifetime occasion the way they’d always hoped.
