Planning a wedding that reflects your values is more than a trend—it’s a movement. Green weddings are on the rise, with couples across the UK choosing to celebrate their love in ways that honour the planet, support ethical businesses, and create lasting memories with minimal waste. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that’s beautiful, meaningful, and environmentally conscious, Sharpham Dairy is the perfect partner.
What Is a Green Wedding?
A green wedding is all about mindful choices:
- Locally sourced food and flowers
- Minimal waste and plastic-free décor
- Ethical suppliers and venues
- Sustainable fashion and transport
- Eco-friendly favours and gifts
It’s not about perfection—it’s about intention. Every decision, from the venue to the cake, can reflect your commitment to a better world.
Why Sharpham Dairy Is a Natural Choice
Sharpham Dairy isn’t just a producer of award-winning artisan cheeses—it’s a Certified B Corporation, meaning it meets the highest standards of social and environmental impact. In fact, in April 2022, Sharpham became the first dairy cheesemaker in the UK to achieve B Corp certification. We are pleased to announce that we have just recertified, scoring 98.5 out of 100.
Here’s why that matters for your wedding:
Ethical & Sustainable Practices
Sharpham’s B Corp certification was earned through a rigorous two-year process that assessed its impact across five key areas: Governance, Workers, Community, Environment, and Customers.
Our score of 98.5 (well above the 80-point threshold) reflects a deep commitment to sustainability, transparency, and ethical business.
Planet-Friendly Production
Sharpham Dairy actively reduces its environmental footprint through:
- Sustainable packaging
- Responsible sourcing
- Local production in Devon
- Living Wage accreditation
- Fair supplier relationships
This means your cheese wedding cake isn’t just delicious—it’s a statement of values.
Artisan Quality with a Conscience
Every wheel of cheese is handcrafted with care, using traditional methods and milk from our own herd of Jersey cows or local herds for us. Whether you choose a signature cake like The Devon or design your own bespoke tower, you’re supporting a business that puts people and planet before profit.
How Sharpham Fits into Your Green Wedding
- Local & Seasonal: All cheeses are made in Devon, reducing transport emissions and supporting local agriculture.
- Minimal Waste: Cheese cakes are entirely edible- including the rind, and leftovers can be shared, stored, frozen or composted.
- Reusable Decor: Pair your cake with potted herbs, seasonal fruits, or wildflowers for a zero-waste centrepiece.
- Eco-Conscious Gifting: Cheese rounds make memorable gifts or favours that guests will actually enjoy.
A Wedding That Feels Good
Choosing Sharpham Dairy means selecting a supplier that shares your values. It’s a way to celebrate love while supporting a business that’s actively working to make the world better—one wheel of cheese at a time.
