Fall is upon us, and so is the season of love! With many couples rescheduling their postponed nuptials due to the global pandemic and new engagements happening daily, the wedding season is busier than ever. As more states legalize cannabis for medical and adult-use, there is a growing trend of CBD and cannabis being infused into wedding celebrations. Here are a few ways you can add some “canna” wedding vibes to the big day.
Something “Canna”
One wedding ritual still popular today is gifting the bride-to-be something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue. These items were traditionally given to ward off evil spirits and bring good luck and prosperity. Today, however, less emphasis is put on superstition, and it is now seen as an excellent way to shower the bride with a bit of extra love on her wedding day. For our 420-friendly brides, consider mixing it up and adding something canna into the mix. Some fun ideas include cannabis-inspired jewelry or bridal accessories like a garter or hairpin.
Did someone say, “bud bar”?
While alcohol is traditionally seen as the best way to get the party started, having a “bud or cannabis bar” is guaranteed to have everyone lit, both literally and figuratively. Some wedding and event planners now offer mobile cannabis bar services. Irie Weddings & Events, for example, offers bud bar packages that include a team of highly trained budtenders and everything you and your guests would need to indulge responsibly.
Cheers with CBD cocktails
If you need some pre-wedding stress relief, a CBD-infused cocktail is perfect for calming any wedding day jitters. No THC is included, so it will not get you high, but you will feel relaxed and refreshed! Consider having some in the wedding party suite as everyone gets ready for the big day. You can also add it as a non-alcoholic cocktail option at the wedding reception.
Share the Canna Love
Make a lasting impression on guests with cannabis or CBD-inspired favor for them to culminate your canna wedding experience. There are so many options, from custom packaged edibles to CBD or cannabis-infused soaps. If you are in a state where cannabis is legal for adult use, you can even opt for giving out hand-rolled joints to go!
There are lots of ways to incorporate CBD and cannabis into wedding celebrations. From adding a little canna touch to old wedding rituals to sipping on a CBD-infused cocktail to lighting one up with your guests at your very own “bud bar,” there is no shortage of options. Don’t be afraid to venture outside the box and make some new memories by saying “I DO” the CannaCurious way this wedding season.
Pro Tip: Attending a cannabis wedding expo is a great way to connect with local cannabis and CBD brands or wedding service providers to help you infuse your wedding celebration.
