Inclusivity isn’t said - it’s felt.
Love is filling the air and hearts are flowing. Wedding day vibes are too flowy to be cut off with an unintentional exclusion. Don’t fret over the details – that’s what your designer is for!
A great way to make sure your wedding day décor is perfect is by selecting the perfect vendors for your big day.
It’s important to be sure they are representative of everything important to you. It’s about making sure you and all your guests feel welcome at your wedding. You want your big day to be a celebration and hiring inclusive vendors can be a big part of that.
Here’s a list of four of my most influential inclusive wedding vendors available in STL:
Celebrate local impactful businesses with us!
Locate vendors that make inclusivity an essential part of themselves. You can usually tell based on their website and some initial conversations whether a vendor takes this seriously and someone you want on your big day. If they make it a priority in their messaging and take pride in it as well as how they have accomplished this with previous weddings.
Another cool detail is to see how businesses impact their communities or customers in special ways. These extra steps can really lead to a special wedding day.

Vendors that understand your values
If you take the time to identify and research these inclusive and impactful businesses it can lead to an elevated wedding day experience. Vendors that take your unique needs into mind can specialize their services to make your wedding that much better. Examples could be ones that understand your cultural background or ones that celebrate LGBTQ+ symbolism and can iterate that in your desired way.
