Around these parts, it's Pride allllllll year long!!
The wedding industry has a long way to go in being more inclusive.
If you're still in 2026 refusing service to couples based on who they love, what the hell are you even doing in this industry???
If you're taking money from the LGBTQ+ community but you're voting against their interests, that's not true inclusivity.
If you post one gay couple a year on June 1 but the rest of the year it's crickets, that's not true inclusivity.
Pride is more important than ever with everything going on in the world: so wedding industry, it is truly time to DO BETTER. There are so many resources available to us to learn how to bring more inclusivity into our businesses, and there are simple changes you can make literally right now to make your business more inclusive!
π Call out your values explicitly, clearly, and boldly on your websites and socials. Don't make couples have to hunt for it or ask an uncomfortable question.
π Go through your website, forms, and contracts and get rid of "bride and groom" because not every wedding has a bride, not every wedding has a groom!
π Ask for pronouns in your contact forms, and share yours!
π If you don't have LGBTQ+ couples in your portfolio to show, do some work to make it happen. is a great place to start!
