The legalization of marijuana in many parts of the world including Canada and some states in the US gives many people the opportunity to incorporate the plant into many aspects of their lives. As a matter of fact, many individuals include cannabis in celebrations of important days such as Christmas, birthdays and even the observation of the Lent Season.

Last October 27, 2019, the Toronto Cannabis Wedding Expo was held and through this, we had a chance to glimpse of what a wedding of this kind will look like. Whether you are a bride or groom to be or simply a guest of one, below are some things that were observed from this unique wedding.

Cannabis-Themed Wedding- What to Expect

Gift Bags Full of Cannabis Products

Weddings would never be complete without a basket of goodie bags to give away. With numerous CBD products on the market, it’s not at all difficult to streamline your gift items to the people who’ll be attending your ceremony and reception. From beauty items to CBD oil edibles, there are now tons of options you can choose from.

You can even customize giveaways depending on the personality and preferences of your recipient. Friends who are bookworms can receive cannabis-related books, while those who love music can get marijuana-inspired records. This way, you can make sure they know that their presence and support on your day is well-appreciated.

Cannabis-Themed Reception

Not everyone will be open to having marijuana in their respective venues. Although your state or region might uphold the legalization laws in place, not every venue will be as welcoming. Since regulations and restrictions on this plant are still being navigated, it might be best to choose a privately-owned venue. Better yet, get recommendations from your local dispensary. They might have partners who have contacts who can offer you a venue you might like.

With a cannabis-friendly venue, you can expect your reception site to decorated with cannabis-related décor. From earth-toned furnishings to ornamental plants to uphold the natural characteristic of marijuana, the reception will definitely be referring to the plant.

While weddings typically have an open bar until the wee hours of the morning, a cannabis-themed wedding entails having a full-blown budbar or a mini dispensary of sorts. Since these substances have intoxicating side effects, you may be asked to choose between serving alcohol and this plant.

Compared to alcohol, CBD products and cannabis-infused goodies may be seen as the better choice. Not only do these provide a laid-back and relaxing sensation, but these also provide a more communal experience which like-minded individuals can share with one another.

Before you set up your bar, it is important to keep in mind that THC and alcohol don’t mix well. Because of this, you might need to choose between marijuana or alcohol, or you can opt for a CBD reception complete with alcohol.

A Whole Lot of Fun

Apart from medical use, marijuana is also used for recreational purposes. Elevated towards a more sophisticated setting, like-minded individuals will surely have the time of their lives during this special day. Keep the celebrations going by sharing with other guests and by trying the different strains, that is, under the watchful eye and guidance of the event’s budtender.

Conclusion

Now that you know what you can expect from a wedding of this kind, you are surely excited about attending the ceremony of your plant enthusiast friends. Better yet, why not go ahead and plan your dream wedding by incorporating marijuana into the mix? This way you are sure that you, your partner and your friends will be able to celebrate the occasion complete with the goodness of this plant.
