Conscious Connections - West Midlands - Autumn 2026

Join us for a morning of purposeful connection at Homme House, a Grade II* listed country house set within 180 acres of gardens, historic parkland and woodland in rural Herefordshire, just outside Ledbury. With far-reaching views towards the Malvern Hills and Cotswolds, this beautiful estate provides the perfect backdrop for a session dedicated to making our businesses more positive for nature. As we step away from the peak season rush, this event is all about slowing down, reflecting, and exploring how we can leave the natural world better than we found it.

This isn't your average networking event. Conscious Connections are designed to be a "no-judgment" space where wedding pros can step away from their busy studios and offices to reconnect, share ideas, and focus on building businesses that are as kind to people as they are to the planet.

What's on the Agenda?

Nature & Biodiversity Talk and Grounds Tour: The Homme Team will lead an interactive talk on nature and biodiversity, followed by a tour around the grounds. Discover how this unique estate cares for its landscape — and pick up fresh inspiration for your own partnerships and client offerings. Weather permitting, you'll get a behind-the-scenes look at how this special space manages its environment and visitor experience.

Being Nature Positive in Business: Michelle Miles, Founder of the Sustainable Wedding Alliance, will walk us through practical ways our businesses can have a positive impact on nature — from simple everyday swaps to bigger commitments you can build into your offer. It's about finding realistic, achievable steps that fit the way you already work.

Community Connections: Meet new conscious businesses. Whether you are a photographer, florist, planner, celebrant, venue team or owner, this is the perfect opportunity to spark new collaborations and strengthen local ties before the winter rush begins.

Why Join Us? 

At the Sustainable Wedding Alliance, we believe in progress over perfection. Whether you are well into your sustainability journey or just starting to wonder how to make your business more mindful, you are welcome here.

Herefordshire is breathtaking in November, and there is no better backdrop than the serene landscape surrounding Homme House to refresh your perspective for the season ahead.
