Hi! We're Green Manatee
by Zoe BinningHi!Q We're Gren Manatee…and we are a sustainable and eco-friendly online shop selling wedding favours & wedding gifts.
Together we are determined to change the way that British couples think about and plan for their weddings! Over the years, we have both had that nasty knotty feeling in our stomachs every time we see the amount of disposable ‘tat’ brought into every wedding and thrown out at the end.
We can’t wait to share this exciting journey with you all and promise to keep you up to date with all of our decisions, ideas, thoughts, mistakes (we’re definitely going to make some of those!) and successes (hopefully we’ll have lots more of these!) along the way.
