WHAT IS THE TREE PROJECT:

We will be planting a tree for every new AH bride who purchases their special dress with us. We are also committed to planting a tree for every bride who has had their 2020 wedding postponed to the future.

We have access to carry this project out on a site in Saxthorpe, Norfolk, England.

A previous amenity site, we will be using the open spaces created by partial development and clearing to create new woodland. A key part of this project is the importance that it is us who carrying this out, not a tool to just offset or create press around sustainability.

This project is in line with ‘The Big Climate Fightback’ launched by The Woodland Trust and North Norfolk local scheme ‘110,000 trees’. A selection of mature trees will be planted alongside sapling trees directly from The Woodland Trust.

Why are we doing this?

Ultimately it is something we are passionate about supporting; the re-wilding and regeneration of biodiversity.

It is a crucial aspect of our future and to be able to support this through our dresses and our brides makes it even more special.

We look forward to sharing more as this project progresses. If you have any questions or suggestions do let us know at studio@andreahawkes.co.uk or on Instagram.

If you are planning your own tree project at home then feel free to share with us!
