A spring wedding is already a magical affair, but a cannabis bride knows her wedding will be next level. If you and your partner want to celebrate your love in a way that truly represents you, while creating an elevated experience for your guests, consider planning a cannabis-friendly wedding. From sophisticated cannabis-themed decor to infused catering and interactive experiences, HME has everything you need to create an unforgettable celebration. First Things First, The Venue The first step in planning a canna-friendly wedding is securing a venue that allows cannabis consumption. Many states with legal recreational / adult-use cannabis have consumption-friendly  venues that permit responsible use, whether it be through designated smoking areas, outdoor spaces, or private properties. Consider: Outdoor Venues:  Gardens, vineyards, private parks, country clubs, and private estates make beautiful options that are more flexible about on-site cannabis use. Cannabis-Friendly Event Spaces:  While extremely rare, some venues cater specifically to cannabis-friendly events and may already have regulations in place. Places like legal consumption lounges are now offering their space for personal rental as well. Private Residences:  The safest bet is if you or a loved one owns a spacious property.  Custom Cannabis Bar from HME HME knows how to create an atmosphere that exudes romance and sophistication while paying homage to cannabis. Our custom cannabis bars are an easy and fun way to offer additional consumption options that fit into your wedding theme. As seen here at a recent wedding, cannabis bars can include the following: Hand-packed pre-roll station:  Our trained acolytes will be on site to hand stuff cones for your guests. You can offer different strains and let your guests pick their experience! Equipment Rental:  Wow your guests with sophisticated equipment for their consumption. From the Stündenglass to the Zenco tap, there is a little something for everyone. Personalization that Pops:  Your guests will be delighted taking home a custom joint container that fits your weddings overall theme. Work with our Creative director to design your containers. Edible Centerpieces:  Arrange beautiful displays of cannabis-infused chocolates, gummies, or beautifully jarred buds as part of your tablescape. Elevated Catering for a New Take on Edibles Forget the brownies of yesterday, a cannabis wedding needs gourmet infused culinary delights. HME will work with experienced cannabis vendors to craft an enticing menu that accommodates all guests. Consider: Infused Hors d'Oeuvres:  Micro-dosed canapés like cannabis-infused honey on cheese boards or THC-infused mini sliders. Signature Mocktails & Cocktails:  Offer THC- or CBD-infused mocktails alongside regular cocktails for a balanced experience. Infused Dessert Bar:  Consider cannabis-infused cupcakes, chocolates, or even a multi-tiered cannabis cake. The Guest Experience is the Priority There are so many ways you can incorporate cannabis on your big day to create a memorable experience: Leafy Touches:  Add some cannabis leaves into your bouquet or boutonnieres, table arrangements, or even your ceremony arch for a small yet sophisticated touch. State & Venue Laws:  HME will help ensure that your wedding will abide by all State and local laws Non-Infused Alternatives:  Make sure to keep water on hand in consumption areas, and make sure to offer plenty of non infused options. Designated Consumption Areas:  You’re going to want a secluded area for guests to partake. Away from other guests and children. Make sure to choose a well ventilated area if you’re not consuming outdoors. Clear Communication:  Make sure to let all guests know that you will have consumption on site. This prevents any mishaps or confusion for guests about what is expected. Photography and Videography Ideas for Your Big Day A cannabis wedding is special because it is personal to the bride and groom. Cannabis, usually a personal choice, is also a uniting activity for many couples. You are going to want to capture this unity through photography or through videos. Smoke-Enhanced Wedding Portraits:  Sneak away from your guests to have a personal smoke break with your new spouse. Have your photographer capture your first smoke as a married couple! Candid Guest Pictures:  Document your guests being dazzled by the custom cannabis bar by HME. Whether they’re using one of our high-tech machines, or simply puffing on a joint, these moments will make for cool pictures.

Valentine’s Day. The one day a year you can be shameless about your feelings toward your spouse. We know how important it is to show love and how difficult it can be to pull out all the stops. This Valentine’s Day, I along with HME have put together some romantic and surprising ways to incorporate cannabis into your Valentine’s Day plans. And as always, with the signature sophistication that HME is known for. Whether you’re whipping up your own dinner at home, or taking them out for a night on the town, we’ve got you covered with some sweet and simple ideas. Infused Chocolate Covered Strawberries Chocolate covered strawberries are all the rage, especially during Valentine’s Day. Here’s a fun idea for you and your spouse! Head to your local dispensary and pick up an infused Chocolate bar (we recommend Natures Grace and Wellness Chocolates). You can either melt it in a bowl and dip the strawberries in as you eat, or dip them and refrigerate for a less messy option. There are a number of different flavors to choose from, so go crazy! Take a Love Pill Together Smoking and vaping are the usual ways to share a sesh, but if you’re looking for a unique way to elevate with your boo, pick up some Love Pill’s by 1906 New Highs . These fast acting and easy to use pills serve as a self proclaimed aphrodisiac. Turn up the heat, but make sure you read the product label completely. We recommend you check out their website for full effects. It is an equal opportunity aphrodisiac, useful on all genders. But make sure you don’t take it until AFTER dinner, or you run the risk of skipping it altogether. Serve up a Zenco for Two Sometimes going back to someones place for a drink doesn’t have to include a drink at all. Gone are the days where you and your boo shared a dab rig, with the Zenco vaporizer you can give the sleek appearance of serving up a couple of drinks. It’s a great investment for those who are used to dabbing with a group, or in a couple. Buy an additional glass attachment and you’ll be serving up dabs for you and your special someone. Pick the Right Strains Picking up some flowers for that special someone? You might be want to select strains that promote love and good feelings. And while that may be just about any strains for some people, there are definitely some strains that have earned a reputation. Grand Daddy Purple is one of the most popular strains for couples. And you can Google why. Other notable mentions are Weed Cake, Mimosa, and even Sour Deisel. All strains that have reviewed highly for arousal. Hand Roll with Love Nothing is more romantic then someone rolling your joint up. In fact for many, it’s a love language. This Valentine’s Day, opt for a unique twist on the centuries old joint. Visit your local smoke shop and you will find a wide array of themed cones. Some smoke shops even keep seasonal designs in stock. If you can’t seem to find any, Blazy Susans are almost always available. Make sure to choose high quality rolling papers. Some rolling papers, while pretty, are not the best quality. End the Night with an Infused Massage One of the best parts of experimenting with cannabis is all of the new amazing products that are available to us. If you have yet to try an infused massage oil, there is no better time than Valentine’s Day. Remember that as a topical, you won’t likely experience a “high” effect. Still, there are many benefits to using infused Massage oil which include anxiety relief, pain relief, and can even promote arousal. There are many names on the market, we do highly suggest you do your research and try a few different ones to find what will work for you. Cannabis consumers are unique in our love for cannabis. Surprise that cannabis lover in your life with experiences they will really enjoy. Whether it’s a walk in the park with a joint, or an at home infused dinner for two. And if all else fails, call HME to personally curate an experience for two. Happy Valentine’s Day from the High-minded Team!

It’s your big day and you can smoke weed if you want to! That’s the attitude many brides are taking as they look for ways to incorporate cannabis… From fragrant bouquets, to infused toasts, there are a number of tasteful and even sophisticated ideas that we want to share with you. Make it a Couples Activity Choosing the weed for your wedding should be a collaborative effort between the life partners. What does each partner like? What are their favorite strains? How do they like to consume? These are all important questions to ask yourself before heading to the dispensary. Create a personal tasting where you and your partner can try out different strains and different ways to consume. Think of a wine tasting, but with cannabis. The Custom Cannabis Bar at Your Wedding An open bar makes some people happy, well an open cannabis bar will do the same. Creating a designated weed bar will add a special touch to the occasion, providing a non-alcoholic alternative. Your weed bar can include pre-rolls, bongs, and even other devices. Guests will love to steal away for a puff if they are able to do it in a safe and sanitary way. High-minded Events will not only create a customized cannabis bar, you will be assigned an experienced budtender that will help your guests with their consumption. Schedule a consultation to hear all your options. A Fragrant Surprise in Your Bouquet It might sound crazy, but you can work with your florist to create a bouquet with fresh cannabis.
