"People often buy wedding gifts for their friends or family at our stores, so we are excited to partner with Wed Altered to reach more of those socially conscious consumers."
Fair Trade Winds offers a unique wedding registry experience for couples who are planning a wedding. They can be sure that the products they select will reflect their own ethical values.
