Summer in the UK is the peak of wedding season. In 2026, the modern couple is prioritising sustainability and inclusivity. When planning a celebration, the details matter—especially the wedding favours left at each place setting to thank guests for their presence.
At Kakoa, we have seen a significant rise in couples choosing our plant-based chocolates for their big day. Here is why ethical, vegan confectionery is the smartest choice for your summer event.
Inclusivity Without Compromise
One of the greatest challenges of wedding planning is catering to various dietary requirements. By choosing Kakoa’s vegan chocolates, you are automatically providing a luxury option that is suitable for:
-
Vegans and Vegetarians.
-
Those with dairy or lactose intolerances.
-
Guests who appreciate a premium, handmade artisan treat.
Instead of having to buy separate "specialist" favours for a handful of guests, you can offer the same award-winning quality to everyone. This ensures that every guest feels equally valued and no one feels like an afterthought when they sit down at the table.
The Aesthetic of a Summer Wedding
A summer wedding demands vibrant, beautiful presentation. Our truffles, such as the Jaffa Orange Dark Truffles or our White Vanilla truffles, provide a stunning visual element to your tablescape. Unlike mass-produced chocolates, our handmade pieces have a craft aesthetic that complements a high-end wedding, garden party, or corporate summer event.
Supporting Blue Carbon on Your Big Day
Many 2026 couples are looking for ways to reduce the carbon footprint of their wedding without sacrificing luxury. By choosing Kakoa, your wedding favours contribute to our Seagrass Restoration projects.
It is a wonderful talking point for your guests—knowing that the chocolate they are enjoying is helping to protect the UK’s coastlines and restore vital underwater forests. This "Blue Carbon" initiative is a high-impact way to ensure your celebration leaves a positive legacy for the planet.
Ordering for Large Events
Whether you are hosting an intimate micro-wedding or a 200-person marquee event, we recommend planning your chocolate delivery at least 4 weeks in advance during the busy July period. We will work with you to ensure your chocolates arrive in our temperature-controlled packaging, perfectly timed for your celebration to ensure they remain in pristine condition despite the summer heat.
