Kara Ladd-Blum, diagnosed with synovial sarcoma in 2016, found her path to wellness through increased awareness of her body and spiritual awakening. Now cancer-free, she actively consults for wellness brands and features mindful living on her podcast. As she plans her wedding with Brandon Blum, they aim to incorporate these wellness practices, including meditation and healing crystals, into their ceremony. The trend of infusing health and mindfulness into weddings is on the rise, with many couples seeking to reflect their lifestyles and values during such celebrations, supported by event planners embracing this approach.
I became hyper-aware of what I was putting on and in my body, and that evolved into this spiritual awakening, said Ms. Ladd-Blum, 32, of Brooklyn, who has been cancer-free for eight years.
I feel like weddings are just an extension of people's energies, Ms. Ladd-Blum said. We both love, live and breathe that world.
It definitely has weaved its way into weddings and events, said Ali Phillips, the owner of Engaging Events by Ali in Chicago.
