Choosing a sustainable venue and location
Consider holding the wedding at a venue with eco-friendly practices, such as LEED-certified buildings or those powered by renewable energy. Outdoor locations like parks or gardens can also minimize the need for additional decor.
Utilizing eco-friendly invitations and stationery
Opt for digital invitations or choose recycled paper for printed ones. Look for stationery companies that use sustainable materials and eco-friendly printing processes.
Opting for sustainable decor and floral arrangements
Use reusable or biodegradable decor items, and opt for potted plants or locally-sourced flowers for centerpieces. Consider renting decor items to minimize waste.
Serving locally-sourced and organic food and drinks
Choose a caterer that prioritizes locally-sourced, organic, and seasonal ingredients. Offer a selection of organic wines and locally-brewed beers to reduce the carbon footprint of the event.
Using eco-conscious wedding attire and accessories
Look for wedding attire made from sustainable fabrics, or consider renting or buying second-hand. Choose jewelry and accessories from ethical and eco-friendly brands.
Implementing green transportation and accommodations
Encourage guests to carpool or use public transportation, and provide information on eco-friendly lodging options. Consider offsetting the carbon footprint of travel through donations to environmental organizations.
