Choosing a sustainable venue and vendors
Consider hosting your wedding at a venue with eco-friendly practices, such as a LEED-certified building or a sustainable farm. Look for vendors who prioritize sustainability, such as florists who use locally sourced and organic flowers, and photographers who use digital rather than disposable film.
Reducing waste with eco-friendly invitations and decor
Opt for electronic invitations or recycled paper for your wedding invites. Choose decor items that can be reused or repurposed, such as potted plants or biodegradable confetti. Consider renting or borrowing items instead of buying new.
Opting for sustainable and ethical food and drink options
Work with a caterer who sources ingredients locally and uses sustainable practices in food preparation. Offer organic and fair trade options for beverages, and consider a vegan or vegetarian menu to reduce the environmental impact of your wedding.
Incorporating eco-conscious fashion and beauty choices
Choose attire made from sustainable materials, such as organic cotton or bamboo silk. Opt for vintage or second-hand wedding attire, or support designers who prioritize ethical and eco-friendly production. Use natural and cruelty-free beauty products for hair and makeup.
Offsetting carbon emissions and giving back to the environment
Calculate the carbon footprint of your wedding and offset it by investing in renewable energy or reforestation projects. Instead of traditional favors, consider donating to an environmental charity or giving guests a small plant to take home.
