Green Decor and Sustainable Materials
When planning a sustainable and eco-friendly wedding, consider using decor made from recycled or upcycled materials. Choose biodegradable or reusable items such as natural flowers, potted plants, and compostable tableware. Avoid single-use plastics and opt for sustainable alternatives such as bamboo or recycled paper products.
Ethical Fashion and Sustainable Attire
Look for wedding attire made from sustainable fabrics such as organic cotton, hemp, or bamboo. Consider renting or buying second-hand dresses or suits to reduce the environmental impact. Support ethical fashion brands that prioritize fair labor practices and environmentally friendly production methods.
Low-Impact Venues and Eco-Friendly Vendors
Select a wedding venue that prioritizes sustainability, such as a LEED-certified building, a botanical garden, or a farm-to-table restaurant. Choose vendors who share your commitment to eco-friendliness, such as caterers who source local, organic ingredients and photographers who use digital rather than disposable film. Prioritize transportation options that minimize carbon emissions, such as carpooling or using electric vehicles.
