Choose a sustainable venue
Look for venues that prioritize sustainability, such as LEED-certified buildings, green spaces, or eco-friendly hotels. Consider outdoor locations to minimize energy usage and take advantage of natural lighting.
Opt for eco-friendly invitations and stationery
Choose recycled paper or digital invitations to reduce paper waste. Look for printers that use eco-friendly inks and materials, and consider including RSVP options online to further minimize paper usage.
Use locally sourced and seasonal flowers and food
Support local farmers and reduce the carbon footprint of your wedding by choosing flowers and food that are in season and sourced from nearby vendors. This also adds a personal touch to your ceremony.
Consider eco-friendly wedding attire and jewelry
Look for wedding attire made from sustainable materials such as organic cotton, hemp, or bamboo. Consider vintage or second-hand dresses and suits, or choose to rent attire instead of purchasing new. Opt for ethically sourced and conflict-free jewelry.
Plan for zero-waste and plastic-free decorations and favors
Choose reusable or biodegradable decorations and favors, such as potted plants, seed packets, or handmade items. Avoid single-use plastics and opt for sustainable alternatives, such as bamboo or recycled materials. Consider donating leftover food and flowers to minimize waste.
