Choosing an eco-friendly venue
Consider outdoor locations, LEED-certified buildings, or venues with sustainable practices in place. Look for spaces that utilize renewable energy sources and have recycling and composting programs.
Sustainable catering and menu options
Opt for locally sourced, organic, and seasonal ingredients. Choose a caterer that focuses on reducing food waste and offers plant-based menu options. Consider serving tap water instead of bottled water to minimize plastic waste.
Green decor and floral arrangements
Use potted plants or potted herbs as centerpieces, which can double as wedding favors. Choose in-season, locally grown flowers or consider using dried flowers or silk alternatives to reduce the environmental impact.
Eco-conscious wedding attire
Look for wedding attire made from sustainable fabrics such as organic cotton, hemp, or bamboo. Consider renting or buying second-hand attire, or choose outfits that can be worn again for other occasions.
Reducing waste and carbon footprint
Opt for digital invitations and wedding websites instead of paper invitations. Provide recycling and composting bins at the venue, and consider using biodegradable or reusable tableware and decorations. Encourage carpooling or provide shuttle services to reduce transportation emissions.
