Planning a wedding is a joyous experience, but it can also have a significant environmental impact. From waste and carbon emissions to the resources used for food, flowers, and decor, weddings can take a toll on the planet. However, with a little mindful planning, you can celebrate your love in a way that’s kind to the Earth. Here are some tips and tricks to help you create a beautiful, sustainable wedding.

Choose Eco-Friendly Invitations

Start your journey with sustainable wedding invitations. Opt for digital invites or printed invitations on recycled paper using eco-friendly inks. For a creative touch, consider seed paper, which guests can plant to grow wildflowers after your wedding.

Go Local with Flowers and Food

Selecting local and seasonal flowers not only reduces your carbon footprint but also supports local farmers and florists. For your menu, work with caterers who prioritize locally sourced, organic ingredients. Not only is this better for the environment, but it also ensures fresher, more delicious meals for your guests.


ree

Embrace Reusable and Recyclable Decor

Instead of single-use decorations, choose items that can be reused or recycled. Rent or borrow decor items such as tableware, linens, and centerpieces. Consider using potted plants as decor that can double as gifts for your guests, or repurpose ceremony flowers for the reception.

Opt for a Green Venue

Choosing a venue that’s committed to sustainability is one of the most impactful decisions you can make. Look for venues that use energy-efficient lighting, have recycling programs, and prioritize sustainable practices. See if they have in-house decor for rent! No need to buy everything and have nowhere to put it back at home- they will make sure your special day is decorated and eco-conscious.

Dress with Sustainability in Mind

When it comes to your wedding attire, there are several sustainable options. Consider wearing a vintage or second-hand wedding dress or supporting designers who use sustainable fabrics. After the wedding, donate or resell your dress to give it a second life. Our beautiful bride: Bridget, that's pictured below, found her stunning dress at a consignment shop!

Say "I Do" to Ethical Rings

Consider rings made from recycled metals or those sourced from jewelers committed to ethical practices. Lab-grown diamonds are another sustainable option, offering the same beauty and brilliance without the environmental and ethical concerns associated with traditional mining.
