The eco-wedding is a nice touch to signify that it’s not just any wedding, but the one where you both make effort in saving Earth. Incorporating elements of wedding planning can make the event even more special and memorable.

• Choose a Sustainable Venue: Choosing a facility with environmentally sustainable practices is where to start. Garden View, Farm or Beach Wedding locations are beautiful by nature so not much decoration needed. If indoor is more your style research green certified locations or find a venue that uses renewable energy and has recycling programs.
• Eco-Conscious Invitations: Choose e-invitations to minimize use of paper and waste for the more traditionalists out there who prefer a proper physical invite through their letter boxes go with recycled or plantable paper embedded with seeds which they can replant after our sprung wedding. Choose soy, and vegetable based inks which are less harmful to the environment when compare with traditional ink;
• Eco-Friendly Décor: Decorate using natural and recyclable materials Succulents, potted plants and simple herb pots can double as fabulous centerpieces that your guests will love to take home and keep alive! Steer clear of single-use plastics, so opt for biodegradable or reusable replacements. An example is upcycled and repurposed decor which can help you lend a unique touch, the kind that ties all its elements to your personality.
• Local and Organic Catering: Opt for a caterer who provides locally-based, organic and seasonal food. In addition to this, it helps the local farmers and also decreases greenhouse emissions from food transport. Further extends less environmental impact, providing vegetarian or vegan menu. Avoid food wastage by portioning wisely and giving away the remaining to nearby shelters.
• Eco-Friendly Favors: Hand out eco-friendly favors your guests will enjoy and re-use. Suggestions: Seed packets, reusable tote bags or homemade jams and preserves. Say no to plastic packings and buy items that made recyclable or biodegradable.
• Green Transportation: Advise your guests to carpool or take the bus and minimize emissions. Organize a shuttle service to collect guests and take them home from the venue. Arrive in style at your ceremony by bicycle, horse-drawn carriage or – if you’re so lucky to live close enough the big day venue-on foot.
• Sustainable Honeymoon: LEGO lovers, this creative honeymoon idea is right up your alley! Search eco-resorts along with hotels that feature green certifications, whilst participating in activities which benefit local communities and the environment. Balance your travel carbon footprint with voluntary contributions to environmental projects.
• Reduce and Recycle: Strive to eliminate waste throughout planning and on the day of as well, recycle wherever you can. Ensure that recycling bins are visible and easy to find at your venue, and source vendors who will partner with you in your sustainability objectives.
