5 Easy Ways For An Eco-friendly Wedding.
Eco-friendly weddings are not easy. Firstly, you have to have a plan. Therefore, you don’t have to compromise much on your perfect day just because you’re trying to make your wedding as green as possible.
Everything we throw away which can’t be recycled has a negative impact on the environment. If something isn’t biodegradable, it could take thousands of years to break down naturally.
Plastic is unsurprisingly at the heart of the issue.
Hosting a zero-waste wedding doesn’t have to be hard. Let’s discover how you can make aspects of your big day more eco-friendly.
Renting
Renting your dress or suit for your big day is a viable option. There are loads of branded designs available, and this means you won’t be responsible for the construction of a garment that isn’t made from sustainable resources.
If that doesn’t work for you, then try to find a wedding dress or a suit that has been manufactured from sustainable materials. Thankfully, satins, hemp-based silks, organic cotton knitted lace, and general fairtrade products are all common bases of modern dresses.
Daylight
Make the most of the daylight while you can. Have a daytime wedding. Summer and spring daytime weddings can be tricky, as the early afternoon is often the hottest and sunniest time of the day! So, don’t make the mistake of not considering the comfort of your guests. Providing shade and a hydration station might be key depending on the weather.
Outdoors
Having your wedding outdoors means you’ll be able to make the most of natural sunlight. Botanical gardens and refurbished barns offer the perfect venue for anyone looking to ensure their wedding locale is having the minimum impact possible on the surrounding ecosystem.
Buy Local
Buy local and buy seasonal flowers. This allows you to make a conscious and measured choice about the distance your flowers have to travel and the impact you might be having.
As with most sectors, there are a growing number of florists who are making sustainability a priority. You can spot a sustainable supplier by looking for those who source local or ethically certified flowers and don’t use floral foam or plastic. Also, simply ask your florist because they should be transparent about how they work and where their flowers come from.
One and Done
A central location for the ceremony and reception is very popular for eco-friendly weddings. Hosting both events in the same place means there’s minimal need for guests to travel from one place to the next. It sounds simple, but it’ll make a massive difference to your wedding’s overall carbon footprint.
Finally, planning an eco-friendly wedding isn’t easy. But if you follow the advice we’ve offered here, you’ll find it doesn’t have to be as much of a challenge as you may first suspect.
