We called sustainability a trend to watch in 2021 and we could not be happier to see it moving from a trend to a staple! So what’s different about 2023? Sustainable weddings are becoming more and more attainable across the board. No longer are we just talking about biodegradable cutlery, the big players from wedding dresses to engagement rings are stepping up to the plate. It’s easier for everyone to make sustainable choices — good news for all of us!
What are some tips to have a sustainable wedding?
Choose a venue that’s environmentally friendly. Look for venues that have green initiatives in place, like solar panels or water conservation efforts.
Go with a plant-based menu. Plant-based food has a smaller environmental footprint than meat-based options, so this is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint.
Use eco-friendly decor. Look for decor made from sustainable materials, like bamboo or recycled paper, and consider using potted plants or flowers instead of cut ones to reduce waste.
Choose vendors that are eco-conscious. Look for vendors who are committed to sustainability, like photographers who use digital cameras instead of film or bakers who use organic ingredients.
Use eco-friendly invitations and stationery. Consider using recycled paper or digital invitations to reduce waste.
Encourage guests to carpool or use public transportation. This will reduce your carbon footprint and help the environment.
Consider making a donation to an environmental charity in lieu of favors. This is a great way to give back and make your wedding even more meaningful.
Pick your wedding dress from a growing selection of sustainable wedding dresses.
Opt for lab-grown engagement and wedding rings instead of diamonds.
There are so many ways to make your wedding more sustainable, there’s really no reason not to consider at least a few of them. By choosing eco-friendly options and being mindful of your impact, you can have a beautiful and meaningful wedding that’s also good for the planet.
