Weddings are a time to celebrate family and the joining of two people in love. However, with environmental issues on the rise, it is important to be conscious of our choices and how they impact the planet. Fortunately, sustainable weddings are possible! Here is how to make your 2023 wedding eco-friendly.

Choose an Eco-Friendly Venue

The venue you choose for your wedding will have a significant impact on the environment. Look for venues that offer sustainable options like solar power, local organic food, reusable items, and waste reduction strategies. If you’re having a destination wedding, consider choosing an eco-lodge or resort that prioritizes sustainability initiatives such as rainwater catchment systems or composting services.

Go Digital

Technology can be great for reducing paper waste! Consider sending out digital save-the-dates and invitations instead of traditional paper ones. You can also create a website or app to share details about the wedding with guests. This will help them have all the information they need in one place while eliminating any excess paper waste associated with printed materials.

Local Flower Displays

Buying locally grown flowers is not only cheaper than buying imported flowers but it also helps reduce your carbon footprint by cutting down on transportation costs associated with bringing in exotic blooms from far away places. To make sure you’re getting local flowers, look for vendors who specialize in sourcing locally grown flower varieties and ask if they have seasonal blooms available during your wedding season.

Having an eco-friendly wedding doesn’t mean sacrificing style or elegance! With some creative planning, you can create a beautiful event that is kind to the planet – without breaking the bank! By considering green options when selecting a venue, using digital solutions for communication, and choosing local flowers for displays, you can make sure that your wedding day is both memorable and sustainable!
