Eco-friendly weddings

Something old, something new, something borrowed and something...GREEN?

Modern couples are putting a new spin on wedding traditions by considering the environmental impacts of a huge, fairytale wedding.

A few simple things can make a big difference to the environmental impact of your big day:
  • Keep it small - fewer guests will help your budget & reduce your impact on the environment.
  • Stay local - less travel equals less carbon emissions. Consider have the marriage ceremony & reception at the same location.
  • Choose food & flowers in season - cut down on food miles & enjoy produce at it's freshest best.
  • Offset the carbon emissions you produce on the day.
  • Find an open-minded venue and marriage celebrant to help you realise your dreams.
  • Have an ethical gift registry - guests to donate money to your favourite charity or environmental fund.
Choose wisely and your eco-friendly wedding can be both beautiful and environmentally responsible.
