Most people today spend a lot of time checking to ensure the products they purchase meet their expectations of protecting the environment. But what about your wedding? Shouldn’t brides and grooms be concerned about their wedding?
The Environmental Issues with Weddings
Dream weddings are often in a far away, exotic locale. While this brings elements of beauty and excitement to one of your most important and cherished events, it’s costly for the environment.
How is it Costly?
All of your wedding party and your guests need to board a plane to fly a great distance and likely have to ship wedding presents to the location. That’s a lot of carbon. Additionally, that location might not be so picky about environmentally friendly decorations and meals.
Make Your Wedding Friendly for the Earth
These days we do have friends everywhere. It’s common to want to invite your friends who live in other countries to your big day. However, most of your family and friends live somewhat nearby. So, having your wedding in the middle of your city, so most people will be able to drive in or take public transportation, helps a great deal.
Wedding Vendors
There are many vendors you’ll use to make this wedding a success. Pick those who sustainably source and buy mostly eco-friendly, natural products for decorations, dinnerware, photography settings and flowers.
It helps a great deal to select local businesses. Not only is this building your local community, but a local vendor will add a hometown flair that you can’t get anywhere else.
Sustainable Invitations
Consider doing digital invitations. You can do a lot more with them, like add videos, and no trees need to die for it. Be sure to let people know you’re making many sustainable choices so that Mother Nature can be as delighted as you are about your wedding ceremony and reception.
