Eco-friendly Wedding Ideas?

Emily, on May 10, 2020 at 9:32 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 4

Has anyone done an eco-friendly focused wedding? What did you do? Environmentalism is pretty important to me and my FH (think vegetarian, composting, low-trash kinda people), and we would love to incorporate that into our wedding somehow!

    I saw a video about this! This couple had pretty much a zero waste wedding. Here’s the link to their wedding: https://youtu.be/kigsd3gpmjq


    I do wanna say that their wedding was extremely zero waste because their caterer let them use the leftover scraps of food as compost and that’s very rare I don’t think lots of caterers do that.
    First off for anything that needs paper you can make your own or buy seed paper to do it on. At least that can be planted. Or just cut out paper needs like invites can be online, etc.

    From the flowers to the decor, try to buy or rent things locally. FB Marketplace, Poshmark, and StillWhite, are great places to find a dress without the designer price tag, while giving a used wedding dress (sometimes you will find new ones too) another life. If you have a caterer, see if they can provide compostable or recyclable cutlery and plates. Lastly, limiting the guests who travel from out-of-state definitely makes a huge impact.
