More couples have become aware of their wedding\u2019s environmental impact<\/strong> and are looking for ways to reduce<\/strong> it. Green is not a trend, it’s a lifestyle<\/strong> that more and more people embrace in everyday life and on special days, such as weddings.<\/p>\n

Green is Beautiful<\/h2>\n

One myth about sustainability we need to stop believing is that an eco-friendly choice<\/strong> is less quality and more expensive. On the contrary, a sustainable wedding<\/strong> can have more style<\/strong> and quality<\/strong> than a traditional one, and at the same time can be less expensive<\/strong>.\u00a0For example, we think of the choice to go digital with the wedding invitations<\/a>: this is an ecological choice<\/strong> (we reduce waste and impact on the planet), but at the same time it’s more convenient<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

How to Plan a More Sustainable Wedding<\/h2>\n

There are so many smart<\/strong> and stylish ways you can reduce the impact of your wedding. We have shared our best tips in this article.<\/a>\u00a0Here are just a few:<\/p>\n

Location<\/h3>\n

Travel is a big contributor to global emissions<\/a>. This combined with the fact that we are living through a pandemic means that a venue in your local area<\/strong> could be a better option than a destination wedding.<\/p>\n

When it comes to choosing a venue, opt for an eco-friendly location<\/strong><\/a>, like the many you can find on Ecobnb<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Clothing<\/h3>\n

Fashion<\/strong> is also one of the most polluting industries in the world<\/a>. Consider how you can still look incredible without doing unnecessary harm to the planet. For example, choose a vintage dress<\/strong>, rent your wedding attire, or opt for something pre-loved.<\/p>\n

You can also make a conscious choice to use ethical cosmetics which are natural and cruelty-free<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Buffet<\/h3>\n

No wedding would be complete without a beautiful menu<\/strong>, but how can you make sure your food<\/strong> is planet-friendly? Where possible, choose farm-to-table<\/strong> options, avoiding unnecessary transport and storage of fresh, organic food<\/strong><\/a> to eliminate the use of pesticides, and go vegetarian<\/strong> to reduce the impact of farming.<\/p>\n

Flowers & Decor<\/h3>\n

Flowers and decorations bring the \u201clook\u201d of your wedding together, but they do come at a cost \u2014 both financial and environmental. If you can, choose seasonal<\/strong> and local flowers<\/strong><\/a> which are grown in your region, even better go for potted plants which can be kept and reused. Decorations<\/strong> will only be used for a couple of hours so a kinder option here is to use rented items or pick up vintage<\/strong> or pre-loved decorations.<\/p>\n

Ceremony<\/h3>\n

There are many ways to reduce waste<\/strong> at your wedding. Keeping numbers down means you can enjoy a more intimate and environmentally friendly affair. You can also choose to host your wedding and reception at the same location to reduce CO2 emissions from transport or provide shuttle transportation from the ceremony to the reception space.<\/p>\n

Planning the wedding of your dreams doesn\u2019t have to cost the Earth. With a few conscious choices, you can host a beautiful event and feel good about it too.<\/p>\n
