When planning your wedding arrangements, don't forget
to consider the environment. Follow these 6 easy steps for an eco-friendly
wedding!
Do you love
nature? Are you among those who try to reduce waste and energy? Do you always
try to do things in the most environmentally friendly way? If so, you probably
are planning on having a green wedding. Here, we will give you 6 brilliant
ideas for a simple and effective green wedding.
Invitations
For environment
friendly invitations, you can have them printed on seeded paper. That way, when
the invite is discarded, it grows a plant. Isn’t that great? You can also opt
for digital invites, such as an event page on social media or a video message
from you and your partner.
Food
Food is an
essential part of having a green wedding. Make sure your wedding dinner doesn’t
contain any artificial colors or preservatives. Don’t use any kind of plastic
ware for serving. Make sure that no food is wasted. There are lot of NGOs and
volunteers in each city who can gather your leftovers and give it to the poor.
What better wedding gift than to give back to your community and help those in
need?
Carpool
Try to reduce
your carbon footprint by carpooling. Bring your friends and relatives in your
car along with you. The more the merrier! If your venue is outside of the city,
arrange a bus to bring your guests. Guests will be more than happy with this
arrangement.
Decoration
Since most of
your decorations will end up in the trash, try not to use decorations made of
plastic. Try to use natural and bio degradable materials. Flowers are always
the best decorations. Think pretty and environment friendly!
Dresses
You spent a lot
of time and money to find your dream wedding dress. Don’t let it sit in the
closet eating dust. Sell or rent it to other brides! This way, you can reduce
the energy it takes to manufacture new gowns. Let your dress be a dream for
someone else!
Gifts
Rather than
using non-biodegradable wrapping paper, you can use a recyclable material or
something reusable like a small bamboo basket with a cover. Instead of buying
synthetic clothes for your in laws or relatives, try to go for cotton or silk.
There are lot of
ways you can go green if you think about it. Reducing your impact on the
environment on your big day is easy. Start with these steps!
