As a bride and groom, you want your wedding to reflect you and everything you believe in – and if you are avid environmentalists, you should definitely consider this for your Big Day.
How to create an eco-friendly wedding? We have some tips for you – so read on and find out more.
- Edible escort cards. If you want to avoid wasting too much paper, consider the option of having eco-friendly, edible escort cards. They can even double as your wedding favors – and you can use your creativity to create something really pretty.
- Flowers in pots. You don’t have to use flowers that will just wither and die as soon as the wedding is over. In fact, using flowers in pots is a really pretty idea – they look fresh, they can really create a nice ambiance, and they can double as wedding favors. And even if you not all of your guests take one home, you can do this yourself and use them for the décor of your “newly married house”. It’s a win-win situation for everyone: nature, you, and your guests too!
- Environmentally friendly flower basket. The same aforementioned principle can be used for the creation of the flower girl’s basket as well. If you don’t want her to just waste beautiful blooms as she walks down the aisle, you can just ask her to hold a basket with flowers planted in it. Not only will this look adorable, but it will be more than eco-friendly as well.
- Wooden signs. Don’t use plastic for your wedding signs! Wood can look really pretty and it can provide your wedding with a very nice vibe. Work with your creativity to create wedding signs that really make the difference in terms of the ambiance created!
- No plastic. If you are an eco-friendly couple, you know just how harmful plastic can be to the environment – so it is important to avoid it as much as possible. Avoid using plastic items in your wedding décor and for your wedding foods and drinks – believe it or not, everything can be replaced with friendlier alternatives, including the cocktail straws.
