There are literally HUNDREDS of ways to make sure your wedding is gentle towards nature - we found some of our favourite ideas and will share them with you here!
Bridal party attire (wedding dress, groom's suit - etc)
Look for a second-hand gown
Upcycle a family heirloom gown
Rent wedding gown / suit
Buy a suit which is practical to wear for functions going forward
Flowers
Choose in-season blooms, grown locally (not shipped in from overseas)
Ditch the floral foam
Use preserved "forever flowers" and gift them to guests at the end of the wedding (see below - local floral artist Secret Garden).
Catering & Cake
Look for locally sourced produce and food
Serve up seasonal foods. For instance, berries in summer, apples in winter
If you need to use disposable crockery, opt for something biodegradable like our palm leaf crockery
Use fabric napkins
Stationery & Paper Treats
Opt for digital invitations
Use recycled paper
Opt for biodegradable paper such as seed papers
Limit the stationery pieces to one and offer a website for more information
Ask guests to RSVP via a website or email
