How to make your wedding more sustainable
Today, I’m here to chat about something that’s close to my heart and, hopefully, yours too – making your wedding day more sustainable… Preferably as green as the rolling hills of our lovely countryside!
We all know weddings can be a bit of a do for the environment, but with a few savvy choices, we can celebrate your love without leaving too hefty a footprint on our dear old planet. So, let’s dive into some top tips for a more sustainable wedding day.
Choose Ethical Wedding Suppliers
First things first, the folks you choose to bring your wedding dreams to life can make a big difference. Opt for suppliers who are not just about the glitz and glam but also care deeply for our environment. From caterers to decorators, every choice matters.
For those stunning vintage vibes, check out Samphire Vintage Props, Epic Event Hire, Synched Events, Sam Race, and Belles and Beaus Wedding Styling. They offer gorgeous wedding equipment for hire, so you can have that dream setup without the waste.
Savour a Slice of Sustainability
Who says you can’t have your (wedding) cake and eat it too? Buns of Fun is whipping up some of the most scrumptious plant-based cakes that are as kind to your taste buds as they are to the planet. Trust me, these cakes are a feast for the eyes and the soul, proving that going green doesn’t mean skimping on flavour or beauty.
Dress to Impress
When it comes to wedding attire, think rental or eco-friendly. For the gents, George Goddard in Kings Lynn and Slaters in Norwich offer some dapper options. And for the bridal party, Tatty’s Original is where it’s at for stunning, sustainable choices. By hiring or choosing garments made with love and care for the environment, you’re not just looking good; you’re doing good, too.
Work With Planet-Loving Pros
Don’t forget, every little bit helps, including your choice of photographer (wink, wink). Yours truly has teamed up with Carbon Neutral Britain & Trees for Life to make every click count towards a greener tomorrow. With each wedding I capture, a tree is planted, making your special day part of a bigger picture – a healthier, happier planet.
So, there you have it, folks – a few nuggets of wisdom on how to tie the knot with a lighter touch on our Earth. It’s all about making choices that reflect not just the love you have for each other but also the love you share for this beautiful world we call home.
