Flowers are a must and a big part of the wedding day. But finding sustainable wedding flowers doesn’t have to be hard. We recommend speaking to your florist about where they source their flowers and keep it local. Another way to make the most of your local florals is reusing them, bring the flowers from your ceremony decorating your wedding arch to the vases that are part of your centrepieces. You can even gift them at the end of the night to someone on the table – making a game out of it with the help of your DJ is always fun!
The menu is always a big decision for your wedding. Our suggestion for your caterers is to talk to them about where they source their food and how they manage reducing food waste. Keeping it local and making sure food is composted or donated (depending on whether you have a set menu or buffet) are good ways to keep your menu eco-friendly. Another way is to opt for more veggie options for the guests!
Decorations you can reuse and recycle
Following on from reusing your flowers, they aren’t the only decorations you can make sure are reusable. Hiring your decorations rather than buying is a good way to make sure they don’t go to waste. Some other ideas for keeping it planet-friendly, opting for dried flowers or biodegradable confetti, recycling old bottles to be used as centrepieces, using bamboo or biodegradable plates and cutlery, wooden name places the guests can take with them, and using seeded paper for invitations, thank you cards etc, so your guests can plant them once they get home.
Be creative with wedding favours
Eco-friendly wedding favours are always a cute touch when you sit down at the reception and it’s a great time to get creative. Spend some time making your own, with soaps, bath salts, sweets etc or package up some cute wildflower seeds for your guests to take away with them. Making them and putting them together is a great way to get your bridal party together as a pre-wedding activity too.
