Environmentally friendly weddings

Your wedding is the kind of event that will never be forgotten – the kind of event that speaks about you and who you are, the kind of event that you will cherish in your memory for the many decades to come.

Naturally, you want your wedding to mirror your own beliefs and the things that define you – as individuals and as a couple.

What if, for example, you are a very environmentally-friendly couple? Is there any way you can incorporate that into your wedding?

Yes! And here are some of the best ideas to help you create the perfect environmentally friendly wedding;

· Eco-friendly baskets for the flower girls. If you decide to have a flower girl (or more) at your wedding, you should replace their traditional flower baskets with something that is friendlier with the environment. For instance, baskets filled with flowers that can be planted afterwards would be a much better choice than baskets filled with flowers that will wither in a couple of days.

· Paper flower bouquets. If you don’t want to hold a classic bridal bouquet, why not replace it with something that is both avant-garde and environmentally friendly? For instance, a specialist can help you create stunning paper flower arrangements that are biodegradable and recyclable.

· The eco menu. If you want your wedding to be environmentally friendly, don’t forget to create a wedding menu that is inspired by the best and most delicious local products. Not only will these be healthier, and taste better but including local produce in your wedding will help the local economy as well!

· Say NO to plastic. Most people don’t fully realize this, but plastic is one of the worst enemies against the environment. To avoid being part of the problem, avoid using plastic in your wedding (replace plastic straws with paper ones, for example, avoid using plastic water bottles for your guest, instead have drink stations, etc.).
