Planning a wedding is a joyous occasion, but it can also be a wasteful one. With sustainability at the forefront of many couples’ minds, an eco-friendly wedding is becoming increasingly popular. Here are our top tips to help you plan a green and responsible celebration of love.
1. Choose a Green Venue Opt for a venue that prioritizes sustainability. Look for locations that have eco-friendly practices such as recycling, energy-efficient lighting, and water conservation measures. Outdoor weddings in natural settings like parks, beaches, or gardens can also minimize the need for additional decorations and lighting.
2. Eco-Friendly Invitations Consider digital invitations or opt for recycled paper invitations from Metro Repro. They offer eco-friendly printing services that use recycled materials and soy-based inks, reducing the environmental impact of your wedding invitations.
3. Sustainable Decorations Use natural and reusable decorations such as potted plants, candles, and handmade items. Avoid single-use plastics and opt for biodegradable or reusable tableware and decorations.
4. Choose Seasonal and Local Catering Opt for a menu that features seasonal, local, and organic ingredients. This not only reduces the carbon footprint associated with transporting food but also supports local farmers and reduces waste.
5. Eco-Friendly Wedding Attire Consider wearing a pre-loved or vintage wedding dress, or choose to rent attire instead of buying new. For bridesmaids and groomsmen, select outfits that can be worn again on other occasions.
6. Sustainable Transportation Encourage carpooling, use electric or hybrid vehicles, or provide shuttle services to reduce the environmental impact of transportation to and from the venue.
7. Zero-Waste Favors Instead of traditional wedding favours, consider giving guests something useful and sustainable, such as potted plants, reusable tote bags, or locally sourced edible treats.
8. Donate or Compost Leftovers Rather than letting leftover food go to waste, arrange for it to be donated to a local shelter or composted to reduce landfill waste.
Planning an eco-friendly wedding doesn’t mean sacrificing style or elegance. With thoughtful planning and these tips, you can have a beautiful wedding that is also kind to the planet. Remember, every small step counts in making your special day not only memorable but also environmentally responsible.

“Fantastic customer service. I was a bit of a berk when PDF'ing my Master's Diss and the appendix was blurry so they reprinted it first thing the next morning for me. They even went through the individual appendices with me on the phone to check they were all ok before finalising it and sending it to reprint. Heroes!”
