Our wedding day is the biggest day of our lives, so naturally, we want everything to be perfect. This big, extravagant party can be harmful to the environment. Here are some ways to plan an eco-friendly wedding and ways to reduce waste on your big day.

The Number of Guests

Having a smaller wedding allows you to reduce waste because fewer people will be traveling to your wedding. Good news is a small wedding can be more intimate.

Eco-Friendly Wedding Dress

Renting your wedding dress and other wedding outfits, like suits and bridesmaid’s dresses, will reduce the environmental impact.

Invitations

Embrace digital technology and opt for online invitation instead. You’ll be saving the planet by limiting the amount of paper you will be using.

Food Waste

Minimizing food waste at your wedding is probably the most important thing. One option is to give takeaway boxes for leftovers to your guests. You can also feed your catering and event staff with the extra food. Another thing you can do is to compost the food after the wedding.
