Careful Thought and Planning
| Q | What is your advice on planning a sustainable wedding? |
| A | Caroline Green says: Keeping your wedding day sustainable requires thoughtful planning and conscious choices. Start by selecting a venue that aligns with eco-friendly practices, such as one with renewable energy sources, or at least one that offers an all-inclusive option to host your whole day on site, thus minimising transport needs. Ideally, try to choose a catering service that promotes locally-sourced, seasonal food for the menu, to minimise emissions from transportation, and support local farmers. Likewise, if your floral inspiration permits, try to select a florist that can obtain locally-grown, seasonal florals, rather than needing to source imported blooms. Where possible, try to hire wedding décor items, rather than buying new (this can also extend to wedding attire). You might also opt for digital invitations to reduce paper waste and utilise one of the many online wedding website options available to convey information about your day digitally, rather than using paper inserts. Don't feel you need to do it all, but small changes can make such a big difference in creating a memorable and environmentally conscious celebration while minimising your carbon footprint and setting a positive example for your guests. |
