Eco friendly wedding tips?
Hey all
I am planning a super eco friendly wedding, and am fast running out of ideas. here is what I am doing so far- please give me your input and more ideas!!
-local dj to cut down on gas used for his travel (same with the caterer and photograper)
-locally sourced food (from the caterer) and organic and free range when at all possible
-outdoor ceremony with acoustic music (no electricity needed)
-recyclable platesl, napkins, cutlery made from bamboo
-my gown is organic cotton
-the confetti being thrown is eco friendly and totally biodegradeable when it gets wet
-the confetti is being given out in seeded paper cones that grow flowers when you plant them
-no favors, a donation is being made to a local sick kids hospital instead (guests will be made aware of this by cards placed at their tables)
-invites are printed on “tree free” paper cards, postage being used is bought and a donation made to the world wildlife fund…
-flowers used are local and in season…
This a growing trend and personally, I love it!
1) Maybe for wedding gifts you could ask for people to buy ‘Carbon Offset Points’ so that your wedding can be a carbon neutral event.
2)You could use Soy or Beeswax candles for lighting, they have been shown to be less carbon producing that the standard petroleum candles.
3) If you wanted an alternative favor you could give a small seedling or seed packets as gifts.
4) Donate any left over food to a homeless shelter
5) Use local beer and wine producers for beverages, cutting down on transport costs and carbon emmissions.
Just a few suggestions.
Good luck with your earth friendly wedding!
