You can help save the environment even on your wedding day. By having a green wedding, you can enjoy all the elements of a traditional wedding while making sure that you are minimizing any harm to the environment.
The first major consideration is the number of guests you are inviting. It is great to have a big wedding but it is expensive as well. A practical move would be to choose special friends, family, and relatives to invite for your wedding. This will cut down your expenses and also reduce the carbon footprint because fewer guest will mean less travel!
Try to make use of local ingredients and hire a local caterer who has enough knowledge about how to produce those sumptuous dishes you want but from local produce. You are not only helping the environment but you are also patronizing the local growers by buying their produce. These foods are relatively healthier compared to those from other places that may have preservatives in them.
Why not wear a vintage bridal gown instead of a new one that may contain many synthetic materials. Or try choosing a gown that is made from organic cotton or hemp. The wedding dress is one the most important elements of your wedding so you will be proud, knowing that what you are wearing not only looks great but is also good for the environment.
Instead of importing out of season flowers from abroad, you can make use of the local grown blooms. Some couples even use flowers from their own garden! Another tip to consider is sharing flowers with another couple who has the same wedding date as yours. After the celebration, you can also send your flowers to some nursing homes instead of throwing it away.
For your wedding favors, you can give away flower seeds which will also serve as a lasting memento for your wedding as your guests can enjoy for a long time the blooms that will result from these seeds.
Perhaps the most significant impact on the environment is you choice of wedding venue. Try to have your wedding outdoors and during the day. Make sure you ask the venue important questions like whether they participate in recycling or conserve water. If you really want to have the biggest impact on your green wedding day choose a venue that utilizes solar electric. This would mean your wedding day would run completely on clean energy and help aid in the fight against global warming.

I’ve now got an entirely new way of looking at weddings, as well as everyday things that can help reduce the impact on the environment. THANK YOU!!

First a green wedding,then a green baby> or is it called an organic baby/ anyway,good tips,thanks for the information….
That’s a very ideal kind of wedding and very environmental friendly. I’m sure that couples who are environmentalists would try to have a green wedding and might as well encourage other couples to do so. I am just wondering, how much would that cost, if you will look for a venue with utilizes solar electric power. I think the price for this is not the normal one. Anyway, thanks for this wonderful idea.
This blog is in time, since my friend is planning her wedding. She wants a simple but memorable wedding and a green wedding is a perfect suggestion for her. It’s not how many visitors you have… We must always remember, it’s the marriage the we should work on, not the wedding. But of course, wedding is already a tradition, so the best thing we can do is to make it simple and more meaningful and solemn. About hiring a local catering service is also a good idea, and for sure, they are less expensive. Less travel means less gas emission.
And don’t forget to wear something that is eco-friendly. And advice your guest to give eco-friendly gifts as well.
My boyfriend proposed to me and our plan. I am hoping for a late summer wedding but we have not done much planning. somebody had tips about when is the time to purchase the wedding dress?
