Whether to the sounds of the sea or the ambience of a stylish hall, getting married is an incredibly joyful, yet resource-intensive experience. Explore some simple, impactful ideas for curating your special day, in a way that is kind to the earth while still capturing all the elegance and magic.
Selecting Your Venue
Starting with the venue itself can be a great way to significantly reduce the environmental impact of your wedding. Many eco-conscious hotels around the world offer wedding packages intertwined with their sustainability policies. This includes dream wedding destinations like Maldives romantic resorts, with properties that are committed to preserving the islands’ natural beauty, like Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas.
Stay Local
Selecting local vendors for flowers, catering, and decorations is another great way to transform your wedding. Minimise transportation-related emissions with ease, as local vendors often have connections to nearby suppliers, making it easier to source seasonal flowers and locally sourced decor items.
Sustainable Leftovers
Additionally, consider incorporating biodegradable decorations, such as natural floral arrangements and cutlery, and finding ways to recycle, or donate items after the event can prevent waste.
Say I Do To Pre-Loved
Finally, opting for a vintage or pre-loved wedding gown, bridesmaid dress, or suit not only saves money but also reduces textile waste. Thrifted wedding attire supports sustainable fashion, with a touch of irreplaceable vintage charm.
