Eco-friendly wedding ideasPosted by Sarah, on January 26th, 2010
Opting for an eco-friendly wedding is great way to start your lives together. By opting for sustainable options, you can save yourself some time and money, while protecting the planet.
Invitations
The best solution is the e-vite, but try to steer clear of the mass email. Minimally, design a .pdf to your guests, instead of a simple email. If you want to send the paper versions, be sure to make it recycled.
Ceremony
Save on flowers by getting wed amongst beautiful natural foliage. If you’re having an outdoor wedding, choose one with a venue in bloom.
Location
Choose a destination that is the best option for ease of travel. The further they travel, the more of a footprint they leave.
Favours
Try our homemade truffles or make little packets of container-plantable seeds.
Wedding Dress
Second hand dresses can be a great choice, but many designers are also branching out to eco-friendly fabrics. (read more on eco-friendly gowns from ecoki.com)

We saved a lot, too, by having a huge vegan dinner. It saved cost, helped the environment, was great for the animals, and there wasn’t really much waste at all. We served it buffet style, and clean up was a breeze because most folks just used one plate.

Baking favors is the easiest way to do it – in fact, no sure why people DONT do it. Whip together a quick batch of cookies (times a hundred) and you’re done. You can do them in batches and freeze them a few months before.
