Eco-Friendly Ideas for Weddings
There are a number of ideas that you could incorporate into your wedding day, some of which we have brought here in our carefully-curated list of ideas. Feel free to choose any among the following for your big day and celebrate love together.
- Wedding Venues
Choosing a sustainable venue is the first step towards a green wedding. India has a number of locations that could serve as a destination venue as well as providing the eco friendly option that you’re looking for.
Imagine walking down the aisle under starlit skies with wilderness around the corner, or imagine having a beach wedding during sunset that would make every guest gasp in awe. One of the most beautiful venues you would have ever laid eyes on comes under a tree. Yes, having the ceremony under a beautiful tree is something we cannot miss.
All of the eco-friendly wedding venues will end up being in trend over the next few years. So go be the torch bearer and start this trend with your big day. But remember, having a wedding at a green location also calls for extra care associated with polluting the land and degrading the quality of the venue. For instance, at the of the wedding, so much of garbage around the beach is not what this was all about
- Wedding Decor
A simple, sleek and elegant decor is the new aesthetic. Everyone is opting for a simple decor that says minimalist but takes our breath away. And well, what’s more eco-friendly than a minimalist wedding decor.
Do you remember Athiya Shetty and KL Rahul’s wedding? They had the prettiest wedding decor ever all of which categorized into an eco-friendly and green decor.
- Wedding Menu
Another important aspect of planning a green wedding is the decision of catering. Did you know animal husbandry accounts for almost half of the carbon emission of the world. Which is why opting for a vegan or vegetarian menu should be your top priority for an eco-friendly wedding.
Having food decorations as per the sustainable guidelines can prove to be so much more than just simple. It could be minimalistically aesthetic. It could bring us back to our roots.
Infact, using eco-friendly cutleries and plates are also a way to do for your green wedding.
- Green Bridal Accessories
We all know that the bride of the wedding is the main character for the entire duration of the wedding, be it 3 days or be it 10 days. So, the bridal look is the most crucial part of a wedding. The outfit, the makeup, the accessories, and everything from head to toe has to be top notch for a bride which is definitely called for.
But what if everything here comes from an eco-friendly source. For instance, using makeup products from a vegan-based company can be beneficial in all aspects.
The accessories for the bride like incorporating some flowers in the hairstyle is everyone’s go-to style especially for haldi functions.
These eco-friendly wedding bridal looks so soothing and pleasing to the eyes.
- Donate the flowers
Donating the remaining flowers from your wedding decor is one hell of an option. Any local NGO can reuse the flowers in many charitable causes such as in old age homes or even nursing homes. You can also reuse the flowers. For instance, some dried petals can be helpful to make a bowl of potpourri or making candles out of them is another great idea.
This way you dont waste the flowers and you get something else out of it. Opting for an eco-friendly wedding has its own pros.
- Paper Wedding Invitations
This aesthetic and pleasing idea is on the go right now enhancing the wedding enthusiasm to a new level.
So, these were some of the ideas for an eco-friendly green wedding that can enhance your wedding day with sustainability on the side. Always remember, you’re going to do the right thing when opting for these ideas for your summer weddings.
