Green Weddings



So, you would like to make your wedding as carbon friendly as possible but don’t know how or where to start.... You think its sounds like just another expense and one more thing to organise.... check out our list of 10 things you can do to make your wedding greener and show your love for the planet....

    Hold your ceremony and reception at the same location. This is not only great for the environment but also convenient for your guests (We at Bride Online LOVE a ceremony and reception combo!)
    Encourage Your guests to carpool or provide transport
    Chose fuel efficient weddings cars
    Use recycled paper for invitations and remove any excess like registry info etc Ask guests to recycle your invitations. Provide an electronic invitation with extra info (such as registry and RSVP)
    Use local produce and wines where possible
    Register your wedding for carbon credits and encourage guests to buy credits rather than gifts
    Use native flowers and decorations where possible
    If you are having wedding bomboniere hand made from recycled materials
    Look for a pre loved gown
    Honeymoon locally

These are just a few ideas, we'd love to hear how you have incorporated green and eco themes into your wedding!
