Making your wedding more sustainable
Are you looking to have a sustainable wedding, one that will have a positive impact on the environment? At our pubs, we believe that everyone can make a difference, and we want to help you put together a sustainable wedding that you and your guests will never forget. Here are our top tips for making your wedding more sustainable.
Choose a sustainable venue - The venue is one of the most important decisions you will make. Choosing a venue that prioritizes sustainability, like our pubs, can help reduce the environmental impact of your wedding.
Go paperless - Save paper and reduce waste by sending digital invitations instead of paper ones. You can also use digital tools to manage your RSVPs, seating arrangements, and other logistics.
Choose seasonal and local food - Selecting seasonal and locally-sourced ingredients for your menu can help reduce carbon emissions from transportation and support local farmers and producers. Our fabulous wedding menu offers all of these points.
Reduce plastic waste - Avoid plastic bottles, straws, and other single-use plastic items. Instead, offer guests refillable water bottles and reusable straws.
Choose eco-friendly decor - Consider using recycled or repurposed items for your decorations, such as secondhand vases or candles made from soy wax.
Use sustainable transportation - Encourage guests to carpool or use public transportation to get to the wedding venue. You can also consider renting a shuttle bus or providing bicycles for guests to use.
Choose sustainable wedding favors - Offer guests sustainable wedding favors, such as seeds for planting or reusable tote bags.
Donate leftover food and flowers - Reduce food waste by donating leftover food to a local charity. You can also donate flowers to a nursing home or hospital.
Putting together a sustainable wedding may seem like a daunting task, but with these tips, you can reduce the environmental impact of your wedding without sacrificing style or elegance. Here are some additional ideas to help you make your wedding more sustainable:
Choose vintage or secondhand clothing - Consider wearing a vintage or secondhand wedding dress or suit. Not only is this a sustainable option, but it can also be a unique and stylish choice.
Choose a sustainable wedding planner - Work with a wedding planner who prioritizes sustainability and can help you make eco-friendly choices throughout the planning process.
Opt for plant-based food - Choosing plant-based food options can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with animal agriculture.
Use beeswax or soy candles - Opt for candles made from beeswax or soy wax, which are biodegradable and produce less soot and toxins than traditional paraffin wax candles.
Choose natural flowers - Select flowers that are in season and grown without harmful pesticides or chemicals. You can also consider using potted plants or herbs as centerpieces, which guests can take home and enjoy.
