A Green Wedding is not a new concept
anymore. People today are far more aware of their environment and what impact
they have. You don’t have to be an eco warrior bride, but you can do a little
bit, that combined means a lot!
We have put together a few things that you
could consider along with using us for your Paperless Wedding!
1. Encourage your guests to give each other lifts to your wedding or
provide a bus so you can all travel together.
This saves carbon emissions and also means people are able to have a drink or two!
2. Choose locally supplied food.
Eating
food out of season means it has to be flown/shipped in to meet your
requests. Try and go local and support your local markets and farm
producers.

3. Choose locally and in season flowers.
Or opt for something a bit different like a brooch bouquet and or cloth flowers?!
4. Get your rings made Eco-friendly Jeweler.
5. Go for a sustainable venue who strive to recycle waste, run on solar
power and have a paperless booking system.
6. Hire rather than buy, or go pre-loved, this could also save you cash.

7. Instead of asking for gifts, request a donation to an environmental
charity
8. Have your honeymoon in NZ – it is beautiful after all!
9. If people are traveling from overseas you could ask them to carbon
offset their flights. It is always an
option just before they pay. They could do this instead of a gift.
