A wedding is a joyous occasion to celebrate, and there are many eco wedding suppliers to consider but it is finding the right one. To find the businesses that you can trust and believe in, research is needed before you jump in and pay that deposit. Here are some key things to consider when planning for a wedding and to make it as environmentally friendly as possible.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

Location, Location, Location.<\/h2>\n

I would start with the location. \u00a0Pin point where your local suppliers are, the closer they are the less driving is needed.\u00a0 If there is one business you know you want to work with but the distance is a bit further, ask them if they can do some appointments on-line, it saves fuel but it is also kinder to the planet the less you travel.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

The dress<\/h2>\n

One of the most important aspects of the wedding is a dress and there is a wide range of dresses out there and at different price points.\u00a0 I have compiled some questions to ask your designer or boutique manager to find information on their sustainable credentials.<\/p>\n

Ask the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Where are their clothes made?\u00a0 It would be better if dresses are made in Britain to reduce the carbon footprint but also it would be better to understand the seamstresses work conditions and pay.\u00a0\u00a0 This will reflect the price of the dress.<\/li>\n
  2. Where are their wedding dresses stocked? UK or worldwide?\u00a0 The number of dresses stocked worldwide would have a negative effect on the environment.<\/li>\n
  3. Which fabrics are used to make a dress and where do they come from? \u00a0Many fabrics are made in China or India, however there are companies that design and make fabrics in the UK. I would do a little background research and ask if your boutique can tell you the conditions of the factories and where the fabrics are made. \u00a0Peace silk is vegan and doesn\u2019t harm the silkworm in production and organic fabrics are best. Llook out for these signs: the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and Oeko-Tex. \u00a0Certain fabrics, like satin or crepe polyester and acrylic is derived from synthetic fibres which are not biodegradable. \u00a0A better choice would be to buy a wedding dress made from recycled bottles, an even better choice would be peace silk or organic fabrics.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These questions will help brides to interpret whether brands are green washing i.e. using marketing strategies to forge an eco-image. \u00a0<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.thame.net\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/JS-392_websize.jpg” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” alt=”Tips for a greener wedding” title_text=”Jade & Simon” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

    The Flowers<\/h2>\n

    Seasons are important when choosing your flowers.\u00a0 It is best to have a florist that works with seasons and UK grown if possible. This will help reduce imported flowers from other countries and it should bring the cost down too. One overlooked area is the floral foam. Floral foam can be damaging to the environment but there are alternatives out there. Ask your florist about this and what options they offer.<\/p>\n

    Decorate your flowers with beautiful off-cuts of fabric.\u00a0 I give my beautiful brides ribbons for their bouquets from the left-over dress material.\u00a0 Peace silk chiffons work especially well and dye easily too. This is a great way to have consistency in your wedding theme and also reduce wastage. Also, get your friends and bridesmaids to dry any petals they have, at least 6 months in advance so you can collect enough and then you have bio-degradable confetti.<\/p>\n

    You could also plan to grow your own flowers for your wedding. I went to a particular wedding where the folliage AND flowers were both from the bride’s garden.\u00a0<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.thame.net\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Jessica-Turner-designs-sustainable-wedding-dress-and-flowers.jpg” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” alt=”Jessica Turner designs sustainable wedding dress and flowers” title_text=”Jessica Turner designs sustainable wedding dress and flowers” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

    The Venue<\/h2>\n

    As I mentioned before; location, location, location.\u00a0 Try to use a local area where possible to minimise transport – it could be your local area or an area where most of your family are located.\u00a0 Also, consider where all your guests are coming from, how they are travelling and where they are staying to avoid ramping up the carbon footprint of your wedding.<\/p>\n

    The time of year can make a difference too. If you get married in the summer months then you have longer days and less need for lighting or heating.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    If you have a venue in mind, there’s one simple but very effective question you can ask your venue: What steps do they take to ensure the venue is as green as possible?<\/p>\n

    See what they say and how you feel about it.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

    The Food<\/h2>\n

    Sustainable food starts at the source. Caterers should be able to tell you where their food comes from and how their food is made. Look for caterers that use homegrown foods and local butchers that have high animal welfare practices. \u00a0\u00a0For the menu on your wedding day it would be a good idea to have lots of vegetarian options with a small number of meat options.\u00a0 I think it is a good idea to try to cut down on meat consumption, it also might bring the price down a little.\u00a0 Don\u2019t have single-use plastic cutlery and plates, and it would be a good idea to speak to your caterer and suggest a food compost bin for any food scraps.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

    The Hair and Make Up<\/h2>\n

    To keep your wedding as eco-friendly as possible I would use a local artist.\u00a0 It is hard to find natural make up that lasts for the whole day so it is worth asking if you can trial a few organic or natural products first but if they don\u2019t work then at least you have chosen to work with someone local.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

    Summary<\/h2>\n

    Reducing wedding waste: plastic, meat and travel, is very beneficial for the environment and it should be considered when planning your wedding day.\u00a0 Recycling is also very important, so try to recycle as much as possible or rent items. Keeping things local is key and also helps your local economy and small businesses.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    I hope some of these tips are useful and that they will inspire you to plan an eco-wedding.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]
