We’re all trying to do our bit when it comes to improving our sustainability and planning a wedding, whether big or small, is a real opportunity to flex those ideals. These days it’s more than possible to have a celebration that is both luxurious and kind to the planet too.
It’s hard to beat the unmistakeable romance of an invite that lands with a thud on the doormat, so while digital may be the eco-choice, you can mitigate the impact of paper invites by choosing a reputable supplier committed to quality recycled paper with no use of plastics (on stickers or details).
Limit your paper use with digital “save the date” notices and include detachable RSVPs that can be easily returned.
One of the single biggest purchases associated with any wedding, choosing your wedding and engagement rings is another opportunity to make sustainable choices. Look to vintage pieces or choose a supplier who uses ethically sourced or upcycled stones. Ask your jeweller about carbon neutral, lab-grown diamonds and recycled gold, platinum or silver. Locally made pieces will help to offset your carbon footprint and always opt for jewellery that has Fairmined certification.
