Weddings are fun, but they are also the reason for a lot of waste being generated. To get married, one need not pick all the posh and overpriced services, rather make sensible choices that cause a minimal effect on the resources.
We have curated a list on how to plan a green wedding in Singapore that is ideal for the eco-friendly folks who wish to protect the planet from any more doom.
Make your wedding far more memorable and exciting by implementing these eco-friendly ideas.
Send E-invites
Make full use of the online-friendly world to send invitations to your guests. Hire a graphic or video designer to make your e-invite and send it to your guests with only a few clicks.
Pick a Nearby Location
The less you travel locally or internationally, the lower your carbon footprint. Plan a wedding in the same vicinity or neighboring state for reduced costs and damage to the Earth.
Hire a Pollution Free Transport
Try not to use fancy vehicles like limousines and opt for a hybrid or compact. If these options don't seem reasonable to you, try to get a horse carriage. This will certainly bring a fairytale ending to the ceremony.
Alter your Mother's Wedding Dress
We all know just how expensive wedding gowns are. So to avoid exuberant expenditures, try on your mom's wedding dress. You can make alterations to the gown to match the latest style and your body shape.
Decorate with Plants
To use fresh and lush plants as a part of the decor for the wedding is a unique and daring idea. Use small plants in beautiful planters like lucky bamboos, orchids, wildflowers, and lilacs as table centerpieces.
Choose an Open Space
Since childhood, we are taught that air conditioners are very harmful to the climate. So as an eco-friendly couple, choose to get married in an open space. Pick a season that is conducive to garden or terrace weddings.
Get Local Flowers
These days you will find vast collections of flowers with the smallest florist. However, it is wise to use the flowers for decor or your bridal bouquet that are available in the proximity of the venue.
Donate Food Leftovers
At every wedding, a massive amount of food is left unconsumed which is usually thrown away. Ensure that at your wedding no food goes wasted by making arrangements to donate it to the needy.
Plan a Green Honeymoon
The honeymoon period is always the most romantic time but make sure you don't end up causing harm to the environment. Plan a honeymoon that keeps you close to nature with eco-friendly packages and stays.
Avoid Fireworks
We all love to watch fireworks light up the sky, however, they also cause a hell of a mess for the environment. Stray away from fireworks and opt for sky lanterns at the end of the event.
Whether you pick only one idea or all of them, make sure your wedding is friendly to the environment. After all, you are starting a new inning in it. As an added bonus get your near and dear ones to send eco wedding gifts online.
