Utilize Online Resources
You and your future spouse don’t need to do all the work on your own! Instead, use free online resources for guidance. 77 Diamonds offers a full-on guide to sustainable, zero-waste, and ethical weddings. In the guide, you’ll find everything from an eye-opening fact sheet about the carbon footprint and waste generated by the wedding industry, tips on finding green wedding planners, suppliers, and venues, as well as other eco-conscious resources to help you plan an environmentally friendly wedding ceremony and reception.
Try Before You Buy
Instead of dealing with the journey to a wedding dress boutique and the tireless task of trying on a million dresses, shop online! It will save you both time and effort, so you can focus on planning your wedding day. When brides order from Bohyne, they can get a virtual consultation and try on styles via mail order before committing to a single dress. The sustainable wedding dress vendor sources materials from unused or over-purchased stock, which helps to reduce existing industry waste and save yards of beautiful fabric from landfills.
DIY Your Wedding
Why not make a fun project out of your wedding by DIY-ing your decorations? It will give you and your fiancé a bonding activity to get you excited leading up to the wedding. Not to mention, you’ll save on your budget and reduce the necessary production waste that comes from a third-party wedding decorator.
If DIY crafts aren’t your strong suit, not to worry. You can get help from Parties Under the Palms, a boho minimalist event company that caters to small, outside events – your wedding, included! Keep it simple with a gorgeous outdoor picnic reception your guests will love.
