This Mount Ida Farm & Vineyard wedding editorial showcases just how beautiful a green wedding can be!

For couples wanting to have a more eco-friendly, sustainable wedding day, there are plenty of options to consider as you plan your day!

Zero Waste shared that, “The average US wedding produces a massive 400 pounds of garbage and 63 tons of CO2. If your guest list is over 100, your carbon footprint could be much, much higher, and in most cases, the waste generated won’t be biodegradable.”

Finding a wedding planner who is familiar with zero-waste weddings can help make planning an earth-conscious wedding day a breeze. Here are a few items to start thinking about as you plan your wedding day.

Consider purchasing a previously worn wedding gown. In addition to saving yourself a lot of money, you could find a vintage gem with tons of character to help make your day even more unique!
Minimize the use of decorations that are not biodegradable such as balloons.
Consider using live plants or dried florals instead of cut flowers.
Opt for guest favors that promote zero waste mindset. Or gift them with live plants!
Forego physical invites. You can still have one beautiful invitation suite made that your photographer can use to help tell the story of your day. This same invitation can be later framed and hung in the couple’s home.

There are tons more ideas on how to have a zero-waste or eco-friendly wedding. Have fun planning! And comment below if you have cool ideas to share with other couples!
