How to Plan a Sustainable Spring Wedding

Spring is a beautiful season for a wedding, with blooming flowers, longer days, and warmer weather. If you’re an eco-conscious couple, planning a sustainable spring wedding allows you to celebrate love while being kind to the planet. Here’s how to make your big day both stunning and sustainable.

1. Choose an Eco-Friendly Venue

2. Send Green Invitations

  • Choose plantable seed paper invitations from Little Green Wedding for a waste-free keepsake.

  • Consider digital invitations or recycled paper to minimise waste.

3. Select Seasonal and Locally Sourced Flowers

  • Work with florists who use seasonal, locally grown flowers to reduce carbon footprint.

  • Opt for potted plants, dried flowers, or biodegradable arrangements.

  • Consider renting outfits or choosing brands that use eco-friendly fabrics.
