Tips for an Eco-Friendly Wedding
25 February 2021
In today’s fast-paced world, more and more couples are choosing to go green and plan a 100% sustainable wedding. What does that involve? It means organizing an event that leaves no environmental footprint and produces zero waste: a rustic venue surrounded by nature, a farm-to-table menu, recycled materials for décor, and more.
If you’re dreaming of a truly green wedding, here are plenty of ideas to help you host an unforgettable celebration in harmony with the planet.

1. Eco-Friendly Invitations and Favors
• Invitations: Choose recycled paper or—better yet—seed paper that guests can plant afterward to grow wildflowers or herbs.
• Favors: Stick with the same green principle. Look for handcrafted items made from recycled materials or support small-town artisans. You could also give local edible treats—olive oil, wine, honey—or opt for fair-trade gifts that benefit a good cause.
2. Attire, Flowers, and Transportation
• Wedding Attire: Seek out dresses and suits made from natural, sustainably sourced fabrics. Or transform Grandma’s gown into a modern heirloom by adding subtle gold or silver accents. For shoes, pick a pair you’ll wear again rather than a one-day purchase.
• Floral Décor: Reduce waste by using seasonal blooms or potted herbs as table centerpieces that guests can take home. You can even craft bouquets and decorations from recycled fabric, buttons, or paper.
• Transportation: Instead of two separate cars, hire a single luxury vehicle that combines comfort and style. Look for a reputable rental company—like Ghisu Autonoleggio in Rome—that specializes in eco-conscious luxury cars.

3. Farm-to-Table Menu and a Green Honeymoon
• Venue & Menu: Host your reception at an agriturismo or countryside farmhouse and serve a menu made entirely from locally grown ingredients. Offer seasonal fruits and vegetables and serve drinks on tap to cut down on plastic and glass waste. Whenever possible, use biodegradable plates, cups, and cutlery.
• Honeymoon: Plan a low-impact trip by minimizing flights or choosing an airline with strong environmental commitments. Pick a destination known for eco-lodges and sustainable tourism activities that let you explore nature responsibly.
