Wedding with minimal environmental impact.

Wedding day is the happiest day in a couple’s life. This event brings friends and family together in a celebration of love. After dedicating countless hours to planning every detail of your wedding festivities, it makes sense that you expect everything to be awless and special for your big day. Emotional bets are o the charts as both you and your family have been waiting for this day all your life.

But the truth is that there is no such thing as a “perfect” marriage. You will never be able to control every single aspect of how it will appear. Even the most organised and well-coordinated events can face some obstacles down the road.

In all the excitement, it’s easy to overlook the impact of wedding celebrations on the environment. Whatever we throw away, which cannot be recycled, harms the environment. If something is not biodegradable, it can take thousands of years to break down naturally.

According to a research, 20 kg of plastic waste can be generated from one wedding. But it’s not just plastic that has an impact. Food wastage is also a common theme at most weddings. As the world becomes more aware of the many risks associated with rising global temperatures, many of us feel the need to make serious changes to the way we live. The talk of sustainability is happening now more than ever. Luckily, if this is something you want to keep in mind on your wedding day, you must. Although it’s a great start to making small changes to your wedding’s non-eco-friendly resources. By choosing green for a variety of elements, including stationery, food, space, and even jewelry, couples can signi cantly reduce their carbon footprint and still celebrate their love in style.

Not only will this bene t the planet, but will also spread an eco-friendly message about the importance of sustainability.
