When it comes to waste, weddings can take the cake. With potentially hundreds of guests converging from far and wide, the carbon footprint from food, travel and decor can be major.
But in the era of sustainability, there are plenty of ways to make your wedding more eco-friendly! You may however want an experienced photographer (to know more, check https://nabazabih.com/) to capture all of these moments. You can show all of these photos to your dear ones who couldn’t attend the wedding or save them as a mere source of memory. No need to opt-out of all the magical details that’ll make your day unforgettable. From the simple details to a thrift dress to locally-sourced flowers from local florists (similar to the ones who deliver at Maribyrnong and nearby) – there are options aplenty to go sustainable for your wedding!
I spoke to Las Vegas weddings expert, McKenzi Taylor, owner of Cactus Collective Weddings, on how to have a sustainable wedding that (in her words): “creates as little impact on the environment as possible.”
Here are 10 tips on minimizing your footprint on your special day:
“Some of our clients use our company because of our interest in making weddings more sustainable; it’s what draws them to us,” Taylor explains. “Their primary goal in working with Cactus Collective Weddings is to create a memorable and amazing wedding experience in a gorgeous, natural setting, without a lot of the extra fluff that goes into a more traditional wedding reception.”
“Couples do tend to find it incredibly rewarding. They love knowing that they are providing their guests with a unique wedding experience, getting beautiful photos and having a meaningful ceremony all with a limited impact on the environment.”
