  • Each wedding is unique, and there are many different factors that make up that special individuality for each one. We found a style that worked for us. Find one that works for you and don’t compare your wedding day to another.
  • Ask friends (married or not married) if they have anything you can borrow You would be surprised by what people will offer too.
  • Ask your catering company about using seasonal, local food and their views on composting or research composting companies. You could also choose catering companies that support community or charity initiatives
  • There are many different ways to offer gifts to your wedding guests that are low waste and plastic free (plants, homemade jam, seeds). And remember it’s not a necessity to give one.
  • Check out your local second hand clothing stores
  • If you can’t forage for flowers, ask friends with gardens or simply choose flowers that are local and in season.
  • Avoid the throw away items, and hire ones that can be washed like proper cutlery, plates, glasses and cloth napkins.
