With climate change and sustainability being increasingly important issues, more couples are looking to have eco-friendly weddings. There are many ways to make your big day gentler on the environment, from conscientious venue choice to sustainable attire. With a little forethought, you can reduce your wedding's carbon footprint without compromising on style or enjoyment.
Destination and Venue
One of the biggest factors in a wedding's environmental impact is transportation and travel. Opting for a venue close to your hometown means less fuel burned getting yourself and your guests there. Look for sites within a reasonable driving distance that don't require air travel. For example, if you live in Wiltshire, a simple Google search of “wedding venues in Wiltshire” will bring up a wide range of Wiltshire wedding venues that you may not even know were close by. Grittleton House is just one of the many wedding venues Wiltshire has to offer, and even though it is set in the countryside, your guests can easily reach it by train from wherever they are. Supporting local, independent businesses boosts community sustainability.
