Planning a Wedding with the Planet in Mind
Your wedding day is a celebration of love, commitment, and the start of a beautiful journey. But in the midst of the excitement and joy, it’s also an opportunity to make mindful choices that go beyond the celebration itself—choices that echo care for the planet.
Sustainable wedding planning offers a chance to create a beautiful and memorable event while minimizing the environmental footprint. From invitations to the final send-off, there are various ways to embrace eco-friendly practices in every aspect of your wedding.

Eco-Friendly Invitations
Start your sustainable journey right from the beginning with eco-friendly invitations. Consider using recycled paper or plantable seed paper for your invites. Opt for digital invitations to reduce paper waste and carbon emissions associated with shipping.
Conscious Venue and Decor
Select a venue that aligns with your eco-friendly vision. Consider outdoor spaces, barns, or locations that allow natural light to minimise energy usage. Our Brecon Beacon Wedding Venue offers plenty of outdoor space to help bring your eco-wedding dreams alive. Meanwhile, consider embracing minimalist decor, utilise potted plants, or opt for rented and reusable decor items. For a whimsical touch, explore decorations made from recycled materials or biodegradable options.
Ethical Catering Choices
When it comes to food, explore locally sourced, organic, and seasonal menu options. Opt for caterers committed to reducing food waste and utilizing biodegradable or reusable tableware. Consider offering a plant-based or vegetarian menu to reduce the wedding’s carbon footprint.
Sustainable Attire
Choose attire that aligns with your values—consider vintage or second-hand wedding dresses, or explore designers committed to sustainable and ethical practices. For grooms and wedding party attire, consider renting or purchasing from sustainable fashion brands.
Green Transportation
Encourage carpooling or arrange shuttle services to reduce the carbon footprint of transportation to and from the venue. For a unique touch, consider arriving in an electric or hybrid vehicle or even a horse-drawn carriage.
Eco-Friendly Favors
Express gratitude to your guests with eco-friendly wedding favours. Opt for gifts that are practical, reusable, or biodegradable. Plantable seeds, locally sourced treats, or handmade items are thoughtful choices.
Waste Reduction and Recycling
Implement recycling stations at your venue and reduce waste by using reusable items wherever possible. Opt for biodegradable confetti or consider an eco-friendly exit, such as blowing bubbles or waving eco-friendly ribbon wands.
