ChiaraB Events' Tips for a Perfect Green Wedding

1. Eco-Friendly and Outdoor Location

The choice of location is the first step for a green wedding. ChiaraB recommends opting for a outdoor locationsuch as a garden, a historic villa surrounded by nature or a farmhouse using sustainable practices. These venues not only reduce the need for energy for lighting and air conditioning, but also make it possible to experience an event surrounded by nature.

Furthermore, you can choose a location that supports environmental protection initiatives or uses renewable energy sources. Places such as agritourisms and organic estates, for example, offer an ideal setting for an ecological and authentic wedding.

2. Digital or Recycled Paper Invitations

Invitations are one of the most important elements of a wedding, but they can be made sustainable by choosing eco-friendly materials. Digital invitationsAs well as being modern and practical, they reduce paper consumption and the impact of transport. ChiaraB also recommends using recycled or plantable paperwhich contains plant and flower seeds and can be put in the ground to germinate.

For couples who prefer a physical invitation, there are also ecological cards made without chlorine or from materials such as hemp and bamboo paper, which are totally biodegradable.

3. Sustainable Wedding Dresses and Accessories

For a green wedding, the wedding dress can make all the difference: you can choose a dress in natural and sustainable fabrics, such as linen, untreated silk or organic cotton. Another option recommended by ChiaraB is to hire the wedding dress or opt for a vintage model, reducing the environmental impact of production.

Accessories and shoes can also be sustainable, choosing handcrafted products made from low-impact materials. An original idea is to decorate your hair with fresh, seasonal flowers, avoiding plastic accessories.

4. Natural Decorations and Seasonal Flowers

A green wedding involves the use of natural decorations and low impact, avoiding synthetic materials and preferring recyclable or biodegradable elements. For the decoration, ChiaraB recommends choosing seasonal flowers, preferably local, which reduce the impact of transport and are fresher and longer lasting.

In addition, you can enrich the arrangement with natural elements such as wood, stones and vegetable wax candles. The flower decorations can also be reused: ChiaraB offers the possibility of giving flowers to guests at the end of the event or donating them to hospitals and old people's homes.

5. Zero Mileage and Organic Menu

The wedding banquet is one of the most important elements of the wedding, and to make it sustainable, it is essential to choose a zero km menuwith local and seasonal products. ChiaraB works with organic suppliers and local producers who guarantee fresh, quality ingredients, reducing the environmental impact of transport.

Another option is to offer a vegetarian or vegan menuwhich reduces CO2 emissions and is environmentally friendly. In addition, you can choose to serve drinks in recyclable glass and avoid the use of single-use plastic.

6. Ecological and Solidarity Favours

Favours are a way to thank your guests, but they can also be an opportunity to do good for the environment. ChiaraB proposes original ideas for ecological wedding favours, such as small saplings, seedlings or seedswhich guests can plant and care for.

Another option is to choose fair trade wedding favours, with products made by cooperatives or associations that promote fair trade. Favours made of biodegradable materials, such as wood or cotton, are an elegant and environmentally friendly choice.

7. Waste Management and Recycling

8. Sustainable Honeymoon

To complete a green wedding, even the honeymoon can be planned with a sustainable perspective. ChiaraB recommends choosing destinations that promote responsible tourism or opting for eco-friendly trips, such as local destinations or eco-villages.
