it is better to organise the environmental-aware weddings during the day or early evening to avoid an excessive consumption of electric energy. Moreover, milder seasons are ideal for a wedding as this allows to reduce the consumption of heating.

where to start if not from the bride’s dress? We advise you to chose a vintage dress which will not only maintain its charm but it is still very much in fashion! And for those who do not want to give up on the new dress, it is possible to chose amongst a variety of fully eco friendly fabrics or materials like recycled plastic, vegetable biopolymers or fabrics from bio dynamic cultivations.

For your invitations do not use paper! It is expensive, often it is not recyclable and harms the environment. Send your invitations via the web: it is easy, practical, original and completely customizable. We can also offer on line reminder services and thanks for the participation to all the guests, avoiding unpleasant forgetfulness and offering security, a fast service and originality. Create a web site with all the useful info on the location of the wedding and of the reception the hotels etc.; so you will avoid sending other letters to guests.

in the majority of cases the decorations are made with flowers that have been cut or cultivated in a green house. All these things have an environmental impact and with time this can seriously harm the habitat and the bio diversity. Choose to be eco friendly and have a Green Wedding day using spontaneous flowers, in season, cultivated in the area were you have chosen to get married. Rosemary, violet or wheat are some types of decoration that you can use with wonderful aesthetic results.

wedding receptions often take place in distant places from the place where the marriage was celebrated. The reception is prepared by catering companies from different areas. All this involves large displacements and higher emissions of carbon monoxide. For your reception you should choose the location closest possible to the church or town hall where the marriage took place and to select courses based on seasonal ingredients produced in the immediate vicinity. We serve organic wines, which can be chosen for you by a knowledgeable wine merchant.

the collective commute in eco diesel cars or bicycles represents a useful way to avoid an excess of harmful emissions, without losing the style!

the materials used for wedding rings are often crafted in poor areas, involved in internal conflicts and where the protection of workers and the environment is non-existent. The couples who wish to demonstrate their commitment to these issues, we suggest purchasing rings made in non-conflict areas. We advise you to buy recycled gold as an alternative or gold from the fair trade. To the newlyweds who love instead minimalism and naturalness, we propose the rings produced by disabled artisans and built with materials which are not chemically treated. For your wedding you can also choose to buy antique jewellery or to use family rings.

many aid organizations produce fair trade wedding favors. With this purchase you will help to fund projects of charity towards the less fortunate. If you want to strengthen this commitment towards the environment, choose party favors made of noble materials (cotton, linen and silk), and in everyday materials (pottery and corn dough) or use small plants and bonsai. Your wedding favors are so original, exclusive and completely environmentally friendly.

Prepare your list of wedding gifts choosing Fair Trade products made of environmentally friendly materials.
