When it comes to the decorations of your wedding, you might begin to feel overwhelmed. The best way to relieve your stress is to begin with a specific vision for your wedding. A great way to do this is by deciding what your dream wedding looks like, finding inspiration online, and creating a vision board.
Once you have your vision board, you can analyze the needed supplies and go from there. In 2022, many individuals have decided to help the environment by reducing their carbon footprint. An environmental blogger, Whitney Owonubi explains the importance of living sustainably in her blog. Protecting the planet is necessary for all humans to take part in for all of us to live a healthy and long life. You can check out her informative blog here. Reducing waste can even be accomplished with your wedding decorations. Below I have researched and listed a few ideas for your wedding decorations that will help reduce waste.
1. Recycle and repurpose
An easy way to reduce your carbon footprint is to repurpose old items and use them in your wedding. For example, you could take old doors and create a beautiful ceremony entrance, use old windows for your seating chart, or even an old ladder for hanging decorations.
2. Choose sustainable products
The most effective way to choose sustainable decorations is to search for a wedding venue that does not need decorations or is already decorated. This reduces the need to purchase new items that you will only use for one event. If this is not possible, you can opt for glass products over plastic products and choose flowers that are native to your area.

3. Donate when you are done
Rather than contributing to waste by throwing out items when finished, opt to donate or sell your used wedding decorations. Donating is a great way to help individuals who may not be able to afford wedding decorations. You can even use your left over decorations in your home or for other events.

Tip: When using paper products, choose a plantable seed paper. Here is the link for Amazon's seed paper.
