There are many ways to make a wedding eco-friendly, but using nature as your main inspiration adds a very unique element of beauty. If you are having an outdoor wedding, use elements in your environment to enhance what you already are using. Here’s an example: if you are going to use name plates to designate seating, and you are having a beach wedding, try using seashells to hold the name plates in place. You can even enlist your family and friends (especially children) to pick out the seashells, which can be a lot of fun and helpful for you. Look around and see what you can use that is both inexpensive and charming.
The same inspiration from nature can be used in planning showers or other wedding parties. Say you are the Maid of Honor planning the bridal shower, knowing the wedding will be held in Spring can help guide your theme and décor. Use wildflowers to decorate the location, and for a fun touch, use edible flowers to garnish the food. Using freshly picked wildflowers as decoration makes a Spring wedding shower feel fresh and new, just like the season. What bride wouldn’t love that?
