""Planning a sustainable wedding starts with prioritising what's important to you and shutting out the consumerist noise. That way, from the get-go you have a guiding principle that informs each decision.""
""Most wedding emissions are driven by high guest count and air travel. Limiting the guest list to close family and friends, and choosing a location central to most of them, immediately reduces the footprint.""
""A practical first step towards sustainability is seeking out a venue that already aligns with your values, such as one with its own kitchen garden, that runs on renewable energy, has robust supplier policies, or on-site accommodation that further reduces the need for guest travel.""
The average Australian wedding emits approximately 21.5 tonnes of carbon, surpassing annual household emissions. To plan a sustainable wedding, prioritize meaningful elements over consumerism. Start with a small guest list and a central venue to minimize emissions from travel. Hosting the ceremony and reception at the same location further reduces the carbon footprint. Choosing venues that align with sustainability values, such as those using renewable energy or having on-site gardens, can also contribute to a greener celebration.
