Consider buying a vintage dress -

With meat being one the biggest CO2 contributors to emissions, try to keep your wedding meals vegetarian or vegan-focused. If you would prefer to eat meat, stick to British meat and seasonal vegetables. -
Decor and Favours

Avoid using single-use plastic and decorations. Use recyclable paper, hire decorations (which will also save you money) and give each guest a personalised jam-jar for their drink, to save on single-use cups. -
Location

As guests travelling to the wedding venue make up 73% of the carbon emissions of a wedding, consider having the ceremony and wedding in the same location. -
The Honeymoon

A long-distance flight can use thousands of kg of CO2 so why not consider a British staycation.

Our daughter planned her wedding in three months. Wedding dress from a charity shop – quite a few have special weddding dress branches! The bouquets were crocheted flowers, by me, mixed with silk flowers – no cut flowers being flown in! I wrote a poem and crocheted her shawl, we all helped make sugar paste roses for the homemade cake she had baked. Fish and chip supper from a local place near the cafe venu.
Sounds like a beautiful unique wedding, I find the crocheted flowers idea super nice! Thank you for sharing 💚
