Tip Of The Week: Eco Friendly Weddings

If you are on board with diminishing your eco-footprints then your wedding day should be no different. There are so many options out there to help you choose the right suppliers & ensure that your wedding helps save the environment! Here are a couple of things to consider & a few great suppliers to help create your best eco friendly wedding;  


1. The Engagement Ring: Yes, there are eco friendly jewellers! Some of the best ones we discovered were Ethical Jewellery Australia an online engagement and wedding boutique;  Zoe Pook, they offer hand made designs for you &  Utopian Creations, Australia's oldest eco friendly ethical jewellers. 

2. Invitations and Stationery: Check out Earth Greetings as their invitations are printed carbon neutral in Australia, using vegetable based ink on 100% post-consumer recycled paper. Our fave has to be A Little Birdie Design Studio, as they supply unique wedding invitations & stationery, DIY supplies, plantable seeded paper, recycled paper envelopes and so much more!

3. Gifts & Favours : Eco Celebrations make gifts and favours that are friendly for the environment and use local Aussie suppliers (gotta share the love :). If you want to purchase a unique gift for the bride and groom, then check out GreenUrLife. They offer a selection of natural, high quality, practical, eco-friendly kitchenware products that are BPA free and made from either recyclable or biodegradable materials such as stainless steel, recycled timber, glass and cotton.

4. Reception Venues: I have to start with my personal fave, Brampton Island!! ( I love, love, love this place and must recommend it if you want a simple relaxing holiday/wedding!). The only issue there is that currently the resort is under a much required redevelopment and the opening date has not yet been released. The redevelopment started in January this year so I'm hoping for a reopening in the summer! Daintree Eco Lodge & Spa is another wonderful place.  For a full list of amazing eco friendly reception venues check out this page. 

5. Dresses: Worn Only Once is a place where savvy brides can buy & sell preloved bridal wear. Buying preloved attire can save you money and more importantly it helps the environment by reducing excess wastage.
