Woodland weddings are romantic, intimate, and beautiful and can be a great way to show your commitment to sustainability. We look at top tips for planning an eco-friendly woodland wedding.

1. Choose a Natural Venue

When planning an eco-friendly woodland wedding, it’s important to choose a venue that is as close to nature as possible.

Look for venues that are surrounded by trees and foliage or that are located in natural parks or forests. This will help to ensure that your wedding is as eco-friendly as possible.

2. Decorate with Natural Elements

When decorating your wedding venue, look for ways to incorporate natural elements into your decorations.

Use items like branches, vines, and leaves to create a beautiful, natural atmosphere. You can also use wildflowers and other native plants to add a pop of colour to your decorations.

3. Choose Eco-Friendly Catering

When it comes to your wedding catering, opt for dishes that are made with local, organic, and sustainable ingredients. This will help to reduce your carbon footprint and ensure that your wedding is as eco-friendly as possible. Look for caterers who offer sustainable options like compostable plates, utensils, and cups. You can also ask your caterer to provide reusable dishes and silverware for your guests.


4. Choose Sustainable Favours:

Many couples give out favours to their guests, but these can create a lot of waste. Look for favours that are made from sustainable materials like bamboo, cotton, or recycled paper.

You can also opt for edible favours like honey or jams.


Making your wedding sustainable doesn’t have to be difficult or expensive. By embracing Plastic Free July, you can make your special day more sustainable and reduce your environmental impact. With a few simple changes, you can make your wedding one that you and your guests will remember for years to come.
