How to have an Eco Friendly Wedding

Tips for a sustainable wedding day

 

As the world becomes increasingly aware of the impact of human activities on the environment, more and more couples are choosing to have eco-friendly weddings.

One of the most popular eco-friendly wedding trends is having a woodland wedding. Woodland weddings are romantic, intimate, and beautiful and can be a great way to show your commitment to sustainability. In this blog post, we’ll discuss five 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. The Enchanting Woodland weddings are a great choice as we are home to the most beautiful natural settings without the need to transport your guests with harmful emissions

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. Use Planet-Friendly Decorations:

There are a lot of beautiful eco-friendly decorations available for weddings. Look for decorations made from natural materials like wood, bamboo, and cotton. You can also opt for decorations made from recycled materials.

5. 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. With a few simple changes, you can make your wedding one that you and your guests will remember for years to come.

We had our wedding party here this past weekend, and it was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The venue is absolutely magical, the tipis are nestled in the woods with beautiful lighting and really lovely wooden features, the bar is built in a hut around a tree and super cute. All of our guests kept commenting on how amazing it was and Emma and the team were superb from start to finish. Could not recommend it enough!!

I'm a wedding celebrant and conducted my first wedding here in July. The woodland ceremony area is so beautiful - the entrance to the space and being surrounded by the tallest of trees - you would never believe that you are so close to big cities. I got a lovely, friendly welcome by the staff on the day and hope to return one day soon. It's a great space if you want to style your day, your way. So if anyone needs a celebrant for your wedding ceremony, please do get in touch so that we can see if we can kick off your wedding say in style! Oh, just don't follow Google maps to get there as you will end up in the neighbouring field!

Our wedding at Enchanting Woodland Weddings was an absolute dream come true, and we couldn't be more thrilled with our experience! From the moment we first inquired, Emma and Laura were incredibly friendly, warm, and genuinely helpful. Their expertise and passion for creating magical days was evident from beginning to end. During the 2 years between first seeing the venue and making a booking until our actual wedding day, the communication and openness between ourselves and Emma was amazing. They were always on the other end of the phone whenever we had questions, and always went out of their way to provide the information and clarifications we were looking for. Going into the day, we knew exactly what we were in for, and everything went so smoothly! Throughout the whole process they were always responsive, clear, and proactive, making the planning process feel seamless and stress-free, even with such a long lead time. We always felt supported and informed, which was a huge comfort. And the location! It was truly amazing. The natural beauty of the setting created truly the most Enchanting and magical atmosphere for our special day. Every detail blended perfectly with the woodland surroundings, making it feel like something out of a fairytale. We had so many comments on how amazing the venue was. Enchanting Woodland Weddings delivered a truly unforgettable experience. We highly recommend them to any couple dreaming of a beautiful, naturally inspired wedding with exceptional support. Thank you, Emma and Laura, for making our wedding day so perfect!

We had our wedding here in May and we couldnt have asked for a better venue! The forest was absolutely beautiful and and a perfect backdrop for our special day, the sun was shining and we were lucky enough to still have the bluebells out! (we even saw a deer!) The venue were amazing and made sure we had everything we needed. Emma was brilliant and was always a message away if we had any questions, and Laura, our coordinator on the day was fab and made sure everything ran smoothly so that we didn't have to worry about any of the logistics of the day, we could just enjoy ourselves! The tent was huge and had plenty of space for all our guests, and we had free reign when it came to layout and decorating. It looked amazing in the evening with all the lights on, and plenty of space for dancing too! Our guests also absolutely loved the obstacle course and the zip line, we had no idea how many people had tried it out until we saw all the photos but everyone loved it! A great extra wedding entertainment feature! The venue had a bar and toilets and a space for us to get ready too, as well as easy access for the caterers to get to the tent. there was also plenty of seating in the ceremony area, and even provided a PA system for music during the ceremony, as there weren't any plug sockets in the forest. Everything we needed! We highly recommend enchanting woodland weddings, everything about our day was perfect and the venue was the perfect setting for the best day of our lives! Thank you for everything!

We went to the open day at the Woodlands and immediately knew it was the place to get married. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. Kept in touch right up until our day. On the day I had Laura as a coordinator and she was truly amazing! The whole setting was perfect, we decorated how we wanted to and had the whole venue to ourselves for the day. Everyone keeps talking about how much they lived the venue.

We had our dream wedding here in June 2024 and still have people talking about it! From booking to planning to the actual day, Emma, Laura, Heather & the rest of the team were just spot on. We got the place for the entire weekend so had the Friday to put everything together. The team took on every kind of issue that could have popped up and made sure we had the best day of our lives. A gorgeous venue with the best team, wishing we could do it all over again :) If you are after an outdoor, private, unique venue that you can add your own flare to - cannot recommend enough!!! If we could five 10 stars we would ♥️

My husband Ellis and I got married here July 2024 and couldn’t have asked for a lovelier day! For any couples looking to really make the day their own, enjoy it in their own way and also do something unique I could not recommend this venue enough!! Every single guest we had said “this wedding is so Amy and Ellis”. The setting itself is enough, but the staff were all so friendly, helpful and professional, always there for problem solving and offering solutions and help throughout the build up, and on the day itself incredible!! We really dug our teeth into the DIY aspect of what this venue offers and it completely paid off. It was all we could ever ask for and we thank the EWW team for everything! Amy xx
