in their wedding that they can reduce their impact, from wedding dresses and makeup to favours and decorations. “The biggest barrier most people face [to being sustainable] is inconvenience, so the most popular choices are also the easiest, like the compostable dishware … reusing floral arrangements, and making use of the water station instead
of buying flats of plastic water bottles,” says Jess Freese, who owns Sunwolf with her husband Jake Freese. At the end of the day, weddings are about celebrating love, and what stronger love is there than the one for our planet? While going green can seem daunting, many of the sustainable actions lead to lower costs, and are easy to implement.
The best part is the environmental practices that couples learn and spread to their guests. “Maybe we get one person who thinks, ‘That’s such an easy thing; I could incorporate that into my daily life,” said Tazzman. And that makes all the difference to the world.
