Another way to ensure an eco-friendly wedding is by reducing or cutting down on electricity consumption. Night functions and celebrations require more lights and fuel run generators. The best way to reduce electricity consumption is by opting for outdoor day functions.

You can opt for reusable wedding decorations and make it greener. It is not necessary that you have to buy and opt for eco-friendly products. You can make the right choices by repurposing what’s already available. You can use wine bottles for decoration or paint your old furniture and stuff and decorate the venue. Or you can even opt for reusable wedding signage and go for handwritten chalkboard signs. 

6. Leftover Flowers

You just have to find the right person for this task to execute this eco-friendly wedding idea. Other than that, you can also opt for local flowers instead of fancy decorations.
