Sustainable Ideas for an Eco-Friendly Wedding

Over the years, Iโ€™ve seen a wedding or two- or 200 :P and Iโ€™ve seen how wasteful they can beโ€ฆ but they donโ€™t HAVE to. So much of this industry is about the planning up until the event- but not about what happens after.

So I decided to collect a list of my favorite sustainable ideas from past weddings Iโ€™ve shot, or from other resources on the interwebs and put them all in one place, so itโ€™s easy to share with new clients, and anyone who happens upon this blog post while wedding planning!
