It just takes careful consideration of all parameters involved, from flights to napkins. Once we have all the data, we'll estimate your wedding's ecological footprint and start planning for actions to mitigate it. So, if you want to marry in Greece with the least possible environmental impact, you are in the right place.
To guide couples through our process, we have created a comprehensive guide of all related parameters. Here, we share a short rendition, just to give you and idea of things to consider.
Eco friendly guestlist
First of all, you'll need to know how many guests are coming and where are they coming from. Then, you need to consider the duration of their stay, as well as their travel and accommodation. Likewise, if you are planning collateral wedding activities, guest participation must also be tallied. There is only one thing here to remember: Their footprint is your footprint. And that is why it is important to plan ahead and consider every angle.
Eco conscious couple
Now that you have your guests accounted for, it is time to consider your impact. Apart from traveling and accommodation, your eco impact is affected by many more - less obvious - choices. Make sure you keep in mind your sustainable wedding goals, when you choose your wedding attire, shoes and rings. Nowadays, there are so many elegant options, that are environmentally friendly. From eco conscious wedding attire, and ethical & conflict-free engagement rings and wedding bands, to sustainable shoes. We do not suggest you limit your choices. On the contrary, we propose you broaden your exploration. Make sure you consider designers that use sustainable and ethically sourced materials, before you make your final selection.
Sustainable ceremony
When you are planning an eco friendly wedding, bear in mind that every little thing counts. Consider the invitations, the venue, the menu, the decorations, any gifts for your guests, your wedding registry. This extends to any collateral activities you may wish to plan for you and your guests. So, every time you choose an eco friendly alternative, you are reducing your wedding's environmental footprint. These choices will either make or break your eco friendly wedding. The more eco conscious choices you make here, the less restorative actions will be required to balance the impact. So think organic and be inventive. We will be here to help you every step of the way.
The final score
This score refers to the total estimation of your wedding's environmental footprint. We will calculate it based on your wedding choices. Then, we will propose actions we can take to minimize it. Even if you have to fly over half the world to get here.
