I can feel the winter air blowing through, wiping away the traces of summer. With that comes the wonderland of winter lovers preparing their dream winter weddings.
And one of the biggest winter wedding trends we’re seeing this year is the idea of sustainability. Planning a wedding that protects the environment while still being a beautiful day.
Without further pause, let’s jump into the biggest winter wedding trends that focus on sustainability.
1.Something borrowed box
One of our favourite additions to our sustainable winter wedding trends is the idea of a something borrowed box. This encapsulates the idea of an eco-conscious wedding perfectly.
This is where a bride will collect all of the gently used wedding decor, such as the table numbers, candles, or any other decorative pieces, and place them into a box/ multiple boxes. These will then be given out to either friends/family or through groups of other eco-friendly brides. This is perfect for lowering waste and supporting other budgeting or eco-friendly brides.
2.Using a wedding shuttle bus
More fun winter wedding trends that support sustainability include the use of a wedding shuttle bus. This is where a bus will pick up the majority of guests from a certain pickup point/points and deliver them to the wedding venue.
This is perfect for avoiding the car emissions of everyone driving to the wedding. Being a far more sustainable option in this list of winter wedding trends, while also offering other benefits, such as ensuring no lateness or delays regarding the guests.
3.Second-hand Wedding Dress
This is one of the most popular winter wedding trends is using a second-hand wedding dress, reusing a wedding dress to avoid waste and lowering the environmental impact that it takes to manufacture a new dress.
Using a second-hand wedding dress can have a range of other benefits, such as rare/high-quality dresses becoming more affordable. For a sentimental addition to the winter wedding trends, using a mother’s or a maternal figure’s past wedding dress can be a wonderful idea, while also being increasingly sustainable.
4. Hiring wedding furniture
Using event equipment hire, especially from one distributor, is rapidly rising on the list of winter wedding trends. And with outdoor weddings on the rise, hiring marquee furniture from one place supports sustainability, avoids wastage, and multiple delivery trips from multiple locations.
Using our wedding bench hire allows for a budget-friendly and sustainable option. Hiring our furniture, such as a luxury toilet hire or a marquee heater hire, extends the life of existing items and lowers a carbon footprint immensely. Not only this, but hiring wedding furniture is a more affordable option, especially for one-time use items, and with delivery, setup, and pickup, there is zero stress in the process.
5. High-quality details
Finally, in our list of fast-growing sustainable winter wedding trends is the usage of high-quality items and decor.
The most efficient way to have high-quality, sustainable, and budget-friendly furniture and decor is through event equipment hire. For example, using a chvari chair hire alongside a firepit hire makes for gorgeous, high-quality decor while also supporting sustainability.
High-quality decor adds a level of style and elegance to a winter wedding and creates an environment of memorability – definitely a no-skip trend to implement.
