Give Back
Donate leftover flowers or decor to non-profits. Consider supporting environmental causes, like those The Palms partners with, such as the Coral Restoration Foundation or Surfrider Miami.
Sustainable Wedding Ideas
- Floral Practices: Choose foam-free designs using seasonal, local flowers to reduce waste.
- Decor: Use reusable or rental items and natural elements like foliage. LED lighting reduces energy consumption.
- Dishware: Use reusable dishes and avoid plastic or Styrofoam.
- Wedding Wardrobe: Choose vintage or sustainable options, and consider wearing something borrowed or secondhand.
- Food: Opt for local, seasonal, and plant-based dishes and make sure you’re reducing waste.
- Engagement Ring: Choose lab-grown diamonds or vintage pieces to minimize environmental impact.
- Candles: Use beeswax candles instead of paraffin for better air quality.
- Eco-Friendly Toss: Avoid plastic-based toss items like rice or balloons. Use biodegradable flower petals or skip this tradition.
With thoughtful decisions, you can create a memorable wedding that reflects your values and supports a healthier planet.
