3. Consider an eco-friendly wedding
Traditional weddings have always featured a lot of single-use elements – from floral arrangements to party flavors. Support for sustainability is the new norm as both vendors and couples advance towards more eco-conscious details to reduce the carbon footprint of wedding receptions and ceremonies. Brides can now re-sell their dresses through online consignment stores, teams can offer green party favors such as wildflower seed bombs, and florists can donate flowers for reuse after a wedding. It helps significantly reduce the budgeting cost of the wedding too since instead of purchasing things, you can lease and return.
4. Skip bridesmaids and groomsmen
In this pandemic, one of the most common and latest trends in weddings is the leaving out of the bridesmaids and groomsmen. You may invite a best man and best lady to co-officiate the wedding while having a fun wedding all the same. This kind of wedding gives the focus wholly the wedding couple. This strategy also helps to avoid wedding disasters easily.
