For those pledged to be environmentally conscious, they have already made a reality of the action of reduce the use of plastic materials, excessive carbon dioxide emissions, the use of consumption irresponsible use of products and are looking for greener alternatives to offer their guests without taking the fun out of the celebration, thus designing their dream wedding.
ReuseInstead of disposable plates, dishes or glasses, use stainless steel, bamboo, glass or earthenware.
Sustainable menu: At dinner time you can offer your guests a vegan menu, avoiding meat, dairy products, among others.
Zero wastezero waste in Spanish. Create a logistics plan in which contracted services and purchased products are compostable or recyclable.
