Couples have been advised they can make their big day an environmentally-friendly affair by handing out plantable wedding invitations.
Julie Greco, writing for the Standard, said these invites are made from recycled paper and are embedded with seeds that can be grown afterwards.
"Guests simply plant the card into the soil and, eventually, it will blossom into beautiful flowers that could also serve as mementos of the wedding day," she explained.
Ms Greco stated weddings generate a lot of waste and she was determined to have an eco-chic style when she married her husband.
Wedding invitations are not the only element of the ceremony that can have a negative environmental impact, she went on to say, with disposable cups, monogrammed napkins and thank-you cards also offenders.
According to Green Uses For Waste, vintage or second-hand wedding dresses are becoming increasingly popular for brides looking for a more sustainable option for their ceremony.
Wedding invitations are the first step towards filling your wedding with friends and family. Make sure you do it right by getting the wedding invitations right.
