A wedding is a significant, beautiful, and often expensive occasion for many individuals. However, the cost of a wedding is not just limited to the financial aspect. Many other hidden costs, specifically the environmental damage caused by weddings, are often overlooked.

From the plastic confetti to the dress only worn once and the large amounts of meat served, weddings can significantly negatively impact the environment. It's important to be mindful of these factors and try to minimise the environmental impact of your wedding.

If you're interested in planning an eco-friendly wedding, you might want to check out Anna Masiello and her fiancé. The couple organises a zero-waste wedding, and Anna has been sharing tips and ideas on her TikTok profile. She's been focusing on eco-friendly and zero-waste solutions for some time now, especially for weddings.

One of her most popular videos is about how to make biodegradable confetti from plants. Although Anna loves the tradition of confetti, she cares more about the environment and wanted to find a way to celebrate that's kinder to the planet.

The couple had collected various tree leaves and flower petals ahead of time, which the girl used to create confetti. She dried the leaves and cut them into small circles, as shown in the video below. It's a fantastic example of zero waste!

In addition, the couple plans to take more zero-waste measures. Anna will wear a linen dress made from second-hand material to the wedding. The reception will not serve any fish or meat; it will be a vegan celebration. Guests will receive their invitations electronically.

As you can see from this couple's example, a zero-waste wedding is entirely possible and no less complicated to organise. We encourage you to browse through Anna's profile, as it's a great source of inspiration.
