Sustainability has moved from being a trend to a value couples actively seek. With global awareness on climate change and waste, many are now planning weddings that reflect their environmental values.

Eco-conscious choices include using local flowers, digital invitations, biodegradable décor, repurposed outfits, and supporting vendors who follow sustainable practices. Many are also choosing smaller guest lists and outdoor venues to minimize their footprint.

For vendors, going green is not only responsible—it’s smart business. Couples are more likely to work with professionals who care about the future of the planet. AWP advocates for sustainable practices and supports members in transforming their services accordingly. Sustainability is no longer optional—it’s a competitive edge.
