The Sustainable Luxury Wedding Framework


A Staged Methodology — v1.0

Introduction

A genuinely sustainable wedding isn't one decision — it's a sequence of choices across planning, vendor selection, and the event itself. Here's a five-stage framework for thinking through it.

The five stages

1. Sourcing

Choosing local, seasonal, and low-waste materials for décor and catering.

2. Vendor Selection

Prioritizing vendors with documented sustainable practices.

3. Waste Diversion

Planning for composting, donation, and recycling before the event, not improvising on the day.

4. Guest Communication

Setting expectations (digital invitations, transport coordination) in advance.

5. Post-Event Reporting

Measuring what was actually diverted from landfill, not just what was planned.
