Sustainable Destination Weddings

Romantic sustainable destination wedding at Hacienda Tres Rios, Mexico

Destination weddings have been gaining in popularity in recent years as couples realize they can enjoy the glamour and adventure of a destination wedding without necessarily breaking the bank. Sometimes the bride and groom decide to throw an elaborate party in paradise, while other couples prefer an intimate ceremony with just a few close family members and friends.

How does sustainability fit in? The most important part of any wedding is that it should reflect the desires, beliefs, and style of the couple. It’s no surprise that people who believe in protecting the environment and supporting local communities want to express and share that passion on one of the most important days of their lives. Sustainable destination weddings are those that are held at a hotel, resort, or ecolodge that has made a demonstrated commitment to conserving natural resources, protecting plants and wildlife, and supporting local people.
