GO VEGGIE An easy way to reduce your wedding’s carbon footprint is by reducing the amount of meat consumed. My husband and I are both vegetarian, however we have many friends and family members who do eat meat. We wanted our food to be vegetarian without the feeling there was something missing. We opted for curry, served in sharing bowls on every table. It went down a storm and everyone loved it. Many of our meat eating guests didn’t notice the difference, we had so many compliments, and by serving it from sharing bowls, we reduced the amount of food waste as well. If you don’t want to ditch the meat completely then make sure it’s sustainably farmed, and ideally locally sourced, along with other seasonal ingredients.
