Offsetting the carbon emissions from your event can be a consideration,
after you have done as much as possible to reduce your wedding’s environmental impact.
For an event, there are many elements which can be calculated to offset the carbon emissions such as:
Distance travelled by the bridal party and guests including flights and car travel
Ceremony and reception venue energy use, distance travelled on honeymoon.
