SOMETHING GREEN GUIDE

Start planning sustainably.

Whether you're planning a wedding in Idaho or elsewhere in the Northwest, you're surrounded by natural beauty – and that makes it easy to want to take care of it. As a Boise wedding planner with a sustainable approach, I believe you can have both a beautiful and mindful celebration.

I created the Something Green guide to help couples figure out what that can look like in practice. Whether you're looking for low-waste wedding ideas, ways to source locally, or simple swaps to cut down on things that get used once and thrown away, it's a good place to start. The guide is full of realistic ideas at different price points, so you can choose what makes sense for your wedding.

SUSTAINABILITY PRACTICES

How I plan with purpose.

Sustainability is woven into how I run my business and how I guide your planning experience. Here’s how I keep things thoughtful every step of the way:

Sustainable Business Practices

  • Planting trees: I plant a tree for every couple that books with me through One Tree Planted, supporting reforestation and carbon offset efforts.

  • Digital everything: I keep the planning process as paper-free and streamlined as possible by using digital contracts and an online planning portal linked to digital guides, tools, and planning documents.

  • Virtual meetings: Most of our meetings happen online, reducing unnecessary travel.

  • Printing & supplies: When printing is necessary, I print on recycled paper using an Epson EcoTank printer which uses refillable ink reservoirs rather than disposable ink cartridges. Physical office and client materials are purchased thoughtfully, and include recycled paper goods, eco-friendly packaging, and quality long-lasting products from small businesses.

  • Local conservation: I’m a proud member of the Idaho Conservation League and support their efforts to protect the nearby lands that we love.

Sustainable Planning Practices

  • Green planning guidance: I offer every couple realistic, personalized guidance on how to reduce waste, source consciously, and plan a more mindful wedding.

  • Logistics: I help streamline rental orders, prioritize vendors local to your venue, and create efficient wedding day transportation plans to reduce emissions.

  • Vendor collaboration: I spark conversations with vendors to explore lower-impact options where possible.

  • Decor rentals: I have a small inventory of decor available for couples to rent, reducing the need for new purchases. I regularly audit the inventory and donate or sell decor that isn’t regularly used.
