Planning a wedding and want to keep it green? You’re not alone. More and more couples are choosing to celebrate their big day in ways that are thoughtful, intentional, and environmentally conscious. At Haus 820, we’ve seen firsthand how sustainability and style can go hand in hand—and we’re sharing five ideas to help you plan a wedding that’s beautiful and Earth-friendly.
As a modern wedding venue in Florida, we know how important it is to create memorable moments while also caring for the environment. These tips are designed to reduce waste, support local, and leave a lasting impression.
1. Potted Plant Seating Chart
One of our recent couples incorporated small potted herbs and florals into their seating chart design. Each plant was labeled with a guest’s name and table assignment—and at the end of the night, guests took them home to plant in their gardens. It was a charming, functional, and zero-waste alternative to traditional escort cards.
2. Choose Local and Seasonal Florals
Working with local florists who use in-season blooms not only reduces your event’s carbon footprint—it also supports small businesses in the community. The result? Fresh, vibrant arrangements that feel connected to the place and season.

3. Opt for Reusable Decor
Skip the single-use items and explore decor pieces that can be rented, repurposed, or donated. Think elegant fabric napkins, vintage glassware, and versatile backdrops. Our open-concept layout at Haus 820 makes it easy to design a space that’s both sustainable and stunning.
4. Reduce Paper Waste
Consider digital invitations or minimize printed materials with a well-designed wedding website. If printed items are important to you, choose recycled paper or plantable paper that grows wildflowers when planted.
5. Choose a Venue That Values Sustainability
Venues play a major role in a wedding’s environmental impact. At Haus 820, we encourage green practices and partner with vendors who share that commitment. Our natural light, versatile space, and central location make it easy to host a beautiful celebration with intention.
Sustainability doesn’t mean sacrificing style. With thoughtful choices, your wedding can be as kind to the planet as it is unforgettable.
