Updated: Aug 14, 2023

Below are sustainable wedding gifts, which are not only sustainable but also thoughtful and consciously made to offer a little token of your love for the new couple starting this new journey together.


1. Recycled Glass Rustic Vases


The first thing on our Top Ten Sustainable Wedding Gifts guide is| these stunning recycled glass rustic vases by The Pink Pheasant. These glass rustic vases are made from recycled glass and use natural dyes. These vases would look beautiful on their own, with flowers or even some LEDs.

2. ZeroSmart’s Carbon Offset Gift for Environmental Couples


Give the gift of a guilt-free wedding - ZeroSmart’s Gift for Environmental Couples will remove greenhouse gases and reduce the newlyweds’ impact on the environment by funding multiple climate solutions. There are four different options you can select from, each reducing the couple's joint carbon footprint for a certain period - from 3 months to 2 years.


Each gift comes with a personalised certificate with the giftee’s names showing their climate impact. There is extra information on the trees you’ve planted, the climate solutions you’ve supported and how it all works. Customers have described this Earth-friendly wedding gift as easy, has a fast set-up and doesn't clutter up the newlywed home.


3. StitchAmbition Hand Embroidery Hoops & Personalised Home Decor & Gifts


StitchAmbition makes beautiful, hand made embroidered hoops which are sold on Etsy. All hoops are made bespoke, just for you. All hoops come gift-wrapped and can be sent directly to the recipient of the gift.

4. Dried Bouquet Art


Not only is this a beautiful way to preserve the flowers from the bouquet and the wedding, but it also helps to eliminate waste from having to throw away the dead flowers afterwards. The key with this gift is to make a plan with the bride beforehand, as long as she doesn’t already have something in mind for preservation. This gift is incredibly meaningful for the bride and a lovely art piece for the couple to share.


We recommend Creation's Personalised Botanical dried pressed flower frame hanging wall art. Not only will you be able to preserve the flowers but also make a beautiful piece of art for their home.

The box comes wrapped in recyclable tissue paper printed with eco-friendly inks and a protective sleeve for transport, making them the perfect gift.
