Blumen bei einer freien Trauung

A wedding should not only be beautiful, but also meaningful. More and more couples want a celebration that respects the environment, people, and resources – without giving up style, enjoyment, or emotions. A sustainable wedding in Gran Canaria is possible – and with an experienced wedding planner by your side, it’s also easy to achieve.

In this article you’ll learn how to get married sustainably, stylishly and consciously in Gran Canaria – from choosing vendors to climate-friendly organization.


1. Sustainability starts with planning

Getting married sustainably doesn’t mean “giving up” – it means making conscious choices. As a wedding planner I make sure that you:

  • work with local partners (florists, catering, technical services)
  • avoid waste (e.g. reusable decoration, tableware)
  • save resources – transport, light, water, and energy
  • book vendors who operate sustainably

2. Regional & seasonal highlights

Gran Canaria offers many ways to integrate regional products and services – in the spirit of an “island concept”:

  • Fruit, vegetables, cheese, and wine from local markets
  • Decorations with native plants, natural materials, and dried flowers
  • Dishes with little meat or vegetarian – vegan upon request
  • Traditional music or local artists

This creates an authentic celebration with character – while reducing emissions and unnecessary transport.


3. Eco-friendly details with great impact

Even small actions help make your wedding more sustainable:

  • Invitations digital or on recycled paper
  • Wedding favors as edible gifts, plants, or donation certificates
  • Clothing second-hand, local design, or fair materials
  • Guest travel organized together or by public transport

I support you in the process – and find creative solutions that fit your style.


4. Venues with sustainable concepts

Whether finca, boutique hotel, or private villa: more and more venues on the island are adopting sustainable practices – such as:

  • Solar energy and rainwater collection
  • Organic gardens, local supply chains, vegan options
  • Plastic-free concepts or eco-friendly architecture

I know the right places and help you choose a venue that reflects your values.


5. Green Wedding – stylishly executed

Sustainability doesn’t have to look alternative or improvised. On the contrary: many eco-friendly elements are especially stylish – for example:

  • Natural tones and organic materials
  • Airy outfits made of linen or sustainable silk
  • Minimalist table décor with dried flowers or candles
  • Personal rituals instead of consumer show

The art lies in loving simplicity. I accompany you – from the idea to the big day.


Conclusion: Your wedding can be beautiful – and meaningful

A sustainable wedding in Gran Canaria means: celebrating in harmony with nature, strengthening local structures, and creating a day that benefits not only you, but also your surroundings.

I’m happy to help you organize your Green Wedding in Gran Canaria – stylishly and stress-free.
