Forest-themed Wedding Inspiration

Nature is always the perfect backdrop to any wedding celebration. On March 21st, we recognize the International Day of Forests: proclaimed by the UN in 2012, one way to honor all the amazing benefits forests have to offer is to celebrate a big life event surrounded by nature with a forest-themed wedding. Did you know that spending time in forests actually make us healthier by boosting immune activity? Therefore, celebrating a big life event amongst trees while improving our health just makes sense.

If you desire a gorgeous, nature-inspired wedding surrounded by trees and loved ones, then check out this list of forest-themed inspirations to plan your special day.

Boutonnieres and greenery table décor are a way to bring in the woodsy theme in a classic way. Moss and evergreens bring in lots of texture, intrigue and color and they don’t usually need to be flown in, making them a more sustainable option than flowers.

Tree seedlings are the perfect wedding favor to offer guests in honor of International Day of Forests. Planting trees as a memory of your special day not only lasts a lifetime as it grows, but it also makes a huge positive impact on our environment by playing a part in reducing deforestation. Finding trees that are native to your area helps boost local flora, and if you ask guests to let you know where the trees were planted, this could be a great anniversary tradition of visiting some of the trees as the years go by. Alternatively, grow kits also offer guests an option to plant flowers in your name and move them to a garden or chosen spot and the perennial wildflowers will continue to help pollinators for years to come.
