As September ushers in the beauty of autumn, it’s the perfect time for weddings and events. With sustainability increasingly on everyone’s minds, eco-friendly packaging can make your special occasion both memorable and environmentally conscious. From miniature spirit bottles to charming wedding favours and creative decorations, here’s how to make your event eco-friendly and stylish.


Eco-Friendly Packaging for Weddings and Events

Why Choose Eco-Friendly Packaging?

Eco-friendly packaging not only helps reduce waste but also adds a thoughtful, sustainable touch to your event. Glass, in particular, is a fantastic choice as it is recyclable, reusable, and enhances the premium feel of any occasion.


Miniature Spirit Bottles for Personalised Favour Gifts

Miniature glass bottles are a hit for weddings and events, offering a unique way to share your favourite drinks with guests.

  • Perfect for Homemade Spirits: Fill 50ml mini spirit bottles or 100ml flask bottles with homemade Limoncello, infused gin, or even a signature cocktail for guests to take home.

  • Customised Labelling: Add personalised labels with the couple’s names, event date, and a heartfelt message to make them truly special.

  • Eco-Friendly Benefits: Glass bottles can be reused by guests as keepsakes or for storing small items, reducing waste.

Wedding Favours with a Sustainable Twist

Wedding favours are a small gesture that can leave a big impression, especially when they’re eco-friendly.

  • 1.5oz Mini Jam Jars: Fill small glass jars with homemade jam, honey, or chutney for a thoughtful and delicious gift. These are perfect for autumn-inspired flavours like spiced apple jam or blackberry conserve.

  • Seed-Filled Jars: Offer small glass jars filled with seeds for flowers, herbs, or vegetables as a lasting memento of your special day.

  • Candle Favours: Use small 1oz glass jars to create mini candles, ideal for adding a cosy autumnal vibe to your favours.


Decorations with Eco-Friendly Flair

Glass bottles and jars can double as stunning decorations for your September wedding or event.

  • Centrepieces: Use larger glass jars or bottles as vases for seasonal flowers like dahlias, hydrangeas, and sunflowers. Their natural beauty will enhance your table settings while being sustainable.

  • Fairy Light Holders: Fill clear glass jars with fairy lights for an enchanting, eco-friendly ambiance.

  • Table Numbers: Repurpose glass bottles as table number holders by inserting a printed card into the bottle neck or tying it around the bottle.

Practical Tips for an Eco-Friendly Event

  1. Recycle and Reuse: Encourage guests to take home jars or bottles as keepsakes to ensure nothing goes to waste.

  2. Buy in Bulk: Ordering your glass packaging in bulk reduces transport emissions and often lowers costs.

  3. Partner with Sustainable Suppliers: Work with vendors who share your commitment to sustainability.


Why Glass Is the Perfect Eco-Friendly Option

Glass packaging is a timeless choice for weddings and events. It is recyclable, reusable, and offers an elegant touch that elevates the aesthetic of any occasion. Unlike plastic, glass doesn’t leach chemicals, ensuring it’s safe for food and drinks.


Whether you’re planning a rustic barn wedding, a garden party, or a formal event, eco-friendly glass packaging is a versatile and sustainable option that aligns beautifully with the charm of any event.
