stay connected
Weddings are a celebration of love, but they can also create more waste than many couples realize. From single-use décor to transportation logistics, the environmental footprint of a wedding day can add up quickly. At PINE in Charlotte, we believe your special day can be beautiful, memorable, and eco-conscious all at once. With a few thoughtful choices, you can plan a sustainable wedding that aligns with your values and still feels effortlessly chic.
Why Choose Sustainability?
Charlotte couples are increasingly seeking ways to celebrate responsibly. Opting for sustainable wedding practices doesn’t just reduce waste, it also helps support the local community, protects the environment, and gives your guests a celebration they’ll feel good about attending. Plus, planning with intention often results in a wedding that feels even more personal and meaningful.
Eco-Friendly Décor That Fits PINE’s Aesthetic
Our airy, modern-industrial interiors mean you don’t need to over-decorate. Minimal design can shine here, but if you want to add personal touches, consider:
Reusable rentals like elegant glassware, linens, and signage.
Repurposed décor that can move from ceremony to reception.
Seasonal greenery and florals from Charlotte-based farms, which reduce transport emissions and support local growers.
Farm-to-Table (and Glass!) Catering
Food is a central part of any wedding, and choosing a caterer that focuses on local, seasonal menus is one of the most impactful decisions you can make. Charlotte boasts incredible farm-to-table chefs who can design a menu that’s fresh, delicious, and sustainable. Pair that with locally-sourced beverages from North Carolina wineries and breweries offer plenty of unique options.
Thoughtful Guest Experiences
Small, intentional details add up when it comes to sustainability:
Digital invitations instead of paper.
Shuttle services or ride shares to cut down on individual cars.
Eco-friendly favors like seeds, reusable mugs, or donations to a local cause.
