First, let’s get the misconceptions out of the way. According to Captain Ashwin Malwade, the co-founder of Greenmyna, the most ubiquitous queries he has fielded in his work as a sustainable curator of weddings and events include clients asking whether sustainable weddings are more expensive than “regular” ones, whether the wedding will be “normal” or something completely out of the box which would antagonise families, being asked why the client should care about waste disposal and management as such things “should not be their concern,” and people wondering how a green wedding would benefit the guests who are attending it, fearing it will devolve into an awareness programme on waste management.
