5 Ways this hotel in Bali makes sustainable wedding a reality

When it comes to weddings, luxury and sustainability don’t always go hand-in-hand. But at The Apurva Kempinski Bali, they’re making it possible for couples to have their dream wedding while still being kind to the environment. Here are five ways this luxury hotel in Bali is making sustainable wedding a reality.

1. Choosing sustainable wedding decoration

The Apurva Kempinski Bali proudly collaborates with Designmill Co., a leading wedding decorator company in Bali passionate about using sustainable decoration.

The venue is adorned with beautifully crafted papeteries made from recycled materials, potted flowers instead of fresh-cut blooms, and wooden furniture, while natural fabrics drape down from the ceiling to bring local charm into the room.

Designmill Co. has partnered with Kaeen, an Indonesian fashion brand that champions creativity through fabric design.

2. Supporting local businesses

This sustainable wedding in Bali initiative supports the local economy.

In addition to working with Designmill Co., The Apurva Kempinski Bali is also collaborating with SukkhaCitta, an ethical fashion company.

An award-winning social enterprise that helps improve the lives of people in rural Indonesia, SukkhaCitta will make the wedding dress. This sustainable fashion company has been certified as a B-corp, which means the company is committed to social and environmental responsibility.

Local artisans, Puri Ata and Taga Woodcraft, provide locally made items as a sustainable wedding gift.

3. Offering sustainable food and beverage options

The Apurva Kempinski Bali offers a variety of sustainable dining options for wedding events.

The resort partners with Plaga Farm, a local farm that grows vegetables, fruits, herbs, and edible flowers in a hydroponic and organic greenhouse.

Other local brands, Tanamera Coffee and Balian Water, also participate in the sustainability wedding initiative. These companies are creating products that are environmentally and community-friendly.

This partnership with local enterprises ensures that your wedding menu features fresh and delectable ingredients that are healthy for you and the planet.

4. Reducing carbon footprint

All weddings come with a certain amount of carbon emissions, whether it’s from guests flying in or the event itself.

The Apurva Kempinski Bali reduces its carbon footprint by implementing several sustainable practices. For example, the resort has been replacing single-use plastic items, like straws, with biodegradable alternatives. This means that the straws will break down and not harm the environment.

The rooftop area has been utilized to grow a range of vegetables for a more environmentally friendly kitchen at the resort.

The Apurva Kempinski Bali also introduced the Green Linen Artefact to the guests as a way to enhance their local experience and to demonstrate Kempinski’s true craftsmanship.

The Linens for Life program, in collaboration with Diversey, distributes free face masks created from clean and hygienic discarded hotel linen to people in need throughout the local community.

Meanwhile, the Soap for Hope initiative provides soap to those in the community who need it. New soap bars are created by chopping, disinfecting, and then pressing together soaps from the resort.

5. Educating its team and guests

The Apurva Kempinski Bali has a team of “green ambassadors” who are always looking for ways to make the hotel more sustainable.

They educate their team members and guests about the importance of sustainable practices. They also explain how each one can make a difference by making small changes.

The team is also available to help guests with anything they need related to sustainability. This includes helping them plan a sustainable wedding and finding the best eco-friendly products.

If you’re looking for a luxury hotel for your wedding that’s also environmentally friendly, the Apurva Kempinski Bali is a great option. Their dedication to sustainability means you can have your dream wedding without worrying about the impact it will have on the planet.
