Green Events – how to incorporate nature-friendly ethos to your events
The amount of expenditure and wastage that goes in decorating events is daunting!
Knowingly and unknowingly people spend on things that might not be needed which add to the garbage in the city! With all of us working towards a cleaner country, why not resort to eco-friendly green events that will leave a mark on others as well as save you good money?
Well, all it takes is little effort and some good intention to decorate your event that can invite more of nature, eccentricity and warmth we all deserve to share and feel.
Here, we are listing down some beautiful eco-friendly ideas to decorate your special place for a memorable occasion.
1. For Birthdays
Kids love the colourful decor and when it comes to their birthday, they can’t hold back their urge to throw a party that will set them apart from their peers. However, this is the right time to teach children about being environmental friendly right from the beginning. To add to the colourful theme, use kites as the most important element. Kites are nice, cute and vibrant that will attract anybody’s attention! Hang up kites in different colours on the venue, food tables and stalls, or the entrance alley. The sheer vividness of kites is all you’d need to ace the birthday event. Also, small blackboards with peppy words written on it can be used to decorate the walls and also educate the kids in an interactive way.
2. For Wedding
For the green-conscious couple, the ones who want to make their wedding not only special but also refreshing, one recently witnessed popular idea is having your wedding in the midst of a marigold field in a farmhouse (obviously if it’s a day event)! This will save the huge investment that goes in flower decoration. This not only gives a refreshing view but also adds an irresistible fragrance to the wedding area from natural flowers. Tables could be decorated with small earthen pots with single flower buds. Also, a stand of different flower pots can be kept for guests to pick one and take it home. Remember, eco-conscious doesn’t only imply greenery but also includes using environment-friendly, biodegradable and reusable substances.
3. For Haldi Ceremony
For your Haldi ceremony, how about keeping it a family-union affair and bringing the bride and groom together? Well, this should be the first step towards a cost-effective, eco-conscious and a “romantic” wedding. Plan the Haldi event for the bride and groom together. For decoration, instead of wasting lights simply choose yellow cloth, yellow umbrellas and in fact yellow kites. After the event, the bride and groom family can even have a small kite-flying competition too, how about that?
4. For Mehndi ceremony
Without a doubt, the Mehendi ceremony is the right day to go-green! Instead of creating and setting up fancy structures, choose a place with trees to hold the function. Organise the Mehendi festivities under the shades of trees and use small plants to decorate the tables. Needless to say, you can use natural Mehendi out of organic substances avoiding the use of chemicals.
5. For Night Sangeet Party
Night functions imply mad dancing, drinking and eating. But if you are an alcoholic person similar at https://www.anormed.com/blog/what-is-alcoholics-anonymous/, Surely you can’t cut down on alcohol but the previously used bottles can be used as a decoration element! Organise the empty bottles in a creative way and put up yellow lit wires around them. This will not only add a Bohemian vibe to your Sangeet ceremony but also pump up the mood of your guests. For table decoration, use jute buckets with plants that will add creativity to your event. The basket can be decorated with worn-out bangles (covered with colourful threads). This will significantly save the expenditure and wastage on plucking flowers or using plastic to create decorative stuff.
P.S. While searching for eco-friendly decor items, make sure you visit a best-out-of-waste creative shop before you enter a fancy store. On the demand of many, decorators these days have also started to adopt eco-friendly ways to make the events look extra chic, every bit gorgeous and very elegant!
