In the 21st century, we have to think of sustainability and recycling as they are an integral part of our daily lives. So, when you spend so much time and effort making sure that every minute details of your D-day are perfect, what would do with the extra resources that are left? We have some awesome tips and suggestions on the best ways to reuse and recycle your wedding day items. Read on to know the five best ways that you can take into consideration:
1. Wedding Dress
There are various ways to repurpose your wedding dress, from donating it to a charity that provides outfits to brides who need them, to giving it to a relative or friend to wear it, to tailoring it and turning into something new that can be worn on many occasions. Also, you can use the rest of the pieces to make smaller decor items like pillowcases and quilt. So, don't just let your dress rot in the closet while it collects dust, make sure to make it meaningful to others!
2. Flowers
One of the best ways to recycle flower is to give it to guests who can take it home and appreciate it. Also, you can donate it to local NGOs, hospitals and nursing homes. Get in touch with companies, florists and local businesses for these types of donations. You can also keep the decor items to reuse in your home or use them to decorate post-wedding activities with friends and family.
3. Invitations
So many people throw away their wedding invitations after the wedding. If you want to avoid such wastage, purchase eco-friendly cards. Also, you can cut out your invitation into small strips and re-use to make some Christmas elements that you can display on your Christmas tree all year long.
4. Food
When 195.9 million people are undernourished in India, don't let your wedding food go into waste. Consider making arrangements for your venue or caterer to box up leftovers. Also, you can contact a local food shelter to come and pick it up to serve to people to need it most.
5. Photo Booth Props
You will definitely end up having those fun props leftover from your photo booth! So you can donate them to a local school's drama department, pre-school or daycare so that they can be used for costumes and dress-up. Also, you can reuse some as a party or decor items.
