Eco-Friendliness
One Green thought can go a long way
For large events, including weddings there is a big expenditure of resources and a high amount of waste. So, in early 2009 Bliss Parties owner Ghita Andersen investigated and sourced products that could reduce this waste, and thereby reduce the carbon footprint of every event. “I have done so many events over the years, and always believed there was a shocking amount of waste.” said Ms Andersen.
The results revealed that with some tweaking and using a few alternate products, a whole new system using biodegradable and recyclable materials could cater to a growing market. This benefits the venues, event managers, corporate and private clients, guests and local environment. Also adding a luxurious feel and healthiness to an event.
Bliss Parties have created a floral centerpiece catalogue that is colour coded to show it’s eco-friendly ratings.
