MUMBAI: There is absolutely no doubt that nobody is immune from weddings' romantic charms. We all wait for that one special (or many) in the year where we can dress our best ethnic wear, put on the most expensive make-up we have purchased to wear only on exclusive occasions and of course, dance our hearts out to the dhol beats.

Weddings in the Bollywood fraternity are full of glitz and glam, the recent example being Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja’s marriage. Netizens and the people who are fanatic about the world of entertainment were constantly updated with what Sonam and Anand wore to the celebrations galore and the ceremonies. All in all, weddings are the perfect place to socialize.

With the world going eco-friendly on so many levels be it food, fitness or religious ceremonies, matrimony too has taken a step ahead.

B-Town has witnessed many celebrities who have gone eco-friendly when it came to their wedding.

For instance, Sonam and Anand who believe in conserving natural resources opted to send out elegantly designed e-invites to all the guests. Similarly, actress Anushka Sharma who tied the knot with cricketer Virat Kohli made an urge to plant trees as part of her wedding invitations. The now couple also included a sapling with every invite that they sent out for their wedding.

Sanna Vohra, Founder - The Wedding Brigade, and Kanupriya and Parag, co-founders - Fotowalle The Story Folks, have a few tips to all of those opting for a wedding galore with an eco-friendly mantra:

Instead of using floral wedding garlands, go for those made with organic or recycled paper flowers.

Request your photographer to give you digital prints rather than wedding albums or proof sheets. Once you have the digital photographs, print a few that you are going to frame. This way you can save paper.

Try and RSVP as many guests as possible before the wedding day so that wastage around food and cutlery is minimised.

Use recycled paper as decor options.

Day wedding is the best option to save both energy and cost in a wedding. In case, you are having an additional night reception, ask your venue for energy saving light bulbs, candles, and use of biodegradable products.

Have your wedding outdoor with lots of natural light, greenery or historic structures. This will minimise your need for decoration. Also, it will save on electricity used for taking photographs.

Avoid using too much of marigold like every other Indian wedding. Use cloth decor like colourful drapes which looks amazing at a wedding day and add colours to your venue. Go for linens of natural fabrics like organic cotton and recycled fabrics.
