Savouring Sustainable Delights
Make your school ball a culinary delight that's easy on the planet. Choose a caterer that sources local and organic ingredients. Include a variety of plant-based and vegetarian options to reduce carbon emissions. Opt for compostable or reusable tableware and provide recycling and compost bins for waste disposal.
Spreading the Green Word
In today's digital age, paper invitations are a thing of the past. Send chic digital invitations to save trees and reduce costs. Leverage social media and your school's website for event promotion. Collaborate with local eco-friendly businesses for marketing materials.
Sustainable Decor That Dazzles
Transform your venue into a sustainable wonderland with decor that wows. Opt for repurposed or borrowed decor items, reducing waste. Consider DIY decorations or engage a dedicated team. After the ball, donate or recycle the decorations to minimise environmental impact.
Green Glamour - Dress and Accessory Rentals
Reduce fast fashion by encourage students to rent their dresses and accessories rather than buying and promoting second-hand shopping for unique, eco-conscious fashion choices. Elegance meets sustainability with Belle of the Ball's wide rental range of stunning dresses and stylish accessories, including shoes, bags, wraps and ties, all reducing the demand for new clothing production. We also have a brand focus on sustainability.
Travel Sustainably
Encourage students to carpool, use a party bus or share rides to the event, reducing emissions. Offer incentives like preferred parking for carpoolers.
Entertainment and Activities
Select local bands or DJs who support sustainability, showcasing New Zealand's talent. Plan eco-friendly activities and games that resonate with your green theme. Set up a green photo booth with reusable props and digital photo sharing to reduce paper waste.
The Essential Checklists
Stay organised with a detailed planning timeline, complete with deadlines and regular progress reviews. Set a budget and carefully track expenses, seeking sponsorships or partnerships with eco-conscious businesses.
Give Dresses a Second Life
Remember that your beautiful dresses have the potential to bring joy and style to others. If you didn’t rent your dress, instead of letting it gather dust in the back of your wardrobe, consider donating it! By doing so, you contribute to a circular economy, where fashion doesn't go to waste but continues to shine in the lives of others. So, why not let someone else create their own unforgettable moments in a dress that's already had its own magical night?
