This makes weddings unnecessarily expensive and at the same time wedding functions aren\u2019t very eco-friendly. However, times are changing, and the Eco-friendly wedding trend is on the rise and still has a long way to go.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recently a Yulu baraat in Bengaluru has garnered much love across the country. People loved the groom\u2019s effort to create less traffic and pollution while it was more economical. This Yulu baraat gave all Indians a major goal to follow. You know you can plan your entire wedding more eco-friendly and economical. I will tell you how. If you are also getting married soon and want to reduce the carbon footprint of weddings follow along.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wear Family Heirlooms<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You know you can save a lot of money by wearing your family heirlooms and it will have very little carbon footprints. Instead of purchasing outfits for different wedding events, you can upcycle your mom\u2019s and grandma\u2019s wedding costumes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the best tricks that I have learned over the years is that I will upcycle all my ethnic wear which I have purchased for my friend&#8217;s or cousin\u2019s wedding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I will change the dupatta and blouse of my old lehenga and create a new set for the Haldi function. Instead of spending thousands on a new lehenga or saree, I will spend a minimum amount.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the cocktail outfit, I will use my sequence saree and get a new outfit made of it. I will again save huge amounts of money by not purchasing all new outfits which would cost a minimum between 10-20K.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hence, in two events I might save around 30-35K easily. Also, a very minimal carbon footprint will happen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-23635 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clovia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/wear-family-heirlooms-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"wear family heirlooms\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clovia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/wear-family-heirlooms-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.clovia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/wear-family-heirlooms-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.clovia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/wear-family-heirlooms-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.clovia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/wear-family-heirlooms-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.clovia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/wear-family-heirlooms-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.clovia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/wear-family-heirlooms-45x45.jpg 45w, https:\/\/www.clovia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/wear-family-heirlooms.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Doing Wedding Events in Daylight<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Planning haldi, Mehandi and sangeet functions in the daytime outdoors saves electricity.
