Guest Blogger: Tara of Lavish Events , a Nashville-based, wedding planning company
It’s always wonderful to support a local business, and even more wonderful if that business supplies products that are environmentally friendly. Now, don’t get confused - I am not a believer in global warming or the notion that the world is going to self implode. But I do believe in personal responsibility and I believe that carries forward in every facet of life. It’s important to treat God’s creation with the utmost respect, and always try to better the world in which we live.
This brings me to Nashville Wraps - a locally owned packaging company right out of sweet sweet Tennessee. Nashville Wraps is where Schakolad (our chocolate factory) buys most of their packaging, and also where I direct clients who need favor boxes or gift bags for their events. They have an entire section devoted to eco-friendly products made out of recycled or biodegradable materials. They are also stylish - gotta love that!
Here are a few picks:
100% recycled kraft boxes in many different sizes
Gift packaging printed on 100% recycled kraft paper
Bags made from Encore film - 25% recycled plastics collected in the US - also 100% recyclable at any collection station
Cotton curling ribbon made of 100% non woven renewable and biodegradable cotton fiber
Biodegradable cello bags - perfect for a candy buffet!
Thanks Tara for telling us all about Nashville Wraps. In addition to all of the great eco-friendly products, since they are locally based, their products don’t have to be shipped far, which further reduces the impact on the environment!
