A beautiful Christmas doesn’t have to come with unnecessary waste 🎄✨
This season, a few small choices can make a big difference especially when preparing for events.
Here are our favourite tips for minimising waste while keeping everything luxe, thoughtful, and festive:
♻️ Choose reusable décor or rent from companies
Opt for quality pieces you can or are repurposed year after year - candles, glassware, vases, linens, and elegant styling elements.
🌿 Incorporate natural + NZ native florals
Pōhutukawa, kōwhai, harakeke blooms, and mānuka sprigs add festive flair without plastics or landfill-bound materials.
🎁 Switch to sustainable gifting
Think edible gifts, NZ-made products, or reusable or recycled packaging - items your team or clients will truly enjoy.
🍽️ Plan catering consciously
Work with caterers who offer local produce and proper food-waste management. Right-sizing your menu is key.
💡 Energy-efficient lighting
LEDs and warm solar accents make your event sparkle without the heavy footprint.
At Ninety Nine Reasons, sustainability is part of our ethos - creating events and ideas that feel good, look incredible, and tread lightly.
