For Packing Clothes

Using jute ribbons instead of plastic on the trousseau packing trays is something that’s really appealing to the millennial brides these days. The wooden look and feel of the trays used for trousseau packing instead of using plastic ones also have a soothing aesthetic appeal. Here are a few more wedding packing ideas you can choose from for the packing of saree, suits or lehengas:

• Cloth ribbons

Use colourful cloth strips or jute ribbons instead of the plastic ones. You can use your old Dupattas, stoles or any piece of cloth as a ribbon. Look for some interesting packing techniques at Lalapalooza or Gracious wrappers. One of the easiest ways to pack your gifts is by using ribbons. Unique or not but this is definitely one of the most used wedding packing ideas guests and couples both indulge in.

• Use buttons

Don’t throw away those hundreds of buttons from all those discarded clothes. Stick different colours and sizes of buttons to decorate your wedding trousseaus. It is an easy DIY way of adding some bling and ring some uniqueness to your gift packaging. Also, the cost would be very less. So, we say its a win-win situation for everybody

• Bamboo trays

Chuck the plastic completely and go for bamboo trays to pack your wedding clothes. Add a little ethnic and classy touch to your whole trousseau trail.

• Saree Swans

When you get your saree packed in the shape of a swan or an origami; you wouldn’t want to cover it with a cellophane paper, would you? Use your sarees to make creative shapes and figurines and avoid the use of plastic covers.
