Are you planning to get married soon? Well, congratulations are in order. But, is your wedding venue a sustainable one? Are your wedding plans not impacted by budget crunches? Enter, shipping containers.
A lot has been said and done about used shipping containers in the last few years. Freight containers have proven to be useful in numerous fields providing storage and sustainable infrastructure after they have done their bit on a shipping deck. However, shipping containers have also found employment and fame recently as wedding trends. Yes, you read that right. A lot of couples are settling for specialised containers in NZ for their marriage.
Well, no, they are not explicitly choosing to get married inside a shipping container. Instead, they are using old shipping containers as a creative solution for their wedding décor and infrastructure. Here’s how:
In times where some couples are spending hundreds and thousands to get married with a scenic landscape as the backdrop to their vows, some couples are going the more practical route and using shipping containers as the backdrop for their wedding. This should make it apparent that cargo container weddings are not for everyone. They are cost-effective and generate a smaller carbon footprint, but if you always wanted a dreamy destination or church wedding, then they are not for you.
Some couples settle for a shipping container backdrop, where the stacked boxes of different colours offer different aesthetic appeal. Some couples even go the extra mile by using rusty, dusty, old shipping containers that do not even look clean, for their kitschy appeal.
Unless everyone in your family and the guest-list comprise of teetotallers, the lack of a bar at your reception may be a turn off for many. A wedding reception is incomplete without a drinks counter. But, they cost a lot of time and money to set up. So, why not use a cargo container bar?
A shipping container bar is an innovative addition to your wedding. You can use the shipping container to set up the bar and inventory rack. Some creative couples have the side panels folded out to provide seating arrangement for the guests. Repurposed shipping containers can provide a bar counter set up at any wedding, not just the ones hosted with an eco-friendly theme in mind.
Some couples incorporate a shipping container bar or backdrop for kitsch aesthetic appeal. While some others go the whole nine yards basing the entire venue on shipping containers. A lot of businesses have turned empty, unused real estate into a viable wedding venue, by using shipping containers for everything- the seating arrangement, the altar, the bar section, et al.
If you know of or own any unused space, then you can rent specialised containers in NZ and set up your wedding venue as per your vision and tastes.
There are very few who can understand the aesthetic potency of a rusty, metal container glowing up under the reflection of wedding lights. Gone are the days, when getting married at a destination or even within a church was the craze. The future is now, and the future looks sustainable.
