Sustainability Statement

1. Embracing Natural Beauty:

I deliberately avoid using chemically dyed or bleached flowers in our designs. Each bloom is cherished for its innate beauty, enriching the authenticity of our arrangements.

2. Seasonal Harmony:

My commitment is to align with the seasons, incorporating blooms that naturally flourish around us during specific times of the year. This not only adds authenticity and cohesion with nature to our creations but also promotes the use of in-season flowers.

3. Local Blooms, Global Impact:

I proudly collaborate with a trusted group of British flower farmers in our local area. Their dedication to cultivating beautiful, organic, and fragrant blooms, while adhering to eco-friendly practices, is deeply appreciated. We celebrate and recognise the hard work they invest in creating a better future for our planet.

4. Transparency of imported blooms:

Recognising the necessity of sourcing imported flowers for our year-round floral business, I actively engage in discussions with my wholesalers to learn more about the growers so that I may find suppliers that align with my commitment to sustainability and fair practices both to the environment and to the people working for them.

5.  Sustainable Mechanics:

From the very beginning, my commitment has been to move away from using any form of manufactured floral foam. My approach involves imagination, creativity and continuous research to develop reusable, compostable, and environmentally friendly mechanics. In my designs, I exclusively utilise reusable containers, chicken wire, water, moss, twigs, and other natural materials.

6. Multi-Purpose Designs:

My goal is to craft designs that serve more than one purpose. For instance, in the context of weddings, I create arrangements that seamlessly transition from the ceremony to the reception. In the realm of farewell flowers, my creativity comes into play as I design pieces that can be disassembled into individual components. This enables them to be used at the wake, offered as treasured keepsakes, or even preserved for lasting memories.

7. Minimising Waste:

A conscious effort to avoid waste guides our design process. Careful consideration goes into determining the quantity of flowers needed, and I incorporate durable materials for future use. 

8. Fully Compostable Designs:

For green funerals and other selected occasions, I offer designs featuring fully compostable elements. Our commitment is the use of plant-based materials, wherever possible, that either biodegrade or turn into organic matter.

9. Thoughtful Packaging:

I am mindful in my approach to packaging, using minimal, recyclable, and fully compostable materials in my bouquets. 

10. Efficient Waste Sorting:

My commitment to responsible waste management, I meticulously separate green waste from recyclable elements, ensuring each goes into the appropriate containers for eco-friendly disposal.

 

11. Sustainable Sourcing:

As part of our dedication to sustainability, I actively seek second-hand vases, containers, and vintage items for weddings and events. This not only reduces waste but adds a unique touch to the designs. My commitment to sustainability extends to the materials I use in our creations. I repurpose reclaimed wood, jam jars, and bottles to craft sustainable mechanics.
