W ith an increasing awareness of our environmental impact , 2025 weddings are embracing unique eco-friendly choices more than ever before . Luckily for us , opting for sustainability doesn ’ t mean sacrificing on style . As big day arrangements continue to evolve with an abundance of passion and individuality , there are so many options available that seamlessly combine both design and practical consideration .

From carefully chosen floral selections to striking everlasting arrangements , here is how you can lend a helping hand to our planet while transforming your celebrations with the ultimate floral decor for your 2025 wedding .
Pick of the Season
One of the simplest yet most effective ways to ensure you are making thoughtful selections for your floral designs is choosing your flower varieties with the season in mind . Resulting in not only high-quality blooms at their best but also promoting a more ethical end result , seasonal styling is a long-loved favourite of florists for its many shining benefits .
With flower growing having surged in production in recent years and florals of all varieties now available all year round , the natural growing cycle today is often supported by excess heat and energy .
By choosing flowers that are currently growing throughout your selected wedding season , therefore - from tulips and hyacinths in spring to dahlias and sunflowers in summer - you are contributing to decreasing the amount of energy wasted on excess production .
When in the early stages of floral planning , it is also important to keep in mind how local your chosen blooms are to reduce the carbon footprint through transportation . Our blossoming Garden of England is particularly helpful for this with its array of wonderful growers who supply beautiful blooms such as roses , lavender , hydrangeas and peonies to Kent florists and beyond .
