WEDDINGS
Delightful Designs
When it comes to choosing your ceremony and reception florals , there are plenty of options available that champion a more eco-friendly touch . Opt for glorious handties placed in vases , or adaptable chickenwire arrangements for your reception decor as opposed to traditional structures that use wasteful floral foam . Having taken over the world of wedding florals in recent years , hanging installations may also be at the top of your dream decor list ; helpfully there are plenty of low-impact options here too such as incorporating dried alternatives or using natural wooden structures . Be sure to work with your florist at this stage in order to be mindful of the materials used , or why not get crafty with DIY alternatives such as creating your own rustic jam jars and placing together chic wildflower posies ?
Everlasting Love
With reducing excess waste wherever possible a key consideration , couples are making a positive shift towards forever and long-lasting arrangements . Remaining ever-popular for this are delightful dried options such as pampas grass and preserved foliage , either paired together with fresh florals for a unique result or as
an eye-catching arrangement on their own that can be repurposed again and again . Swapping traditional designs for pretty potted alternatives is also a brilliant way to shake up your wedding florals with a stylish sustainable twist ; think fresh spring bulbs , luscious foliage plants or trendy succulents that can be reused and reloved long after your celebrations are brought to a close .
A loving keepsake when looking to make the most out of your fresh arrangements once the big day passes is preservation by pressing , drying or using resin - the perfect way to ensure your blooms are able to be loved forevermore .
