A Sustainable Statement

In today's world, where environmental consciousness is at an all-time high, the choice of flowers for special occasions has taken on a new significance. 

Having a sustainable wedding and reducing waste is becoming increasingly important for many couples. It's a way to celebrate their special day while also minimizing their environmental impact.

 

Here is why faux flowers are great:

Reduced Waste: Faux flowers can be reused indefinitely, eliminating the need for frequent replacement and reducing waste in landfills.

Reduced Transportation: Faux flowers can be manufactured locally or imported in bulk, reducing the transportation emissions associated with fresh flowers that are often shipped from distant locations.

Reduced Water and Pesticide Use: Fresh flower cultivation can be resource-intensive, requiring significant amounts of water and pesticides. Faux flowers eliminate the need for these inputs, reducing the environmental impact.

 

Here is why fresh flowers are great:

Biodegradable: Fresh flowers, when composted, can return nutrients to the soil.

Local Sourcing: When sourced locally, fresh flowers can reduce transportation emissions.

Natural Beauty and Fragrance: Their vibrant colors, delicate texture and intoxicating scents create a truly immersive sensory experience.

 

Your personal preference and the desired aesthetic for your wedding should be carefully considered. At Flora, we believe a hybrid approach offers the best balance of sustainability and beauty.

To contribute to environmental consciousness, we recommend incorporating faux flowers for reusable elements like backdrops and centerpieces, while reserving fresh blooms for bouquets or boutonnieres.

This approach allows you to enjoy the fragrance and natural beauty of fresh flowers while minimizing waste and environmental impact.
