After a long period of searching for the perfect solutions and with a very successful test run on Mother’s Day, we are officially removing all unnecessary packaging. We feel that even tho our flower bags and cellophane has been recyclable for a while now, there’s still more we could do. From the end of March we’ve opted to deliver all of our arrangements in a glass vase instead of an aqua pack and just use a simple recyclable brown paper to protect the blooms from bruising in the van during deliveries. We have seen how popular our ‘Zerowaste posies’ were in the past few years and we will continue to run our ‘Vaserturn’ service that will enable you 10% off...
There’s been an overwhelming flurry of wedding inquiries lately and we thought a check list of our process might be helpful for those of you that haven’t done anything similar before.

Step 1: Remove all decorations (pine cones, baubles, feathers etc.), these can be reused again if stored appropriately. Step 2: Remove all preserved foliage, twigs, anything that is dry and could...

In the past few years we have been making changes towards sustainability in many ways. To contribute to reducing even more waste, we have been using as many recycled containers, charity shop finds and reloved vases as possible.
