At Estúdyo, we firmly believe that sustainability isn’t merely a buzzword; it’s a guiding principle that shapes our every action. In this blog post, I will explore three crucial aspects of our sustainable approach to crafting floral arrangements for your wedding.
1. Connecting with Local Flower Growers for the best in-season blooms
One of the cornerstones of Estúdyo’s commitment to sustainability is our close relationship with local flower growers. We prioritize in-season blooms for their freshness, beauty, and low environmental impact. By working hand in hand with local flower growers across Victoria, we ensure that our creations are in harmony with the seasons.
Our connection with these dedicated growers allows us to access the finest in-season flowers, which are nurtured with love and care. This supports local growers and reduces carbon emissions from distant flower imports, making us proud to create beautiful, eco-friendly arrangements.
2. Recycling Plastics
We’re dedicated to reducing our ecological footprint in every possible way. Recycling plastics is a critical part of our sustainability efforts. We understand the global plastic problem and its devastating effects on our planet. That’s why we take concrete steps to recycle plastics in our practice
As part of my dedication to transparency, I invite you to read this ABC article discussing the significance of plastic recycling. It features a brief impromptu interview with myself, showcasing our ongoing efforts in sustainability.
By actively participating in plastic recycling initiatives, we hope to contribute to a cleaner, greener future and set an example for the floral industry. Check in with your local council to see if they have a collection point.
3. No Floral Foam
What is Floral Foam?
Floral foam, commonly known as oasis foam, serves as a lightweight and water-absorbent material essential for securing flowers in floral arrangements. Despite its convenience,its non-biodegradable nature and the presence of harmful chemicals pose significant environmental risks. With substances like phenolic resins, formaldehyde, carbon black, and other detrimental compounds, floral foam raises serious concerns for the environment and ones health.
Transitioning away from non-biodegradable floral foam, we consciously opt for sustainability through the use of reusable containers and natural materials. This elevates our arrangements, infusing them with the wild beauty of flowers, creating unique, artistic pieces.
At Estúdyo, sustainability is our core value. From sourcing in-season blooms to recycling plastics and avoiding floral foam, we’re on a mission to create eco-conscious floral artistry that both makes a visual impact while respecting our planet.
