🌿Eco-Friendly Wedding Flowers: Sustainable Choices for Your Big Day

Planning a green wedding? Beth’s Flowers shares eco-friendly wedding flower ideas, from seasonal blooms to reusable arrangements, for a sustainable celebration.

Love Your Partner, Love the Planet

Weddings are full of beauty and joy—but they can also create a lot of waste. The good news? Your flowers don’t have to be part of the problem. With smart, eco-friendly choices, you can have stunning wedding florals that reflect your love for each other and for the planet. At Beth’s Flowers, we’re passionate about helping couples design sustainable blooms without sacrificing style.

🌸 Choose Seasonal & Local Blooms

The most sustainable flowers are the ones grown nearby and in season. They require less transportation, energy, and resources to produce.

• Spring: Tulips, ranunculus, lilacs.

• Summer: Sunflowers, zinnias, hydrangeas.

• Fall: Dahlias, marigolds, chrysanthemums.

• Winter: Amaryllis, evergreens, hellebores.

✨ Bonus: Local flowers are often fresher and more fragrant.

🌿 Embrace Greenery & Foraged Elements

Incorporating greenery like eucalyptus, olive branches, or ferns can reduce the number of flowers needed while creating a lush, natural look. Foraged elements like branches, berries, or dried grasses add texture and sustainability.

🌺 Reuse & Repurpose Your Flowers

Double the impact of your blooms by reusing them throughout the day:

• Ceremony arrangements can move to the reception.

• Bridesmaids’ bouquets can become table centerpieces.

• Altar flowers can decorate the cake or sweetheart table.

✨ Tip: Plan ahead with your florist to design arrangements that are easy to transfer.

🌷 Consider Potted Plants or Living Florals

Instead of cut flowers, try potted orchids, succulents, or mini rose bushes. Guests can take them home to enjoy long after the wedding, making them both décor and favors.

❀ Say No to Floral Foam

Traditional floral foam is non-biodegradable and harmful to the environment. At Beth’s Flowers, we offer eco-friendly mechanics such as chicken wire, reusable vessels, and water-based techniques for sustainable designs.

💚 Donate or Compost After the Wedding

Don’t let your flowers go to waste. Options include:

• Donating arrangements to hospitals, nursing homes, or shelters.

• Composting blooms to return nutrients to the earth.

✨ This ensures your wedding flowers continue to spread joy even after the big day.
