When summer suddenly appears, I can hardly wait for my hydrangeas to bloom! I’m like a giddy child peeking outside every morning to see if they are ready to put in vases yet. There’s nothing that can match their unbelievable blue hue. They are to. die. for.
Nothing says “summer” or “love” like deliciously arranged flowers, and while planning one of the largest events in your life, you wouldn’t want anything less than delicious… right? Okay, and gorgeous. Whether you’re going green with local flowers from your garden, or ordering from your favorite shop, you can keep a few things in mind to stay eco-friendly right down to the bows used to tie together your bouquets.
– Choose flowers that can be replanted. Succulents are a major winner here. They can survive out of water for several days.
– Choose flowers that are in season, local, and don’t have a large footprint.
– Talk to your florist about eco-friendly & fair trade flower options as well as burlap or eco-friendly twine/ribbon.
I hope the selection here brings inspiration to your planning today! I’m personally feeling very inspired by the new, bold colors that brides are choosing. A bright color can make your white dress all the more amazing by creating a contrast! I’m also a hopeless traditional wedding gal, though, and you can never underestimate the power of white on white! Enjoy your Tuesday. xx
