This week is British Flowers Week, and I thought it would be a great opportunity to talk about how choosing British-grown flowers can benefit your wedding.
British-grown flowers embrace the natural beauty of the changing seasons, creating arrangements full of character, charm, and individuality. But there are also some additional benefits you may not have considered.
🌼 The Cost 🌼
Using British-grown flowers can actually help reduce the cost of your wedding flowers, as florists are often able to buy the exact quantities they need directly from the grower. This helps to minimise over-ordering and reduces waste, meaning fewer beautiful blooms go unused and potentially lowering your overall costs.
🌼 The Miles 🌼
British flowers can often be sourced locally, significantly reducing the number of miles your flowers travel before becoming part of your special day. This helps to lower the environmental impact of your wedding flowers.
🌼 Supporting British Flower Farming 🌼
Flower farmers across the country work tirelessly in all weathers throughout the year to produce an incredible range of seasonal blooms. By choosing British-grown flowers, you’re supporting local businesses and helping to sustain the UK’s growing flower industry while adding a truly unique touch to your wedding day.
Using British flowers for your wedding isn’t always possible, depending on the season and the flowers you’d like. However, if you’re getting married between March and October, it’s definitely something worth considering
