“Grace has the most amazing and unique vision when it comes to florals. That combined with her values for sustainability really just makes for the dream florist”
Seasonal and Sustainable Floral Design for Weddings, Events & Installations
Every floral design here is created with a thoughtful balance of artistry and responsibility. Using foam-free floristry mechanics, seasonal flowers and carefully considered sources sources, the designs and ingredients within each wedding, event or installation both honour and respect the beauty and fragility of our natural world.
The following sustainability principles guide the way every floral arrangement is thoughtfully crafted here at Made with Grace -
Foam-Free Arrangements
Every floral design is created entirely without floral foam - the dense green material traditionally used in arrangements that contains harmful chemicals and breaks down into microplastics.Instead, we use carefully considered reusable mechanics and techniques that allow support and hydration of each design.
Natural, Raw Ingredients
We believe nature’s beauty speaks for itself. You won’t find dyed, bleached, glittered or artificial stems within our designs, as these materials cannot be composted safely and contribute unnecessary waste. Every flower and foliage is used in its natural state, either fresh or responsibly dried, allowing the materials to return safely to the earth after your occasion.Seasonal Flowers
Seasonal flowers offer a delicateness, quality and grounding to the moment and reflecting the moment in time.Wherever possible, our arrangements celebrate flowers that are naturally in season, sourced through our network of specialist British and European flower farms.
Supporting Local, British-Grown Flowers
Whenever possible, we prioritise flowers grown by local British flower farmers. These stems are often more delicate, intriguing and freshly harvested than imported alternatives.Choosing locally grown flowers helps support local growers and communities, nurture biodiversity and contributes to the growing movement towards a more sustainable floral industry.
Artisan Vessels and Reusable Props
Sustainability extends beyond the flowers themselves. We hold a thoughtfully curated inventory of reusable, vintage or artisan commissioned props and vessels in which the flowers can be supported and waste minimised.
Celebrating Dried Flowers
Dried flowers often play a role within our designs, particularly outside of the British growing season. Using naturally dried flowers, never bleached, dyed or glittered, introduces texture and depth and are a sustainable alternative to artificial flowers.
