Sustainability in Wedding Floristry: Global Trends and Our Commitment

Sustainability is no longer just a buzzword, it’s a global movement reshaping industries worldwide. In the world of luxury wedding floristry, eco-friendly practices are becoming the new standard. At Kris McKee Floral Design, we’re proud to lead the charge toward a greener, more sustainable future for weddings.

Global Industry Changes in Sustainability

Worldwide, consumers and businesses alike are beginning to better embrace sustainability. From eco-friendly packaging to ethical sourcing and reducing waste, industries are finally rethinking traditional methods.

In the floral industry, innovations such as foam-free and plastic-free alternatives, moving back to older methods, and locally sourced blooms are gaining traction. These changes not only reduce environmental impact but also bring unique, natural beauty to every wedding. 

Sustainable Wedding Floristry Today

We are finding couples today are seeking more than just floral beauty, they want meaningful choices that reflect their values. Sustainable wedding floristry combines luxury with responsibility. It requires a mindset shift, from viewing your wedding as just one day to embracing the enduring impact that extends well beyond the celebration.

Our approach includes:

  • Ethical Sourcing: Buying blooms from local farms to ensure freshness and reduce carbon footprint.
  • Eco-Friendly Techniques: Implementing foam-free arrangements, reducing plastic, and sustainable packaging.
  • Innovative Design: Creating stunning floral displays that are as kind to the environment as they are beautiful. 

 

We know that nobody’s perfect, and we would never suggest that we are either, and that’s okay. We get that true change doesn’t happen overnight. Instead of chasing an elusive ideal, we believe in taking small, meaningful steps toward a sustainable future.

It’s also important to understand that not every new product is a miracle cure; sometimes, they don’t offer much improvement over what we’ve always done. It really takes skill and commitment to sift through the noise and make choices that truly matter. Even if our progress is gradual, every little effort adds up to a big difference over time.

As the world embraces sustainability, the wedding industry is following suit. By choosing a sustainable florist, you’re not only elevating your celebration but also contributing to a healthier planet.

“Kris was recommended to me by a close friend for wedding flowers and she did not disappoint. The wedding process was a bit daunting for me and Kris took the time to have a chat about styles, flower sustainability and budget. Kris was amazing to deal with throughout the whole engagement, is sustainable and super understanding and smiley to boot. Love what Kris did for us on the day and would recommend Kris to anyone looking for wedding flowers.”
