Birde Floral Design’s Top Tips for being a sustainable florist

Buy local and reduce ‘flower miles’.

Embrace the seasonality- When a flower is in season, it is at its most beautiful, you can be assured of supply and the price will be right.

Use sustainable floristry techniques – say NO to floral foam.

Re-use, recycle and minimise waste that goes to landfill.

Talk to the customers to assist and choose the best option for the tone and style of their event.

Quintessentially Melbourne tip – Don’t just think table centrepiece for floral arrangements. Consider a flower photo wall at the entrance that provides the WOW factor – a great first impression for your event!
