Why I’m going foam-free

When it comes to planning your dream wedding, one of the most important decisions you'll make is choosing a florist. But did you know that in addition to finding the perfect flowers for your special day, there's another important consideration? You should choose a foam-free wedding florist who can create beautiful floral arrangements without using floral foam. Here's why!

It can be done.

Floral foam is a popular choice among many florists because it's easy to use and relatively inexpensive. The foam provides support for flower stems, allowing arrangements to stand in place without needing extra pins or wires. It’s also EASY. While foam-free methods can become natural it takes a lot of practice to create airy, garden-style arrangements without foam. It simply takes more skill to work without foam. Foam also helps keep flowers hydrated by providing a water source that can be absorbed directly into the stems, keeping them fresh (though not as much as fresh water). Notably, it’s also cheaper in the same way a single paper plate is a fraction of the cost of a real one, because it’s been designed to be thrown out to remain in a landfill for centuries to come. 

Do something different.

You’ve thought of every detail to make your Austin wedding unique, let’s work together to make something unique for your celebration.

As an Austin wedding florist, you have the power to make someone’s special day beautiful and memorable. But when it comes to selecting materials for your floral arrangements, it's important to consider their environmental impact. When a florist uses floral foam, the product is not biodegradable. This means that once it has been used and discarded, it can take up to 500 years for the material to decompose! Additionally, floral foam contains some harsh chemicals which can be harmful to both wildlife and people if exposed to them. When creating a wedding arrangement, you want to make sure that your materials are not only beautiful and aesthetically pleasing, but also safe for the environment.

All the fun, none of the foam.
