q&A: Why sustainable floral arrangements? What do you love about your chosen path? In general, you could build a business doing anything… why SlowCult?
Did you know that on average one US wedding creates 400lbs of waste and 62 tons of CO2 on average? And wedding flowers do play a significant role in those figures. I became a florist because I have always been artistic and wanted a career in which using my hands to create was at the core, but the other side of that is my love for nature.
The way I see it, finding more sustainable ways to create contemporary artful flowers is the least I can do since my medium literally grows out of the ground. It’s a symbiotic relationship.
One of the ways SlowCult cuts back on waste and emissions is through forming relationships with local growers in Oregon and Washington allowing me to get to know their growing processes, put money back into the local economy, support small and often female owned businesses, as well as get my floral clients the freshest best looking blooms for their wedding day. Some other examples are never using toxic flower foam, composting as much natural material as possible, and recycling and reusing whenever possible.
Q&A: What kinds of activities/classes do you offer to wedding parties outside of the wedding day?
While your wedding day will be one of the most memorable days of your life, it’s likely not the only one you want to commemorate with florals! We love welcoming bridal parties into our floral studio in Sellwood Portland for fun creative classes like flower crown creation, floral centerpiece design, and tablescape design, all perfect for the DIY bride and wedding party. We also love to follow up with our couples in all seasons of their life by offering seasonal holiday flowers as well as special custom designs for anniversaries and are happy to deliver around Portland, OR.
