A conscious decision

Our floral designs capture nature's organic beauty, but not at the earth's expense. We aim to tread as lightly as possible, leaving the smallest carbon footprint that we can - here are some of the steps we have already taken...

LOCAL & SEASONAL

We source our flowers as locally as possible and we work with seasonal flowers, so you'll never find peonies in our Christmas arrangements or tropical flowers in a summer bouquet. If we can get British flowers we will always choose them first and we're fully behind the Back British Farming campaign; and when we can't get British roses, we use ethically-grown Fair Trade roses from Kenya. Why? Because this way you get the freshest, strongest flowers that have real variety, scent and will last. It also means fewer carbon miles, and supporting local growers, farmers and of course, bees!

WAR ON WASTE

Bloomologie buys flowers bespoke to order so we minimise wastage – and we compost all of our floral waste so that we nourish the earth. When we get flowers back from an event that can be re-used, we donate to local charities, schools and care homes, where they can be enjoyed to their full potential - often to be re-used as flower-arranging workshops for residents in care homes.
Plants that can be re-used are donated to local primary schools in Lewisham and Greenwich boroughs, where there are not the resources to fill flower beds otherwise.
As for packaging coming into our business, we recycle all of it.
Our own floral wrapping (that flowers are sent out in) is all recyclable and/or compostable – we went to great lengths to find truly compostable cellophane. 
Lastly, we avoid the use of unsustainable floral foam wherever possible and use biodegradable alternatives instead.

A LIVING WAGE EMPLOYER

We are ethical employers - all our staff are trained "the Bloomologie way" and are paid above the London Living Wage – because we believe in investing in people and nurturing a valued team to get you the best results for your event. 
We adhere to the latest Health and Safety Employment regulations and legislation and ensure all of our employees and contractors are up to date with any relevant training, and briefed on any specific health and safety requirements for individual events or venues.

A BREATH OF FRESH AIR 

Our delivery vehicles are either electric or hybrid. When we need larger vans for big installations, we use ULEZ compliant vehicles that have lower emissions.
Our studio uses a renewable electricity provider, and we are conscious not to waste energy.
