Your Devon and Cornwall Wedding - September/October 2024 (Issue 51)

Wow guests with these stunning, sustainable ideas Fabulously floral BOUQUETS & BLOOMS Victoria Staple is the owner of Bouquets & Blooms Flower Preservation, a local business based on the Cornwall and Devon border creating sustainable, framed arrangements avoiding the need to use resin. She says, “Although the business started with resin preservation, it moved away from this process to become more sustainable and environmentally friendly.” She adds, “All frames are made from sustainable wood mouldings or sustainable real oak and a large selection of the shadow box display frames used to showcase the flowers are handmade in the UK by a quality picture framer. I work with local florists and growers and support the ‘grown not flown’ ethos where I can and seasonal, British blooms are a particular love of mine to work with. My top tip for brides? Keep your bouquet, don’t throw it away.” https://bouquetsnblooms.com www.instagram.com/bouquets_and_blooms www.facebook.com/bouquetsnblooms www.unsplash.com FLOWERS 47
