Discover our seasonal, locally-grown, natural flowers

Seasonal flowers and foliages for one-of-a-kind, uniquely designed, garden-inspired floral decor for eco-conscious weddings and events from British and local flower growers.

We use what is best on offer in each season from local flower growers. Our selection, processes and designs reflect sustainability from choosing our suppliers, designing the florals to recycling at the end of each event.

SEASONALITY

Flowers grown on your doorstep will be picked when they are at their very best, just a few days before your event. Hence their longevity and freshness is far superior compared with imported flowers. Each season offers a very different selection of flowers and foliage. As there is none or very little packaging and transport involved, this ensures absolute freshness and minimum carbon footprint. Let’s not forget the choice of many unusual and heirloom varieties of flowers available from British growers, many of which have beautiful scent. The main British flower season runs throughout the year with the deepest winter months having a smaller choice naturally. In winter we will supplement our designs with living plants, flowering bulbs, dried flowers and foliages and carefully sourced ingredients from other non-British fairtrade growers.

KEEPING IT NATURAL

Because we like our designs to evolve with the seasons, we often incorporate wild ingredients such as scented blossoms, herbs, wild fruits and berries, twigs and vines into our arrangements. Add to this, arching branches of autumn leaves, flowing grasses and interesting seedpods you get an idea of the distinctive, natural style that defines Botanika. The forever changing seasons provide a wonderful variety of designs, resulting in every event having a special seasonal touch and completely unique feel.

HOME GROWN SCENTED FLORALS

Besides buying from local flower growers, I also grow a selection of plants in my garden with interesting foliage, texture or trailing habit to add interest to our arrangements. They are perfect for creating that natural, flowing, just picked look. Choosing unique and unusual varieties to trial and grow, we can keep track of the ever changing trends and add interesting elements to any colour palette throughout the year or even plan ahead for any particular colour scheme.

REDUCING OUR IMPACT

We design our flowers with sustainability in mind. We reduce the environmental cost of transport by using local growers where possible, growing some of our own flowers and foraging responsibly. All our flowers and foliage are grown naturally, without the use of chemicals and we recycle all green waste created in the design process. We are keen on using florist materials from sustainable sources and our aim is to eliminate single use plastics such as floral foam from our designs. We also encourage clients to reuse and recycle their wedding flowers by suggesting designs that are easily transferable between venues and to gift their flowers to friends and family afterwards.
