Wedding Trends for 2009-Organic and Socially Responsible

Interested in having an organic or socially responsible event? You're not alone. One of the trends we're seeing in every industry is the moving forward on the environmental and social fronts. In the floral design industry, this translates to using organic and socially responsible materials. There are more and better options for these materials that ever before as growers and manufacturers scramble to keep up with the new demand; flowers, containers; preservatives; ribbons; you name it. Have you heard the buzz about bamboo? Bamboo is a sustainable crop, easy and quick to grow-in fact, I've always thought of it as a weed. Well, I'm changing my mind (maybe it's a good weed). It seems like almost anything can be made from bamboo. You can have a beautiful event and keep your impact on the environment and people as minimal as possible. Check out our website for examples of organic and socially responsible materials. www.fantasiablooms.com
