Eco conscious sustainability focus in everything we do, every day…
We are passionate about our beautiful natural industry. Trust us, we don’t do it for the pay check. While it’s a lot of hard work, we wouldn’t choose another job in the world. But our industry creates so much waste through the supply chain. We do everything in our power to remain sustainable. Here’s a few of our initiatives, and we’re always looking for more suggestions:
Our designs feature an abundance of Australian native flora, locally grown blooms, and multiple feature foliages carefully wrapped in recycled wet packs and 100% post consumer recycled card paper.
We have been proudly oasis green flower foam free since 2019. This foam is not biodegradable and is carcenogenic.
All offcuts are kept in our “wishes box” and shorties vases to be onsold or gifted.
At market and at farms, we request no plastic wrap on our blooms. When inevitable, we have seperate bins for plastic wrap which are taken to red-cycle.
All our wedding bouquets are delivered in recycled boxes with recycled packaging.
Left over wedding blooms are donated to local nursing homes and daycares, neighbours of the studio, and hung out to dry to be reused in our everlasting arrangements.
We avoid noxious weeds, using faux and preserved options when required.
We avoid order gatherers, always sending our orders directly to florists in other areas. This guarantees you get the most blooms for your bucks.
We will always choose locally grown over imported. Not only to reduce our carbon footprint associated with flying flowers in from all over the world, but also due to the unregulated chemicals and labour conditions involved in farming overseas.
Sometimes we are limited in what we can achieve. Clients often need imported blooms with a longer shelf life, or that exact rose to match their colour palette. When this happens, we propose sustainable alternatives, and if not possible, we up the ante in our other sustainable initiatives even more.
Our gift range are mostly made by local women led small businesses.
Our Natural Design Ethos…
All our creations intentionally reflect mother nature’s colours, flow and movement. We believe that our natural artistic medium does 80% of the work, we just help it along ensure longevity for our clients to enjoy. We are the gardeners of the cut flower world.
With this in mind, we use only the best seasonal blooms, with help from our local Dural growers to import when necessary to ensure we master weddings and events and deliver the most breathtaking designs possible all year round.
It all started when…
Bohemian Buds was established in 2015 when head designer Jessica Legey realised her whimsical, bohemian and foliage heavy designs needed their own place in the industry to cater to like-minded contemporaries after something a little different.
After almost a decade of learning the ropes and struggling to constrain an abundant creative flow into classic designs, Jessica decided to branch out, so to speak, and never look back.
After moving from Glebe to Kenthurst for love, Jess found herself sandwiched between flower farms growing everything from Dahlias, roses and poppies to every kind of foliage you can think of. Now with her mini apprentice 3 year old Ruby, running under feet and featuring in instagram stories, Jess and the team continue to whip up wedding designs of your bohemian dreams, romantic bouquets and magical installations unique to every client.
