THE WORLD Make your wedding – and world – a better place by thinking about your carbon footprint when it comes to your day, as Felicity Wiggins from Amega Fleur Floral Design explains

hen you think of sustainability, decadence and luxury aren’t usually the first words that spring to mind. However, our shoot at North Essex venue, Houchins, proves that sustainability doesn’t have to mean scrimping on style. “As we become more aware of the actions we have on the environment, it makes sense that industries are starting to look at what they can do to minimise that impact. The wedding world is not known for being environmentally friendly, and floristry has come under fire for the pesticides used to preserve the cut flowers, not to mention the use of materials such as floral foam, which isn’t biodegradable and can release microplastics into the environment. With this in mind Houchins and myself have been looking at what we can do to help.”
