Working with Sylvia was like planning with my best friend - she made the process fun, stress-free, and unforgettable!

As wedding professionals we can tell you all about the amazing things we can create & provide for your beautiful wedding. But I think it’s also reassuring for you to hear those very same things from couples who have been in your shoes, planning a wedding & choosing vendors. We choose our couples as much as they choose us ❤️

“Sylvia and her team are an absolute powerhouse of creativity! Bella Botanica are not just talented florists, they are creative designers, visionaries, and leaders in their field although they’re too modest to say so! Flowers are truly their passion, they listen to your needs and wants and make them a reality.

We were delighted to hear Sylvia was available to do our wedding florals, she was professional, calm, funny and an absolute pleasure to be around. She nailed the brief and exceeded all of our expectations - our friends are still talking about the Ceremony Florals! I couldn’t recommend Sylvia and the Bella Botanica team enough, there is no comparison!” Sarah & Jay

Foam in Wedding Flowers? In this day & age?

Alright, I’ll say it - I can’t believe floral foam is still a thing. No surprise there!

For anyone who doesn’t know, floral foam is that green blocky stuff used to hold floral arrangements together. It’s easy & convenient, sounds handy, right?

Except it’s a nightmare for the environment - non-biodegradable, it’s a microplastic that seeps into our waterways, causing harm to creatures and us.

And honestly, we can do better.

Here’s the thing: sustainability doesn’t mean sacrificing beauty or luxury - it pushes us to be more creative.

Going foam-free means….

🌿 More natural designs - Arrangements that flow organically, inspired by nature itself.

✨ Innovative techniques - Using reusable mechanics and sustainable structures creates something as beautiful as it is eco-friendly.

🌿Guilt-free beauty - You can enjoy your stunning florals knowing that what lies beneath is not contributing to the harm of our planet.

For me using sustainable mechanics isn’t a box to tick - it’s a commitment to honouring the natural world that inspires everything I do.

Foam-free isn’t just a choice, it should be the only choice. It’s the one thing as florists we can control no matter what the season.

If you want floral designs that are luxurious, modern, and kind to the planet..

DM me the word ‘green’ and let’s chat about your sustainable wedding in 2025.

Because, let’s face it, the future of floristry doesn’t include foam.

Not all flowers are created equal, here’s why choosing premium florals makes all the difference.”

When it comes to your wedding day, your flowers are not the place to cut corners. Trust me on this.
You want wedding flowers that hold their own, from morning till night. And let me tell you - quality matters.

I work with only the finest growers especially local growers when in season. These are my favourites ❤️

These are blooms with grown with love and it shows. They are vibrant, fresh, and downright flawless.

Why does it matter?

🌸 They last - You want your bouquet to look stunning in every photo, not droopy by dinner. Quality flowers have stamina, just like any good Irish celebration.

🌿 They shine - Rich colours, intoxicating scent, beautiful textures and that “wow” factor that’ll have your guests asking, “Where did they get these?”

✨ They hold their shape - No wilting halfway through. These quality florals stay picture-perfect, no matter how wild the party gets!

So, if you want flowers that are every bit as spectacular as the day itself, don’t settle for less. You deserve the best, nothing less will do.

DM me the word the ⭐️quality⭐️ if high-quality florals are important to you for your high-end wedding.

Candlelight is overrated! Well we don’t agree…

Sometimes we are asked to take the candles and candleholders off a proposal to bring the budget down but I think that’s a mistake..

Our florals and candlelight go perfectly together to create a welcoming experience for you and your guests.

Candlelight brings warmth, elegance and magic to a tablescape.

DM us wedding to chat about what you would love to have on your tables.

My wedding business is not for everyone because:

My dream couples see the beauty in nature and value sustainability and appreciate floral designs that are beautiful and have a reduced impact on our earth..

My dream couples love to head off on travel adventures and their Pinterest boards are inspired by the style and cultural experiences they’ve had.. They are open minded..

My dream couples love to have fun, dance, and they want their wedding to be a joyful celebration of love with their family and friends..

They trust their vendors with all the details to create the most magical experience for them, so it frees up time for them to enjoy the experience on the lead up to their wedding day.

If this is you DM Wedding Flowers to chat more..

Kindness is Key✨ We want to work with couples who treat their families and friends with kindness through their words and actions.

You might be wondering why..

This gives us a little peek into the future of how our working relationship is going to be.. We create our best work when working in an environment where we are trusted and treated kindly and respectfully.

Of course we ensure that we align with our couples’ budget and our minimum spend. But let me be clear a higher floral budget would not convince me to work with couples that treat people unkindly!

We want to have a genuine connection with our couples so that we can create the most authentic, beautiful designs to grace their wedding.

We value kindness, we are not a soulless floral design business. And we have been very blessed with the couples we have had the pleasure of working with over the years..

If you value kindness and want to have a beautiful, joyful wedding then DM me Wedding Florals to chat.

NO FLORAL FOAM: I’ve spoken many times over the years about how toxic floral foam is and the damage it does to the earth and us. This topic can sometimes get floral designers feeling defensive and this is not the purpose of this post.

It comes from a good place, I am passionate about nature, animals and creating beautiful wedding florals in the most sustainable way I can. It definitely takes more time & effort but it can be done.

There are certainly many things that need to change in our industry. Pesticides, social injustice, poor soil management practices, harmful chemical bleaches and dyes, and intensive greenhouse growing conditions are just some of the issues that require our attention. But eliminating the use of single-use plastics is perhaps the easiest and most meaningful change you can make. Thanks for this note

I sometimes get push back regarding sustainability and flown flowers but when our local flower growers season ends, we rely on flowers from abroad. What we do not need to rely on is floral foam and this is in our control.

🍃Floral foam is a single-use plastic. It starts out as plastic and ends up as microplastics.
🍃Floral foam leaches chemicals and plastics into the water which has an effect on organisms who ingest this. A study in 2019 in spoke extensively about this issue.

But we can take action:

🍃Wedding Planners: Ask floral designers to design without the use of floral foam

🍃Wedding Couples: ask for foam free floral designs from your floral designer.

🍃Florists: It may be convenient to use but the damage to the environment and person outweighs this.
Ask for help from others in the industry who can provide environmentally sound ideas to support your designs. Allow more time for designing mechanics that can be reused.

There is definitely positive change happening but we can do better.

Some couples who choose a castle as their wedding venue are led to believe that they must also choose a traditional, neutral colour palette.

🍃I don’t agree with this. In fact I think adding colour intentionally to a room through floral designs, can elevate the tablescape.

🍃If you have vibrant, colourful personalities, let me translate this into your floral designs, whilst being mindful of the tones and textures in the space.

Your wedding florals should bring you joy and feel like they belong to you. DM me the word ‘wedding’ to chat about what you would light you up..
