The fairest flowers of them all

Bella and Fifi are Bristol-based florists creating bouquets using local, organic and ethically grown flowers - and their arrangements are gorgeous. Flowers are sourced from green-fingered friends and Bristol allotments, creating an earth-to-vase pesticide-free supply chain. There is something so lovely about this idea, especially for celebrating a wedding or christening event.

Exotic, air-freighted flowers from foreign climes are so readily available these days that there is something undeniable lovely about recieving a hand-picked, locally grown bouquet of peonies, sweet-peas and roses. That's to say nothing of the eco-benefits of buying local and avoiding dipping your toe into the less than rosy issues surrounding the foreign flower trade.
