HOW BLOOMIN’ KIND New Liverpool-based floristry business Somerset Blooms was set up by Nathalie Somerset earlier this year, adopting environmentally friendly working practices. “I’m creative with how I run the company and always look for new ways to add to my eco promise. I source alternatives to polyribbon, wet foam and single-use plastics and use ribbon crafted from old plastic bottles, natural and earth-friendly agra wool and biodegradable plastics. I even grow some of the flowers myself,” she tells us. Nathalie’s most recent eco action is delivering flowers in her local area by bicyle. Bright pink with a basket on the front, its super-girly and a win win as she gets her daily dose of exercise while she works! Mainly though, it’s because no fuel is used in the process. Nathalie continues, “There’s so much more businesses can do to become more eco-conscious, they just need to be creative and think outside the box. My customers enjoy the luxury of my flowers alongside the feel-good factor knowing they don’t come at a price to the planet.” Somerset Blooms also undertakes bespoke design work for weddings so to find out more head over to https://somersetblooms.co.uk Nearlywed NEWS Catch up on the latest from around the region FASHION FORWARD Bellissima Brides in Brimstage, Wirral, is excited to launch Blanche Bridal in the UK and is proud to be the designer’s first and only stockist outside of the U.S and Australia.
