Greener Weddings
For couples looking to reduce their wedding or commitment ceremony’s impact on the environment, Pollen offers floral designs created with sustainably grown flowers.
Our first choice for product (and the greenest option) is local, organically grown flowers. Of course, being in Chicago, locally grown flowers are only available for a part of the year. For the many months that the Midwest’s climate is not hospitable to flower growing, we offer Veriflora, Fair Trade, or Rainforest Alliance certified flowers. These third-party certifications assure that flower growers are working toward ecological sustainability and social responsibility.
In addition to thoughtfully sourcing our product, we operate the business in an eco-conscious manner. We shop for product and deliver your flowers in a shared vehicle. All marketing materials are produced with the environment in mind, from recycled paper business cards to green web hosting. And we reuse packaging materials as much as possible. When we take the boxes and bags used to safely deliver your event’s floral designs, we’ll be saving them to use for the next event!
