Creating a 100% Compostable Centrepiece from Bamboo.

Getting creative in the studio - 100% compostable centrepiece.

I’ve been playing in the studio over the quiet season and wanted to share with you one of the designs that came out of it. 

You may have already seen it on the Front Cover of the latest issue of Flowers Magazine (so exciting). Inspired by one of my first podcast episodes on Foam Free floristry and in an effort to create something new and exciting that is more environmentally friendly. 

Made also to highlight the beauty, elegance and versatility of Bamboo, essentially a pest plant here on my property, I wanted to show how this underutilised material could be used to reimagine the traditional centrepiece.   

The “vessel” has been created using a series of Bamboo tubes, that have been waxed to make waterproof, and held together by a little picket fence of smaller bamboo pieces. All flowers are sourced from my garden and the design is 100% compostable, no glue, no wire or no foam.  

I think it worked out really well. I am working on a few different centrepiece ideas for my clients over the coming Wedding Season, so keep an eye out on Instagram for some different designs.
