FAXON GREEN
ECO-ELEGANT FLORAL DESIGN STUDIO
"Green-Friendly" Floral Arrangements
Faxon Green's floral design studio is "eco-friendly". She works exclusively with living material
-no plastic, no floral foam. Vases are re-cycled. The compost pile "grows" behind the studio.
Faxon's "green-friendly" floral design studio is a potpourri of plants, living material from the seashore and woodlands. Large shards of Mexican clay pots, pieces of granite, and hollowed out birch bark fill the studio. Plants from which she cuts the freshest stems of the delicate hydrangea, buckets of extra long bear grass, and large leaf foliage for creating infrastructures in vases, "sit" in their assigned places.
When clients choose not to keep their flower arrangements, studio staff collect them with the vases, wrap the still-fresh flowers and deliver them to local shelters and hospitals.
Faxon's floral arrangements are sculpted; following the natural lines of flowers and foliage.
A floral bouquet is created from the organic nature of these living materials rather than being imposed from a planned design.
While the chosen flowers and palette, style and spirit of a wedding or event are clear in her mind, when it comes to creating the bouquets, rarely are there more than four or five of a similar design.
Faxon encourages the use of native flowers from local growers. She takes her clients to the Boston Flower Market and local gardens to see the many different flowers available. Close attention is given to the line, color, texture and fragrance of each flower arrangement .
Faxon's is a floral design studio of the imagination. She creates delight and surprise with her elegant floral bouquets.
