Love More, Waste Less.

Sustainability
WE FOCUS ON MAKING AN ENVIRONMENTAL & COMMUNITY IMPACT THROUGH FLORAL & PLANT DESIGN.
We specialize in experiences that emphasize community collaboration and cooperation. Whether we're working with couples, families, businesses, or industry vendors, we prioritize the connections that are made throughout the design process and work as a team to make our clients’ dreams a reality.
What Sets Us Apart
OUR SIGNATURE FULL-CIRCLE FLORAL PROCESS ENSURES THAT EVENTS LEAVE AS LITTLE BEHIND AS POSSIBLE
In choosing how to stock our tool shelves, we opt for toxin free, reusable tools. We source products made from recycled & compostable goods, and minimize the use of plastics. We use a fuel efficient vehicle for transportation, and buy flowers from local growers during the Mid-West growing season. At the end of events, we minimize waste by donating, composting, and reusing decor.
Our Planet + Our People
IN ADDITION TO ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY, WE ALSO INVEST IN SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY.
Living wages, a healthy and safe work environment, and human-centered production are cornerstones of our business model and set us apart as a hub for creativity, connection, and social good.
Why does eco-friendly floral matter?
Sadly, the floral industry does not have its roots in sustainability. Chemical fertilizers and preservatives, international transport, and toxic production tools create a harmful environment for the plants, animals, and people who call our planet home.
The heart of EcoWilde’s mission is a commitment to making exquisite floral designs using sustainable practices and products.
