Flowers made of paper and makeup made from plants.
Dear Reader,
If I were a wealthy Dot, I would have magnificent bouquets of flowers delivered daily to my home. Or would I? Flowers, though lovely, can wield an outsized impact on everything from the growers to the pickers. (A rose, by any other name, sometimes smells like carbon emissions, or so Dear Dot has mused.)
Unwilted Flowers dispenses with the bulk of such concerns, instead delivering simply beauty … and, importantly, longevity. Founded by a Michigan florist who grew increasingly worried about the hefty environmental costs of her industry, Unwilted offers flowers that have no drop-dead date.
Each petal, each leaf is hand-cut from Italian crepe paper, then painted (some of them), shaped, and arranged to give the illusion of a real flower, no two quite alike, just as Mother Nature intended.
There’s no need to wait til Valentine’s Day to gift your beloved a bouquet of Unwilted Flowers. But with so many gorgeous choices, there’s no reason not to do it again.
Bloomingly,
Dot
