Embrace Forever Flowers

Join Us in Creating Beauty, Supporting Our Planet and Mental Health Community

At Embrace Forever Flowers, our mission intertwines environmental sustainability with Mental Health advocacy, reflecting our deep-seated commitment to both the planet and our community.​ With over 25 years of experience, our passion lies in creating luxury faux floral displays that offer longevity and elegance. We believe that sustainability and compassion go hand in hand. Our products are crafted to reflect this philosophy, offering you the opportunity to make choices that are both beautiful and meaningful.​

Environmental Sustainability Initiatives

Preloved Vessels: At EMBRACE Forever Flowers we breathe new life into preloved vessels and your own cherished heirlooms, pairing them with our faux floral arrangements, transforming forgotten or neglected items into timeless displays. This practice not only honours personal memories but also promotes sustainability by reducing the demand for new materials.

​However, our Affirmation Jugs are the one exception—these are the only new vessels we offer. We carefully selected them because they serve a deeper purpose beyond decoration. Each jug carries a meaningful message, designed to be a forever reminder of love, encouragement, or support for the recipient. While using a new vessel may seem less sustainable, we believe that its timeless nature aligns with our ethos of creating lasting, cherished pieces. Unlike fresh flowers that wither or are disposable gifts, our Affirmation Jugs are designed to be kept forever, offering continuous comfort and inspiration.

Biodegradable and Reusable Packaging: While specific details about our packaging materials are not provided on our website, we emphasize eco-friendly practices, suggesting a dedication to using biodegradable and recyclable options where possible.

Biodegradable Ribbons and Compostable Wrapping: Our commitment to sustainability extends to the finer details. We aim to use biodegradable ribbons and compostable wrapping materials wherever possible, ensuring that every aspect of our product is environmentally considerate.​

Carbon Footprint: Faux Flowers vs Fresh Flowers

Choosing faux flowers over fresh blooms is a sustainable decision that significantly reduces environmental impact. The global fresh flower industry produces over 360,000 metric tons of carbon emissions annually, largely due to refrigeration, transportation, and waste. Fresh flowers require up to 12 liters of water per stem to grow and often involve pesticide use, contributing to soil degradation. In contrast, high-quality faux flowers are a one-time investment that can last for years, reducing landfill waste and eliminating the need for continuous harvesting. By opting for forever flowers, you’re not only enjoying long-lasting beauty but also making an eco-friendly choice that helps preserve our planet. 

Supporting Mental Health

Beyond our environmental efforts, we are deeply committed to Mental Health advocacy. With every purchase, we contribute to Suffolk Mind, raising awareness and supporting Mental Health initiatives within our community. This partnership ensures that your choice not only brings beauty into your life but supports others.

Gem Assist

After years of working across a wide variety of industries—including construction, accounts, sales and marketing, events and hospitality, and even antenatal and postnatal support—alongside community-focused roles in the local library, PTA, and as a school governor, I’ve seen first-hand the impact that efficient, behind-the-scenes support can have on businesses and individuals.

Gem Assist is a virtual assistant and business support service designed to help busy entrepreneurs reclaim their time and focus on growing their business.

I specialise in supporting sole traders and small businesses, particularly those in the antenatal, postnatal, and early years sectors, as well as neurodivergent business owners and professionals in hospitality and events. With experience in CRM systems, databases, spreadsheets, AI tools, Canva, Squarespace, WhatsApp, and email management, I help streamline operations, improve efficiency, and keep businesses running smoothly.

As a busy parent, I also understand how challenging it can be to achieve a healthy work-life balance. For many small business owners, outsourcing is the key to freedom—allowing them to focus on their passion while knowing the admin is in safe hands.

While my business is set up to work with clients virtually across the globe, my local knowledge, connections, and understanding make me especially passionate about supporting businesses in my own community. Being able to workshop plans and review progress in face-to-face meetings is a highlight of my month.

I take a relationship-driven approach, getting to know my clients and their customers to understand and enhance their business. Whether you need ongoing administrative support, help tackling a backlog, or assistance with a one-off project, I’ll work with you to find the right solution.
