Afterglow Floral

About Afterglow Floral

A full-service floral design company for weddings, events, and select seasonal clients, Afterglow is deeply inspired by and reverent toward the natural world and the flowers we work with. Our designs celebrate the shapes, textures, movement, and colors of each season’s best blooms—and the unique vibe of each celebration and client. Working with flowers is our creative practice, and a skill we’ve honed over years. Each client brings the possibility of a new creative challenge and we love bringing to life to your ideas, big and small. We’re inspired by the world around us—architecture, fashion, color, history, graphic design, and more—and love to translate what we see and hear into flowers. Bring us an idea or even a partially conceived vibe, and we’ll surprise you with flower magic. One of Afterglow’s guiding lights is celebrating the work of Maine’s incredible flower farming community. We are grateful to live in an area with access to local flowers—thanks to organizations like the Maine Flower Collective—and use them predominantly in our work. Buying from local flower farms allow us to be less dependent on industrial floral suppliers, whose working conditions and pesticide use are less regulated—not to mention the savings on emissions when flowers are delivered within a few hours’ travel, not by air. It’s better for us, better for the planet, and better for keeping our delicate coastal ecosystem thriving. We use reusable, non-toxic mechanics for all of our designs. Our natural waterways are vital to our community, and so we choose to not use floral foam, which releases microplastics into our soil and ground water. Aside from tape, we take care to eliminate single-use plastic in our studio, The event industry can be extremely wasteful and while our systems aren’t perfect, we are conscious of our impact in all facets of our work.
