Some Wednesday Wedmin inspiration.
Colour palette is one of my favourite parts of planning wedding florals . From simple colour combinations to an array of different colours bringing together the right tones is essential In creating interesting floral designs.
When choosing palette of colours to work with for floral design the palette must enable body and movement within the designs. This sets the stage for the shape and texture of the arrangements.

Happy Monday . A busy week at Dot and the Dandelion first wedding of year back at
Really looking forward to being back with the flowers .
When designing your wedding flowers I create a bespoke quote and an aspect that’s really important for me is creating harmonious designs with the space . I encourage couples when thinking about their wedding florals to avoid just picking a design and flower because they like but to consider their wedding environment and what’s designs would work well in the space . This allows for complimentary florals and for your wedding to have aesthetic rhythm through out .

Happy Friday . Hope everyone has had a good week. I have had a very January fuelled week tax return and admin. I have FINALLY got round to doing my new price list for 2025 - 2026 . So if you have been waiting on that it should have been send to you via ‘Smash’.
Whist writing my price list i got to focus on what I think Dot and the Dandelions unique qualities are and one of these focal’s is seasonal designs .
It’s important to celebrate every season and to appreciate every narrative each month brings. I love to create wedding designs that reflect the time of year and bring the outdoors in !
We have a January offering for couples getting married this year . £300 off their wedding flowers if they enquire and book by the end of Jan so not long to go ! Drop me an email or head to Dot and the Dandelion’s website to get sorted .

Candles . I spend an abnormal time talking about candles and having just done some big candle ordering I thought I might chat about them a bit more !
Candles really bring a table scape together they are the extra tone and texture that allow variety to the table the light they give off brings so much romance .
White is a popular colour for candles with every flower palette and is a classic but I love it when a couple opt with a colour for me it always looks so clean and chic on the table and brings harmony to the space .
With all bespoke wedding quotes candles are an option at Dot and the Dandelion with a variety of glass , brass , cylinders or tea lights they are the perfect addition to your wedding flowers !

2024 it’s been a goody ! Definitely one of the more celebratory and adventurous ones for me . The flowers have been magic thank you to all my lovely couples who trusted me with their flowers and all those 🧚‍♀️ who helped me create the designs in particular , .flowerpuff.girls , and - the ribbons were real.
A lot of my favourite people in the world got married this year and it was beyond special to make all their flowers (advice to any doing friends flowers and attending wedding - book a hair dresser appointment day of wedding and remember there are 24 hours in a day if you should need them )
I’m excited about all my lovely 2025 couples so far can’t wait to start work on all the flowers .
I am take stock and manifesting ideas this winter ❄️ hopefully leading to exciting new journeys in 2025.
I am quite witchy around New Year’s resolutions but there are some less serious but still important ins and outs. What are yours ? #2025

Happy Winter ❄️ Solstice a time in the year when the wheel takes pause before the new sun cycle begins . Solstice marks the longest night in the year , afterwards the sun slowly returns to us.
Dressing our homes with evergreens is a Celtic tradition. Each foliage represents different aspects of the life cycle . This is also why we make wreaths . The wreath represents the wheel turning towards the sun 🌞.

Winter weddings are some of my favourite to design. They are quieter creations and often involve thinking outside the box .
Couples often think due to the time of year that the flower selection will be limited for their winter wedding but it’s not true ! There are so many directions your wedding flowers can explore : winter whites , playing with all the pines and evergreen , using early spring bulbs and moss . There are so many options but I also love creating classic Christmas flowers such as Harriet and George’s Christmas wedding at North Cadbury Court . We really leaned into the festive season with red , whites and greens , with a hint of a festive pink because I love a festive pink 🎄

This year Dot and the Dandelions Christmas wreaths are based on ‘Edward Scissorhands’ . There are four to choose from (in photographic order ) ‘Topiary Garden’, ‘Ice Dance’ , ‘Ballet de Suburbia’ and ‘Castle on the Hill’ .

I say this every year but I am going to try and keep wreaths simple this year and not go mad on orders so if you would like one please pre order. I am hoping the wreaths will be on my website by the weekend but if you would like to order one on here dm me .

Peg from the film is one of my favourite characters ever she is so positive and accepts Edward exactly as he is from the moment she meets him even though he is a little different . Peg energy is the energy we should all aspire to particularly as we enter the festive period 💛

Happy Samhain ! The end of the Celtic year , a time to go rest and regeneration before the return of the Sun at Solstice . Winter can feel so long and dark in UK but it’s actually only a very small period of time (now till the 21st December ) that it’s still getting darker . From then on the Sun kings returns and we have to slowly build and unfurl till the height of energy in the summer solstice. So enjoy this short time of being going inwards we need it just like the seeds and the bulbs so we can pop up come spring 🎃plus it’s good time to see ghosts !
