Gemma went for a medium, slightly cascading bouquet and requested Sunflowers and an autumnal colour palette.

It was a joy to do their wedding flowers.

Wishing one of W&R's loyal customers a Happy Birthday last week with this beauty. 💜🌿🎈

Here's a reminder to enjoy the flowers now that the summer sun is shining in all its glory. 💐

As I've got your attention, I'll go ahead and introduce myself and tell you more about how it all works at W&R...

I'm Leah the founder and owner of W&R, a small independent Floral business based in Colchester.

W&R operates as a side buisness which means I currently take on a small number of weddings a year - I also have bouquets and wreaths available mainly during national festivities and celebrations, although I do take the occasional wreath or gift bouquet order upon request too.

We already have two weddings booked for 2023! So don't forget if you or you know anyone getting married this year, please send them my way xx

As a new and independent Florist, eager to work with my local community and support my local regiment, I am excited to be added as one of the florists for Colchester Garrison Church.

I believe flowers in Church should serve as a reminder of the beauty of creation and contribute to the atmosphere of worship.

In response, my arrangements will combine seasonal, local grown, foraged blooms and be arranged using natural and sustainable methods. I hope to also select flowers according to their symbolic meaning and in corrospodance with the church and military calendars.

I look forward to creating my first altar arrangements in due course.

Leah

A lovely client is coming tomorrow to pick up her £30 white and green gift bouquet.

If you'd like one for yourself I have just one available with slightly more foliage, including blossom, nandina, daffodils and honeysuckle. It's the slightly wilder sister of this one in the photo below. ✨ See my previous post for a close up on the available bouquet.

£30 also comes aqua packed and gift wrapped in a box. DM me or comment below to order.

My lovely client Nails by Harley Louise sent me an April update of her Christmas wreath. It's dried a rusty dolden colour and looks fabulously autumnal. 🧡🦚

🌿💛🐇 Our wreaths are 100% natural 🐇💛🌿

W&R has a no preservatives policy and we are committed to supporting the sustainability and seasonality movement.

I understand the impact the floral industry has on the environment and it is my aim to be as eco friendly as possible. In practice this means I am conscious about sourcing locally grown flowers, composting waste materials or reusing short/ broken stems and finding natural preservation alternatives.

Our seasonal wreaths are available all year round. Fresh foliage and flowers are bound onto a staw and moss base using natural gardening twine. Even our ribbons and accessories are all natural and compostable.

W&R are proud supporers of local flower farmers and gardeners.
