Another beautiful late Summers day, found us back at the Old Hall Ely, for the wedding of Jess and Liam.

A timeless palette of crisp whites and lush greens to complement this space.
Fragrant stocks, Hydrangea, Avalanche rose, Delphinium and wax flower.
Simple and understated.

Today was one of those perfect Old Hall days.
The weather was warm with a subtle breeze that found its was across the gardens and made the delphiniums look as though they were dancing.
The Swallows darted across the skies overhead and the Cathedral, keeping watch as always, across those endless Fens.
There is a magic about this place, something you can only experience by being there.
Perhaps its the history of such a place.
Maybe the magic is in the whispers of those that came before us, carried on the wind.
Or maybe the magic was in the way that Jess smiled as she made her way towards Liam in the sunken gardens.
Maybe it was in the way that Liam took her hand.
Maybe it was in the smiles of those that love them best, watching as they took vows to one another.
Whatever it was, it’s a magic that stays with you.
A magic that makes you think that just maybe, we really do have the best jobs in the world.

As the afternoon sun bathed the Church in the Suffolk countryside in a cascade of golden light, Katie walked down the aisle, her heart full with love and anticipation, towards her Jacob

The air was fragrant with the aroma of flowers, each bloom selected with care to tell the story of her and Jacob’s journey.
With Friends and family watching on as they said their vows, sharing joy and hope for the future.

As the ceremony began, the sunlight danced around the space, illuminating not just the flowers, but the deep, unwavering love they held for each other. Friends and family watched in awe, feeling the magic of the moment, as Katie and Jacob promised to love one another, always.

A Bridal bouquet in late Summer oranges, creams and cappuccino.
Wild and romantic in style, with movement as you move.

Such beautiful and interesting stems from
Those phlox were the crowning glory of this bouquet.

Married at one of the most stunning parish churches we have ever seen, G & J said their vows to each other, with love.
Starting their happily ever after.

As we stepped into the stunning surroundings of The Old Hall, we were greeted with a sign that read “Welcome to our beginning.”
The story of Celine and Reece is one where the chapters are many.
From childhood sweethearts to man and wife, theirs will be a story that spans a lifetime.
A timeless palette of green and white.
Elegant and understated.
When working with our couple, we knew we wanted to incorporate elements that enhanced the softness of the Old Hall, complimenting the surroundings.

A floral arch, adorned with terracotta urns and pots, to complement the many pots and urns of the Old Hall.
Silver birch and beech were used as these are found growing in the grounds.
Delphinium, ammi, Orlaya, Hydrangea and Rose were the flowers used throughout the design.

Today was filled with many moments.
It was here in the sunken garden that time stopped.
In this moment there was nothing but them.
Nothing but the way he looked at her as she walked towards him.
Nothing but her hand reaching for his.
Nothing but the hopes and dreams of two people, truly at the beginning of this next chapter.
And here we are, witnessing it all.
In these moments, we are the keepers of time.
And in a world that can often feel uncertain, we are reminded.
There is only Love.

Peaches, creams, lilacs, pinks and dusky blues. All the soft pastels for Rachel and Mark, who married at the Granary Estates in Wooditton, Suffolk.
Oxypetelum, delphinium, summer scabious, Sahara sensation spray roses, David Austen Juliets and Nigella for the bridal bouquet, with long flowing silk ribbons from the Botanical Dyer.
The aisle was dressed with meadow flowers, later repositioned to the wedding breakfast, where floral centrepieces adorned the tables.
It was a warm day in the Suffolk countryside for Mark and Rachel as they said their vows to one another, surrounded by those that love them best.
The soft sound of laughter and the flowers swaying in that Summer breeze.

Peaches and blues.
Delicate and understated.
Delphiniums, David Austen Juliet garden roses, Lovelace Ammi, Kahala roses and eucalyptus.

Under blue skies, on a warm Summers day in the Suffolk countryside, Josh and Reina said “I do”
With friends and family looking on, the couple said their vows in the gardens of the Bedford lodge with flowers of peaches and blue.

23/07/2024

Understated elegance.
This was the brief for Angelina when we first spoke.
The couple wanted a timeless look to their day and as always, whites, creams and greens was perfect to achieve this look.
Two soft grey urns on plinths sat at the top of the aisle where the couple would say their vows.
Filled with Hydrangea (an absolute favourite of the Brides) Avalanche roses, Bridal Flow spray roses, fragrant stocks and wax flower.
We lined the row of chairs at the start of the aisle with floor meadows of the same mix.
Designed to be the starting point for the eye to run down the aisle and up to the grand ceiling above.

Angelina and Aiden’s story started when they were young.
Childhood sweethearts who grew together as adults, married at The Granary Estates on a day filled with warmth and the bluest of skies.
Staying to reposition florals gives us small glimpses of the day.
For Angelina and Aiden, it was filled with the sounds of laughter and the clinking of champagne flutes.

The Maids in their Sage green dresses and posies of Hydrangea, looked beautiful. With the Gentleman of the Bridal party in black three piece suits and their buttonholes pinned on. All created a really cohesive look.
A beautiful day for a beautiful couple, so very much in love.

A beautifully warm Friday in late July at The Old Hall Ely, for the wedding of Amy and Matt.
A couple so clearly devoted to one another.
We first met Amy and Matt in a wonderful little coffee shop on a wintery day, and, over mugs of coffee chatted all things flowers.
The couple wanted a timeless, elegant look to their day, with flowers lining the aisle and delicate bud vases to dress the tables at the wedding breakfast.
Creamy Avalanche roses, beautifully fluffy hydrangeas with fragrant stocks, blousy delphiniums and delicate wax flower.
Floral Meadows to line the aisle, leading the eye to the couple saying “i do”

Staying to reposition the flowers meant we were able to watch the couple say their vows to each other.
Speaking to someone who knew the couple, we were told;

“She was always going to be his. From the first day he met Amy, Matty always said he was going to marry her.”

And under endless blue Fen skies, marry her he did. Surrounded by friends, family and so much love.
She was always going to be his and he was always going to be hers.
So begins the next chapter in their Love story.

For the beautiful Chelsea who married her darling Jake under the sunniest skies of the year.

Dusky pink roses with delphinium, scabious and cream Avalanche. A soft bouquet with gentle movement.

19/07/2024

It’s a three wedding kind of weekend.
The sun is shining and the flowers are blooming.

14/07/2024

A beautiful Saturday in July for the wonderful Lauren and Matt, who trusted us enough to just create what we wanted in the space.

Being able to spend our days with each other, laughing, creating with flowers under blue skies and birdsong.

10/07/2024

Studio day.
Today has been spent in the studio, conditioning a delivery whilst listening to Fleetwood Mac. A beautiful palette for this weekends wedding.
Praying for sunshine, what is going on with July?

From the moment we met Charlotte, her dream was to marry Rob in the gardens of Lanwades Hall, on a warm Summers day under an arch of Flowers.
A timeless palette of greens and whites. Avalanche rose, Delphinium, Gypsophila, sweet Summer Asters, stocks and wax flower filled the arch and the meadows that lined the back of the aisle.
The garden at Lanwades Hall, that is in full bloom, surrounded the couple as they said their vows to one another.
Amongst the palette of green an white, were small hidden “Memory Lane” yellow roses, to remember someone special who was no longer with the couple.

The Floor meadows were repositioned to sit in front of the top table for the wedding breakfast and the arch was moved to the terrace for the evening guests.
The day was warm and the scent of lavender carried on the breeze. The sky was an endless blue and the sounds of people laughing and champagne flutes clinking could be heard from the garden.
Charlotte and Rob were married, surrounded by light, under the gazes of those who love them most.
It was the most perfect Summer Day.

The journey that we take with our couples is special.
For Daisy and Richard we felt like we had really gotten to know a family, who welcomed us and allowed us to be a small part of this beautiful day.

We wanted the flowers to take the guests on a journey and tell a story from the moment they entered the granary barns.
Arriving to a welcome area filled with flowers and that beautiful floral scent, guest made their way down the glass walkway, champagne in hand, where the roses from the gardens looked as thought they were spilling into the venue.
Upon entering the ceremony space, guest traveled through one floral arch, leading them on to a second arch situated at the end of the aisle.
After the ceremony, as guest congratulated the happy couple in the gardens, the team at the granary transformed the room into the wedding breakfast, where tall floral centrepieces adorned the tables.
Elegant dinner candles in crisp white, paired with moss green napkins and stationary, with glassware reflecting the soft afternoon light that streamed through the windows.

In a timeless palette of green and white, with hydrangea, Avalanche roses, stock and zesty viburnum. We wanted to create a look that was elegant. We knew that the room had to carry that beautiful floral scent and this was achieved with the stocks.

Surrounded by friends and family, Daisy and Richard married on Friday at The Granary Estates, amerced in flowers and sunlight.

It was beautiful.

20/06/2024

Floral arch and meadow boxes.
A classic for a reason. So versatile and can be repositioned after your ceremony to really make the most of your flowers and your budget.
An arch is one of our favourite things to create, and next week we will be creating a few of them!
Being creative with flowers is wonderful and an arch is such a statement piece of floral design for your big day.

Cosmos are blooming in the cutting patch, ready for some of our Summer weddings.
Feels like the sunshine has taken so long to arrive.
The dahlias have been loving this rain, now for that heat to make them pop.

More than flowers.
Prepping for this weekends wedding has had us talking about the connection with our clients.
Wedding flowers are a very personal thing. They are a reflection of the couple, and often incorporate personal sentiment, like Orla’s first pointe shoes, saved for her wedding day.

Getting to work alongside our clients means that we build relationships, ones that last past the wedding itself.
Sometimes it’s being stopped on the street by a mother of the bride from years passed, to tell us how the couple is now. A text from a previous groom to tell us they are expecting their first baby. Messages from Grandmothers about the roses from the church flowers.

It reminds us that that human connection is what life is all about. It makes it so much more than flowers. We get to be a small part of the big stories. And because of that, there is so much joy in what we do.

Pretty Maids all in a row.

Lovely seeing that pop of Coral Charm peony in these dreamy bridesmaids bouquets.
Delivery day today so we get to spend it slowly, in the studio, most likely listening to an audiobook (or more likely, the rain)
Whilst we condition and plan for the weekend.
Slow studio days are my favourite days.

There may be many moments throughout our lifetime that seem small at first, but are often the very essence of what makes life fulfilling.
Yesterday was filled with these little moments.

Sunshine, flowers, handkerchiefs and ribbons. Happy tears, happy people, a church filled with so much warmth and so welcoming that we found ourselves such a part of the day, clapping and cheering as the couple said “i do”.

Charlotte and Joel married at the beautiful Salvation Army Church in Cambridge, surrounded by a grounded arc of florals, later repositioned to the wedding breakfast at Swynford Manor.
Westminster Abbey Roses, with pops of dusky pinks and cappuccino.
Delicate Astrantia, stocks and wax flower with a small element of dried detail.

Charlotte and Joel were surrounded yesterday by the people that know them best. It was a privilege to be able to hear the stories people were telling, the advice they had for a couple newly wed.
The sun shone, the skies were blue and the sound of champagne flutes clinking filled the air.
A staircase of florals and a Wedding breakfast with a mix of high and low arrangements.
We were such a small part of their big story, but yesterday was one we wont forget.

It’s so much more than flowers.

A head full of flowers.
This feels like an actual representation of how our brains are all the time.
A beautiful crown of flowers for this weeks Bride, modelled (rather reluctantly) by our beautiful Tina.

David Austen “Mill on the Floss” and delphinium grown by us with Daisy, spray rose and delicate buds.
Something different to carrying a bridal bouquet for the wonderful Jess who married her darling Jack at Willow Grange Farm on Saturday.

Driving to Lanwades hall, passing the verges of cow parsley gently swaying in that May breeze, for the wedding of Lauren and Jordan, i was reminded of those lazy early Summer days of childhood.
When the wind is warm against your skin and the sky is an endless blue.
Lanwades hall, was, as always, standing beautifully calm and proud in that Suffolk countryside, waiting to welcome the happy couple.
Delicate peaches and nudes with soft creams to dress this beautiful space.
An aisle of flowers with delicate bud vases running along the fireplace in the morning room.
Delphiniums, apricot stocks and various roses, including our beloved Sahara sensations.

10/05/2024

Slow Fridays.

We don’t see many of them so when we do they are to be enjoyed with book shops and coffee with friends.
Next week we find ourselves back at the beautiful for a lovely wedding.
But for today, we will be enjoying the sun.

23/04/2024

Beautiful dusky mauve with pops of blush for the darling Maddie, who married her Bill at Lanwades Hall on a Spring day in April.

14/04/2024

Where do I even start for two such darling boys.
We bonded over our love of books and flowers and every moment of the build up to this day has been a joy.
Watching two people plan their wedding is an intimate thing. The small details and personal touches that really made their day their own.
The Great Hall was filled with antique books from Edwin’s collection as the couple made their vows to each other surrounded by friends, family and the words of great writers.
“The poets were always correct” I say softly “You are half my soul”

13/04/2024

Under endless blue skies on a rustic farm in Cambridgeshire, the beautiful Paige said “I do” to her devoted Carl.
The brief was elegant English country garden florals with that pop of coral.
Secret garden roses, cappuccino and toffee interspersed with coral and a deep dusky pink.
Sitting against the backdrop of the warm wood of the Silo barn.
Blousy Icelandic poppies dancing in that April breeze, fragrant apricot stocks filling the marquee with their floral scent.
A truly beautiful day in April.

Today was one of those perfect Cambridge Spring mornings.
The air was warm and as we made our way along the river behind Kings college, we could see people out enjoying their Saturday. Bicycles riding along, with newspapers and bread laden baskets. Couples walking hand in hand as the cow parsley and blue bells start to show their faces after a long Winters sleep.
Cambridge will always have our hearts and this morning was just beautiful as we made our way to Queens and then Homerton college for the wedding of Caroline and Adam.
Blues and creams, Spring flowers and satin ribbon.
A perfect Cambridge morning.

Driving through the Norfolk countryside on a beautiful Spring day for the wedding of Caitlin and Jack.
The hedgerows were bursting with blossom, the sky was an endless blue with the odd pheasant making a mad dash across the road.
The journey to Pentney Abbey gave us chance to reflect on todays couple, how we first met and how wonderful it has been getting to know them as the planning for their day has unfolded over the last year.
We often say it’s so much more than flowers and we were reminded of this when delivering Caitlin’s Bridal bouquet.
The joy of seeing someone receive their flowers. The “oohhs” and “Aaaahs” and “oh look! its that flower i love”
Its personal. It’s a journey, a whole new chapter in the lives of others, and we get to be a part of it.

29/03/2024

For the beautiful Charli, who married her darling Rob surrounded by friends, family and the promise of Spring.

28/03/2024

Happiest of birthdays to my darling flower wife.
She doesn’t show her face often on these little squares but as it’s her birthday I felt she deserved her spot on the grid.
There is no one quite like this woman, her talents to create with flowers, her kindness towards others, her strength and perseverance. I learn something from her every day and I’m so grateful I get to call her my friend.
Thank you for the laughs and for making this journey with flowers everything it has been.
Happiest of birthdays my darling girl.

Hello Spring.
Feels like we have had one foot in and one foot out with flowers over the last few months. A couple of weddings and Mother’s Day. Taking it slow, spending more time doing admin tasks than having our hands on flowers. But as of next week it’s jumping in with both feet as our season really ramps up and it’s weddings most weeks until November.
The rest has been what we both needed, but with the arrival of Spring we find ourselves ready for the joy that working with florals brings.

One day In May. The original plan for this wedding was an outdoor ceremony in the sunken garden, unfortunately the weather had other plans and we had to move quick and go with our plan b. Living in a country where the weather can be rather unpredictable, we always have an idea of how we would style your day should plans have to change. This is something that we work out with our couples as part of our design process. Customer journeys are so important to us, in fact it’s what we based our business ethos on from day one. Including the couple in the design of their day is essential but equally important is taking away the stress when things don’t go quite to plan.

2021, Thank you to each and every one of you who has made this year such a special one!

Spending Saturday mornings with Stevie, showing how we arrange our Tulips in anticipation for Friday Flowers, which return on Friday 5th March. After our last theme of “dotty for tulips” based on my obsession for “that” Zara dress, the next Friday Flowers will be Raspberry Ripple, in anticipation that sunny days are coming our way! #clemmieandtwine #fridayflowers #raspberryripple #florist #floristofinstagram #tulips
