🌟 Celebrating 10 Years of Paper & Petals! 🌟

This year, we’re thrilled to be celebrating a decade of creating beautiful moments for our customers, and we’ve got a year of exciting celebrations planned! To kick things off, we’re proud to announce Create Aberdeen as our Charity of the Year! 💖

Create Aberdeen does incredible work providing support and opportunities for adults with learning disabilities in Aberdeen. Through a wide variety of activities, they help individuals develop life skills, make friends, and, most importantly, have fun! 🎉

Last month, I had the privilege of meeting Alex, their Service Development Manager, and learning more about their impactful work. I even joined a workshop and found myself taking part in a lively Zumba session! 💃

This year, we’ll be supporting Create Aberdeen through fundraising activities and leading floristry workshops with their service users. Plus, we’re introducing a Refer a Friend scheme: for every successful referral, we’ll donate directly to the charity to support their vital work.

Thank you for being part of our journey - we couldn’t have made it this far without you! Together, we can help make a difference. 🌸

✨ Congratulations, Maria & Raphael! ✨

A huge cheers to the newlyweds, Maria & Raphael, who tied the knot last Sunday at The Riverside in Dyce!

Maria had a clear vision for her flowers, classic white roses paired with fragrant stocks, and we were delighted to bring it to life. We couldn’t resist adding a few seasonal beauties to complement the look, creating a bouquet that was timeless, elegant, and full of texture.

Wishing you both a lifetime of love and happiness!

🌿✨ A Love Story Preserved ✨🌿

Katie & Casey’s stunning wedding at Netherdale House last summer was nothing short of magical! Their timeless white & green florals were a perfect reflection of their love - Katie’s voluminous bouquet of gypsophila & large-headed roses paired beautifully with Casey’s delicate, understated arrangement.

But the story doesn’t end there! We had the honour of preserving their bouquets and transforming them into a bespoke framed artwork - merging their blooms into one everlasting keepsake. A true symbol of their union!

Want to see more from their big day and the final floral artwork? Head over to our blog now! Link in bio

The Wedding Guest List: Who’s In & Who’s Out?

Working on your guest list? It’s a delicate balance between love, budget, and avoiding awkward conversations. Here’s a guide:

🎉 Definitely Invited:
✔️ People who actually know both of you exist!
✔️ Anyone who will dance, cry, and cheer like they mean it
✔️ Family members who won’t cause drama (a rare breed, but they exist)

🚫 Not Making the Cut:
❌ That distant cousin you last saw in 2004
❌ Your boss, do they need to see you do the drunken Macarena?
❌ Plus-ones you've never met - this isn’t a networking event!

Tag a bride or groom-to-be who needs to see this list!

Head online to our contact form if you'd like to work with us to help you create the perfect stationery for your big day.

Junior Bridesmaids

Have you got girls in your Bridal Party which are too old for flower baskets or wands, but too young or too slight of frame for a full sized bridesmaid bouquet?

Ask for a junior bridesmaid bouquet, where we'll take the size of a bridesmaid bouquet and reduce it further to a perfect posy for that young lady 😍

For Nikki & Peter

Our first wedding back flowering of 2025 and picking up where we left off at Logie Country House

As far as quick turnarounds go, this wedding was definitely up there, with just over 1 month from initial enquiry to delivery, the joy of out of season 😀

Burgundy with darker blues and purples for the bouquets, mixing in some lighter shades to brighten up inside the House, what a great shout from the couple.

Congratulations 🌟 wishing you all the best for your future together.
