🍁 Autumn Weddings 🍁

I have completely lost my head over the stunning colours and textures that Autumn offers for Weddings! I am totally obsessed and this beautiful Wedding was no exception!! 🍁🍁🍁

It’s not every day that you are asked to create florals for a special friend. In fact, for one of the loveliest people on the planet!!

Last week, gorgeous Zoe married her partner Alan in a gorgeously intimate Wedding reception, set in the grounds of the beautiful . What a venue! So perfect for the happy couple and they both looked incredible!!

Zoe gave me artistic license to create her flowers and put her trust in me completely! This means the world to me and I set about designing the flowers to compliment her personality, skin tone, hair colour, Bridal gown and ultimately the season! Packed with seasonal flowers and foliage, bursting with the colours and textures of the season, these autumnal flowers worked a treat!! Dream job!!

Congratulations Zoe & Alan!!! I am truly honoured to have played a small part in your big day! Here’s to a lifetime of happiness!

Much love,

“Nardyn & Kyle”

Receiving beautiful Wedding images from our couples big day is like Christmas Eve to me! I absolutely love it! Soooo exciting!! Thank you so much for sharing!

What a beautiful day it was for Nardyn & Kyle! All the colours of the season captured in their Wedding florals! Beautifully caught on film for a lifetime of happy memories!

I will always feel grateful for being granted “artistic license” on the floral design for Weddings. Each one, carefully designed over time, with meetings, numerous cuppas and cake to ensure the vision is brought to life!

Always an honour and finally seeing the vision burst into life on the day is a feeling like no other!

Thankyou for a truly wonderful Wedding season.

Here’s to next year!

Abbie & Tom ❤️

What an amazing day!!!

Yesterday I had the absolute pleasure of creating the Wedding florals for Abbie & Tom as they tied the knot in a beautiful, intimate ceremony at the gorgeous nestled in the beautiful countryside.

I initially met Abbie at her professional dance college where I was her teacher! So lovely to have stayed in touch all of that time and who’d have ever though that I would create the florals for her special day!!! So lovely!

Abbie went on to pursue her career in professional theatre, film and television. Meeting her now Husband Tom on the show “ Billy Elliott!!! We decided we needed to incorporate their showbiz connections into their florals, so we used Abbie’s tap shoes and Toms Minors boots from the show, as a feature on the day!

The perfect venue for this couple to celebrate with those closest to them! I always encourage couples to use personal items to showcase their Wedding flowers! It adds such a personal touch and tells the story of their journey together! ❤️

Beautiful locally grown dahlias from . Stunning colours! I absolutely love this season and all of the autumnal tones and textures that it brings!!

Thankyou for trusting me with your flowers! It really is a privilege I will never take for granted or tire of! Here’s to a lifetime of happiness! X

Thanks to my team for the additional flowers and being amazing as always x

💕 Grace & Sam 💕

This gorgeous couple married on a day where the weather had other ideas!!! However, nothing prevented Grace & Sam from having the best day of their lives with a beautiful country Wedding held here in stunning Suffolk. Grace had such a lovely vision for her big day with wildly romantic, seasonal country blooms, which added rustic charm to her already gorgeous setting! These stunning images by have captured their special day perfectly! Thank you so much for allowing me to share these memories and for trusting me to create your Wedding flowers, it was a true honour!! What a beautiful day! Congratulations to you both ###

Boys at football, Ella busy with crafts- the perfect opportunity to deep clean my beautiful “ Flower Den!”
She’s taken a bit of a hammering recently with non stop Weddings and events but I have a very rare quiet weekend on the flower front! Cleaned her from top to bottom, emptied all drawers and cupboards! I have even prepped for upcoming wreath workshops( both Autumn and Winter!) Now sat back with a cuppa, admiring this beautiful space, my little piece of heaven! Peaceful, surrounded by nature and so good for the soul! Forever grateful for this little creative space ( thanks hubby 😍)

I will be launching the upcoming Autumn Wreath Workshops dates in the coming week! Keep your eyes peeled for those or drop me a messsgd if you’d like to book a private workshop. I can accommodate groups of up to 6 people!

I’m already taking group bookings for Xmas Wreath Workshops so please be quick if you’d like to do one as I’m not doing as many this year!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Much love Emma xandpeach

💕Megan & Owen💕

What an honour to create the Wedding flowers for this wonderful couple. I first met Megan and Owen a year ago to discuss the vision for their big day. Both had such wonderful ideas and trusted me to bring them to life!! I absolutely loved incorporating succulents and dried flowers and foliage into the design! The colour palette was to die for with big, blousy blooms creating romance and charm. Set in the beautiful grounds of Woodhall Manor, it couldn’t have been more perfect!

I have to thank an incredible team of people for all of their help and support with the Wedding. I really couldn’t have done it without you all and I’m so grateful! Shoutout to .willow

Was also really lovely to collaborate with the brilliant on the truly stunning Wedding cake! Loved it!

Enjoying a lovely rest with the family today after a very busy time. Have a fab day ###xx

For Emily and Thomas
17/06/23

Yesterday I had the absolute honour of creating the Wedding flowers for this lovely couple. Set in the stunning grounds of The Tudor Barn, Belstead, a truly beautiful venue.

Emily had such a great vision for their special day and put all of her trust in me to bring it to life!! So exciting to have creative license and the opportunity to play around with ideas! Peonies featured heavily throughout, a little scary in the heat but they behaved themselves!!! Flowers were arranged in a whimsical, blousy style with a colour palette to die for!! Loved every minute!

Congratulations to the happy couple. Here’s to love, laughter and a lifetime of happiness 💕
