bronzy tulips

Not their official name. I'm not sure what variety these ones are. I just know they are such a gorgeous colour.

I'm just waiting for more tulips. When I start to see more tulips I know the flowers are on their way 😁

Hi it's me,

If you're new here, I'm Sarah. Floral designer, creative and generally have my fingers in lots of pies. I love flowers and I love creating things so basically this is my dream job. There's more bucket washing and laptop work than I'd like but I'm very lucky to be able to sculpt and play with floral ingredients to make beautiful bouquets and arrangements for people.

And a huge thanks to chou chou for this lovely picture at Altrincham Town Hall last year. I never remember to get any pictures of myself. If you look closely can you see my hair is back with twine - the standard hair tie for any florist!

Glasshouse venues in the north

Glasshouses, orangeries and palm houses bring together nature, plants and botanical gardens in unique light filled spaces.

Now I know there's lots of spectacular venues down south, but I felt like this curated list from the North of England and Wales was missing. So here's my top pics for a wedding under glass and head over to the website to read the full blog.

, Cheshire. A chance to get married in either the gazebo in the exotic gardens or in The Orangery, nestled in the delamere countryside.

, Cheshire. The glasshouse, filled with light and surrounded by vines in the walled garden. With options of both an indoor and outdoor ceremony.

, Wales. A unique luxury wedding venue nestled in the Welsh countryside. The Orangery can be used for intimate ceremonies.

, North Yorkshire. The fig house exudes simple elegance, overlooking the walled garden set in the two acre Middleton Estate.

The Riding School, by , Derbyshire. An elegant venue with a trendy reception space set amongst the manicured gardens of the Calke Abbey. Whilst you can't get married in the glasshouse it's an amazing spot for photos.

Liverpool. A truly unique ceremony location, surrounded by palms and the exotic botanical collection at this victorian orangery.

, Cheshire. The Vinery is a courtyard, located behind the iconic Glasshouses full of natural light available for intimate ceremonies.

If you're thinking about a glasshouse, firstly you have impeccable taste! Secondly, I would love to work with you to design florals that do these botanical backdrops justice. Consultations can be booked direct through insta or the website - I can't wait to hear your ideas.

Rose alternatives

I know it's valentines day and the red roses will be out in force but I just wanted to share something that I think is more beautiful. All the roses you see in the shops are flown in and rack up lots of air miles and a big carbon footprint.

So if you haven't got your flowers already can I suggest some seasonally available British Grown Tulips instead.

How to make your wedding your own: breaking free from tradition

Your wedding day is one of the most personal moments of your life, so it’s important that it’s just the way you want it? While wedding trends and traditions can offer inspiration, they aren’t rules you have to follow, and nothing has to be done a certain way. (no matter what Aunty May might think!)

It’s made me so happy to help so many couples embrace their individuality and do things their way. Here's a few tips to help you do it your way and head over to the website to read the full blog article.

1. Focus on what matters to you
Start by thinking about what’s most meaningful to you as a couple. Maybe you love travelling together, love board games or want to honour your heritage.

2. Play with colour
Who says you need to stick to pastels or muted tones? If bright, bold colours are more your style, go for it! Your colour scheme and theme are the foundation of your wedding design, so make sure they reflect your personality.

3. Rethink floral traditions and trends
Flowers are one of the most versatile elements of wedding design, and they can be tailored to fit any style. there's endless lists of what you could have, but you don’t “have” to choose any.

4. Trust Your Instincts
Ultimately, the best way to make your wedding your own is to follow your instincts. If you love the idea of something unconventional—do it! Whether it’s an intimate elopement, a non-traditional dress, or a quirky flower arrangement, your day should feel right for you.

I love to celebrate individuality and creativity. From designing bold, bespoke bouquets to crafting one-of-a-kind installations, it’s my job to help you express yourselves through flowers.

Spring tulip bouquet

Hellebores, anemones, ferns and tulips in this lovely spring bouquet. The tulips are individually wired to make sure they last the day and stay perky. A labour of love, but worth it!

Peak District Weddings

I might be biased living on the edge of the Peak District, but this national park provides setting for a wedding in northern England. Surrounded by nature and dramatic views, this part of the world has a lot to offer. And did you know that the area has had light pollution restricted which provides dark skies for stargazing on clear nights. So here's my top picks...

, Chesterfield. A lovingly restored country house with lots of character a beautiful garden room for ceremonies.

, at The Tawny, Ashbourne. Nestled in the Basford Estate, the valley contains many surprises from the walled garden to the many follys and woodland nooks. There's also amazing woodland huts and lakeside treehouses to relax and start your honeymoon.

, Ashbourne. Experience outstanding service on the Trusley Estate with a characterful ceremony barn and spacious courtyard. The team's service and attention to detail will blow you away.

, Tideswell. A intimate venue perfect for foodies, with its award winning restaurant.

The Riding School, Ticknall by . An elegant venue with a trendy reception space, with on-site chapel and glasshouse.

, New Mills. A former cotton mill on the banks of the river Goyt, this industrial backdrop is a very cool setting for both indoor and outdoor ceremonies.

, Ashbourne. 17th century mansion meets relaxed sophistication. My favourite spot for pictures has to be the stunning rose garden.

, High Peak. This distinctive 15th century medieval estate nestled in 30 acres of woodland, provides a historic backdrop for ceremonies.

, at Callow Hall, Ashbourne. An elegant victorian country house where you can spend your wedding night in a wild hive treehouses in the ancient woodland.

Top tips on wedding florals for newly engaged couples

Congratulations on your engagement! Planning your wedding is an exciting. Here’s my top tips to get you started and for more info head over to the website to read the full blog. You can also book a no-obligation consultation me through the "book" button on insta or through the website to chat over ideas.

1. Decide what’s important to you
I know from first-hand experience, that when you first get engaged, everyone seems to pop up with ideas and thoughts of their own. Weddings don’t have to be a certain way.The most important tip I give every couple is to focus on what’s important to you.

2. Explore your vision
Before diving into specifics, take some time to envision your wedding day. Your vision will help guide your choices and give you a starting point for the flowers.

3. Get some inspiration
It can be difficult to know where to start. So, take your time and have a google and see what images and ideas jump out at you. A small word of caution, is that not everything online is as it seems - remember to be realistic, there’s always ways to turn your inspiration into ideas for your big day.

4. Set your budget
Flowers can add a truly special accent to your day. It’s ok to realistic about your budget and where you want to focus it.

5. Trust your florist’s expertise
Your florist is your partner in bringing your floral vision to life. Be open to their suggestions as they have experience and ideas to make the most of the season and capture your style.

All weddings are lovely, and the most important thing is that you are happy with all your plans and have fun x
