🌸🪩 A&A 🪩🌸
A few snaps taken by the wonderful of their absolutely beautiful day in June at 🌿
I absolutely adored creating their wedding florals & they were such a dream to work with... I've got a serious case of post-wedding blues that their wedding has been & gone! 🥹
Can we do it again?? 😅
A question couples always ask.....
Who should have personal flowers on our wedding day? 🌸
These are typically reserved for the Bridal party & Groom's party!
But essentially, anyone you feel is important to you or plays a pivotal role in your day can have them!
Equally, it's absolutely OK for only the Bride & Groom to have something if you wish!
YOUR WEDDING, YOUR RULES!
Just take a look at S&C's immense wedding party's!🫶
Everyone of them had mixed & matched personal florals, which were unique but complimented each other!
They all looked incredible and clearly had a whale of a time... swipe to the last image! 😅🥰

✨️The most beautiful setting for Alex & Si's glorious wedding back in April!✨️
Creating florals with the environment in mind was extremely important to the couple, so every arrangement was made using sustainable floristry methods & the majority of the florals used were beautiful British grown blooms sourced from 🌸
I'm a little obsessed! 🫶

• Floral Bud Vases •
These petite beauties are perfect for creating beautiful tablescapes, when space or budgets are a little tighter.
Single stem or multi-stem bud vases work perfectly for any wedding aesthetic, whether it is a romantic, rustic, classical, or modern-luxe vibe.
We recommend couples to have between 3-5 bud vases per table. Although more is always more! ☺️
To create a really impactful, abundant & beautiful table scape, pairing them with stunning votive or tapered candles and luxiourious fabrics is always a winner! You won't be sorry! 🫶

HELLO 👋 I'm Beth!!
Owner, founder & floral designer of Wildlings & Aster!
I've had quite a few new followers over the last few weeks (thankyou Instagram algorithm 🙏😅). So I thought I'd do a little post so you can get to know me better!
☆ I've not always been a florist.. Before W&A, I was a nurse for 13+ years! In all honesty, I knew very early on that nursing wouldn't make me happy, but getting out of nursing is hard! Anyway, I finally escaped, and now I'm living my best life in a career that I absolutely adore!
☆ I'm a Mummy to 3 beautiful boys (the Wildlings)! They keep me on my toes & kill far too many Roses than I care to admit by "helping" me! 😅 But god, I love the bones of them! 💙💙💙
☆ I'm a big foodie & love nothing better than eating good food with a nice glass or two of something yummy!
☆ My husband & I love to travel & we hope to pass this love onto our Wildings! Our retirement plan heavily features world travel! 🌎
☆ I'm a chronic people pleaser 🙃 In one regard, I've found it a useful trait when running a business, but I've also seen it be detrimental to myself. It's something I've been seriously working on- creating healthy boundaries and not being scared to say no!
☆ I'm a self-confessed geek, I love all sci-fi, star wars, game of thrones & I'm still waiting for my Hogwarts letter! 🙏🪄
I'm intrigued by space & parallel universes. I also have an apocalypse plan ... like everyone does.. right?? 😅
☆ I'm super awkward in front of a camera, and as you will see from this post- I look like a goof in a significant amount of photos! Swipe to the end! 🤣
There you go!
So if you think we'll get along and you're looking for a florist to create beautiful bespoke floral designs for your wedding, I'm here and waiting for your message! 🫶
📷 The first two miraculously good images of me captured by (thank you 🥰)
• THE BRIDAL BOUQUET •
Hands down, the most important floral arrangement of any wedding day!
When creating a bridal bouquet, there are so many things to consider, and A LOT of thought & time go into making them!
From hand selecting the most beautiful top quality blooms, to placing each stem intentionally to make sure they all have their own moment and add beauty and balance to the whole arrangement!
Personally, I will not hand over a bouquet that I don't absolutely love. If I do a happy dance when it's finished, that's usually a good sign! 😅💃
For transparency.... I once remade a bridal bouquet 7 times, as I just didn't love it 🫠🫣😅.. and if I'm not happy, it's certainly not good enough for a bride!
This moment here... handing over the bridal bouquet is the most exciting and equally, nerve-wracking moment of any wedding day for me, because I want nothing more than the Bride to love their bouquet and feel happy holding it on the biggest day of her life!

• The Feel •
Often, couples think they need to nail down specific flower varieties and the colour palette for their wedding florals. When the "feel" or "vibe" is actually the most important thing that I need to know to create the look you want!
This styled shoot brief was described as "Old Hollywood".... looking back at these images, I've definitely got all the feels! 🖤🤍🤌

✨️ Meadow Mountain ✨️
Floral meadows really are one of my absolute favourites... Fun, abundant, and extremely impactful!!
Side note- Mr W&A says this reminds him of post- apocalyptic movies, where nature begins to grow back... which I am all for as a self-confessed sci-fi geek!!! 🙌
I don't really think "apocalypse meadows" is a name that I can legitimately call these... or can I???
😅🤔
The • Awkward • In-between
I'm not sure if it's just me or if other suppliers are feeling this at the moment... but i'm in that weird bit of the year where my "wedding season" hasn't yet started & there isn't a great deal to actually "do"!
I decided to steer clear of the Mothers Day madness this year, so maybe this is why!
So i'm feeling a little lost... I'm super keen to get cracking, but the anticipation has got me feeling a little nervous... nerves are good right?! 😅
I suppose what I'm trying to say is that I just want to get going with all of your beautiful weddings!!! 🤍🙌

✨️ Texture ✨️
In my opinion, it's one of the most important aspects when creating a floral design.... lots of different floral textures create dimension, interest, and a visual treat for the eyes!

✨️Venue • Site • Visits✨️
I've been asked recently whether or not I do venue site visits?
The answer is... it depends!
Venue site visits aren't usually required if:
🔸️ You have a smaller sized wedding.
🔸️ I know the venue well.
🔸️ If your venue florals are pretty self-explanatory & simple to put in place.
I will arrange a venue site visit if:
🔸️ Your wedding is large, with lots of floral arrangements with a big setup on the day!
🔸️ You're having a large floral installation.
🔸️ I haven't worked at that venue before (although this depends on some of the above factors and may not actually be needed)!
Sometimes, a site visit might be me simply visiting alone to check doorway sizes if there is a plan to move flowers after the ceremony.
Or we might combine my site visit and your final consultation meeting to ensure all the final details are confirmed together in person!
Whichever outcome, all setups big and small are carefully planned and discussed with your venue and/or planner prior to your wedding day to ensure a smooth setup!

So much gorgeousness & love, captured perfectly by
