Bennington Blooms Floristry and Venue Styling

Vintage pinks is always a show stopper - add a blossom tree or two and chair sashes snd it’s elegant feminine charm 😍🥰 xx

14/05/2024

This did make me laugh … sure there’s many hubbies/ wives and partners that can agree with this statement - especially in the wedding world!! Thank you Mr Blooms … we are eternally grateful for helping on our journey and not only riding the storm being made part of it 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ ###

Two of our favs to work with recently … the wonderful Tailor made Moment Luxury Wedding Stationery at the stunning Harlaxton Manor.

11/05/2024

One we’ll never forget - meeting a couple only 2 days before the wedding, not 100% sure what we were doing was a tad nail biting!! The couple bought the California sunshine and wow what a result at the gorgeous Harlaxton Manor 🥰🥰

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ

I posted a couple of times about changes and Mrs Blooms hanging up her apron but a quick recap.

All existing couples should have received an email about the changes and our website now has been changed with no live diary and pictures only.
The Website WILL be disappearing in Nov time (when our subscription ends) so please do not panic - You all have my personal phone number on invoices and the email - and I will be travelling to you to do your final meeting, or meet you at your venue or a phone call.
I absolutely love what I do and its totally breaking my heart to have made this decision so believe me, if you`re one of the last couples still booked with us YOU ARE SUPER SPECIAL and I promise I will look after you.
I am taking no further bookings BUT my page with all my pictures will remain live - as I am so proud of the work and love that we shared and I will now start sharing pictures of peoples days and flowers again (stopped as people then enquired and every time it made me doubt my decision!!) Benni the van has gone and we have sold most of our stock (unless its needed for your special day) so this post will remain at the top of our site indefinitely and if you were one of my couples I cannot thank you enough for sharing your special day with us - the purpose and joy your day bought to me personally will be forever in my heart. Im off to get a cuppa before I cry again!! ###

How gorgeous was this day over at the beautiful Colwick Hall Hotel a couple of weekends ago. Such an elegant colour pallet and gorgeous floral choices 😍😍

Bit of a different delivery today from the wholesalers!! … to replace playing with flowers for next summer - a veggie patch is hopefully going to be keeping me busy!! I’m hoping for a greenhouse and cutting garden too - but believe it or not I’m not good with plants!! So keep your fingers crossed for me … no plant based emojis for obvious reasons!! 😂🤣😂 xx

Well what can I say … we only went and won Top Blog for the year with Unconventional Wedding!!
The brains behind the shoot was Pink Photographics whose mind is full of awesomeness - Hair by Sam created such awesome colour and style, love and giggles. Tailor made Moment Luxury Wedding Stationery provided stationery for the flat lay and joined us in spirit and craziness - see comments for details of who sent the dresses and Chad At Empire provided suits.
The laughs we had in our gorgeous villa /home for a week and the company of Beth and Ali our gorgeous couple added to the fun …
Thank you for allowing me to help with your vision Mrs S and driving you all the wrong way round the island!! ###x

***Important update ***
Well guys that list of 20 dates is on its way ... but I need to share the other bits of news I have with you.....
I have loved every second of my journey that has allowed me to share so many special days and memories with you. The last four years in particular have been especially tough and its time to make those changes to take me hopefully into old age!!

Up until June 2025 it will be business as usual..... after that I don`t really know where my future will take me, but I need to spend weekends with my family, so my apron and snippers will be hung up and is why i have given the 20 dates to see me through financially till then ... so your support is still most welcomed and will be given the love you deserve.
Bennington Styling is not me, but is somebody that has been the most amazing support over the past four years, and she is going to be continuing with the styling side and will have my support and any floral skills I can offer her. As somebody that runs weddings at venues at the moment, I can 1000% recommend her and feel very honoured that she is using Bennington Styling (for now as her branding - however the BS part is something we have both giggled over a lot!!) I have also a couple of businesses in particular that I need to show my love and support for and ask you to do the same Pink Photographics and Tailor made Moment Luxury Wedding Stationery have been rocks to me and I will be eternally grateful and know they are friends and mischief makers for life.
So keep you eyes out for those 20 dates, that will help keep me afloat till that hook gets filled.... and if you are looking for floral or any wedding support in the meantime, on my website you can find a list of suppliers that I wouldn`t hesitate to recommend for your special day- florist, stylist etc for use after June 25 or beforehand and work so hard to make your dreams come true.

Love to everyone and thank you thank you thank you for the amazing love and support- you really did help make my dreams come true - Lucy ###
