Hi, with the new website and all the new directions the business is going in I thought it was about time I introduced myself again.

I’m Charlotte and I began as a wedding and events florist nearly a decade ago. I’ve always been passionate about British grown produce so making the transition from designing and arranging to growing was only ever a matter of time.

In addition to farming sustainable British flowers and foliage and supporting our wonderful florists and flower shops, I offer a variety of educational workshops for amateurs and professionals alike, as well as new floral experiences coming in 2025 like pick-your-own. All of which are either hosted on our new farm or in our floral studio.

Well I think it’s safe to say it’s arrived! Ordinarily it’s one of my favourite times of year. Everything slows down (most of the time) and there’s nothing quite like those sunny cold days!

However this year the start of autumn only makes me very aware of just how little time I have left to get all the perennials dug up from the old farm and planted up onto the new. Time is ticking and I’ve got to get cracking!

But instead of focusing on the mountain of potentially unachievable things that need to get done (what’s new 🤣) here’s a few shots of all the best last autumn had to offer! 🍂

Beautiful Millie and her girls from her wedding on a very warm May day! 🌸

As some of you may know my website is currently under construction 🚧 so if you want to get in touch regarding your big day either DM me or drop me an email to [email protected] 🤍

If wedding flowers that celebrate British grown blooms, arranged in a naturalistic, romantic abundance is your vibe then I may just be the florist for you!

23/08/2024

C H A N G E S

Oh so much to tell you but where to start!

So currently I don’t have a website 🙄

I will very soon have a smart new landing page but until then if you want any info about F&B or want to enquire about your wedding date you can reach me on here or email [email protected]

As we come to the end of 2024 and start planning for 2025 there will be a shift in my business, making the growing element a far greater percentage of what I do. This doesn’t mean weddings are any less important it’s just means that I’m aiming to spend most of my time growing flowers for these weddings and for florists in my local area.

I have loved growing flowers this year and seen first hand how many florists like myself crave to use British flowers in their work. However it isn’t always the easiest and this is something I really want to help change. More on this at a later date!

This does however mean I will be doing far fewer weddings. To put it in perspective I normally do 30-40 weddings a year. For 2026 I won’t be booking any more than 7-10, 10 being the absolute max! My 2026 calendar is open so if you’ve been thinking of getting in touch don’t delay! Also the weddings I do book will be for couples who share my love of British flowers and are keen for true seasonality to shine through on their big day!

With the shift in my business and all the changes I will be making it seems only right that my name changes along with this. The new name will be announced shortly but for now I’m working on all the logistics that come along with that!

Needless to say there will be lots coming in the next few months and I’m so excited to be sharing it all with you!

I count myself lucky to have met some really beautiful brides in my time as a wedding florist. Nothing gives me more joy than creating a bouquet for them and the gravitas of the occasion is never lost on me!

Here’s the gorgeous Millie who got married back in May. Not only be of my brides but also a friend which makes it all the more special!

Sharing a few images from a very special wedding I had the honour of flowering and attending in late spring this year.

Millie and I decided on a soft pastel palette full of all the beauties of late spring/ early summer. Ranunculus, Peonies, Delphiniums and a few of my prized Vovos Tulips (the only two that didn’t get eaten by mice)!

The bridesmaids carried a single rose. Something symbolic and meaningful to the bride who also had a single red rose nestled in her bouquet.

We dressed the entrance to the church with two beautiful Silver Birch trees which were then moved to sit behind the top table. Both trees were taken back to the family farm to be planted as a lasting memory of such a magical day!

And of course Lloyds beloved tractor got some extra special flowery treatment! 🚜💙

Thank you so much Millie & Lloyd for having me as part of your special day in more ways than one! ###

This industry is full of wonderful suppliers producing inspirational work. With Pinterest, Instagram and other social outlets to look to for inspiration it’s easy to wonder where your business fits in and feel confused with your identity!

If I’ve learnt anything in my many years as a wedding business owner is that listening to your creative intuition and following your instincts, doing you and ignoring what anyone else is up to will create an authentic brand that others will be drawn to. Giving you a clear identity that can be nothing but authentically you!

I loved working on this brand shoot with the wonderfully creative

D E T A I L S It’s what I’m here for 😉 Perhaps surprisingly when it comes to your wedding florals it’s not just all about the flowers! So much comes into the decision of what flowers and styling will work well for your day. The choice of venue, the dress, time of year, what matters to you both as a couple, size of celebration… The list goes on. It’s my job to pull all these details together and create a day that is not only authentically you but perfectly cohesive. Fortunately enough the details are what I love! ❤️ Concept, Florals, Styling & Stationary @frondandbloom Photography @sophiemayphoto Videography @ratherlovelyfilms Venue @thewillowmarshfarm Hair @helensutcliffehair MUA @lauren.butlermakeup Bespoke Bridalwear @susannagreeningdesigns Cake @rocknrollbaker Model @rachrichardson_

S P R I N G It seems so odd to be planing for spring 🌷 when we are still in the 2024 growing season. So much of flower farming is spent looking ahead and planning! Yesterday was all about spring bulbs and making sure all my orders are in ready for autumn planting. Today will be a mad sowing session of hardy annuals so next year can kick off in full bloom! A few details from a shoot I organised @thewillowmarshfarm in early spring this year. Titled ‘Awaking’ it captured all the beauty of early spring as everything started to bloom after a long sleepy winter. Beautifully captured by the wonderful @ratherlovelyfilms 🤍 Concept, Florals, Styling & Stationary @frondandbloom Photography @sophiemayphoto Videography @ratherlovelyfilms Venue @thewillowmarshfarm Hair @helensutcliffehair MUA @lauren.butlermakeup Bespoke Bridalwear @susannagreeningdesigns Cake @rocknrollbaker Model @rachrichardson_ If bowls filled with springs bounty are your vibe then get in touch [email protected]

A N N I V E R S A R Y Happy Anniversary to this gorgeous pair! Still one of my favourite weddings ever and a total dream to work with! Thank you India & Henry for trusting me with the flowers for your big day! X @thewillowmarshfarm @thetrove_ @halfpennylondon @martad.weddings

H I 👋🏻 For those of you that are new around here, I thought I’d say hi and tell you a little more about Frond & Bloom. Frond & Bloom is me (well I get lots of help from the hubby!) We’re a Leicestershire based Artisan grower and Floral design studio. I’ve been flowering weddings and events for over 8 years now and this year I added flower farmer to my résumé! Not only do I love weddings and growing but I also really enjoy teaching and sharing my craft with others. This little clip is from Flourish a content day for florists I hosted at the beautiful @prestwoldhall earlier in the year. Working on a round too in the autumn. For more info and all the services Frond & Bloom provides head to my website www.frondandbloom.com

P R E P Why not take some time to get some beautiful bridal portraits with your bouquet before you finish getting ready. The morning of your wedding is a busy one but trust me capturing a few moments in you suite before the day’s festivities will not be something you regret 😉 Plus when your bridal suit is as beautiful as this stunning @prestwoldhall it would be rude not to don’t you think?

B U C K E T S The farm is kicking out some real beauties at the moment. There’s not a huge amount of annuals apart from my beloved Sweet peas as it’s my first season on the farm and I’m spending it getting to grips with everything and tending to the perennials. I added more small plants to the Achillea bed in the summer and now it’s paying off with a bumper crop of blooms! If you are a florist local to me and want to get your hands on some British flowers drop me an email [email protected] 🇬🇧🌸

C O N T E N T D A Y Today, I’ve been planning all the details for the florists content day taking place at the beautiful @prestwoldhall on May 14th 🤍 It’s going to be sooo good 👌🏻 and I can’t wait for the super talented @sophiemaybranding to capture it all! There’s just 1 ticket left. If you want more info drop me a DM. There may also be a cheeky discount code I can send your way!

S P R I N G So you are thinking of getting married in spring and frankly why wouldn’t you! It’s such a special time of year, everything is so verdant and after a long British winter the emerging blooms bring so much joy! I love all that the season has on offer at this time of year and her are just a few flowers that I love to work with… Early Spring 🌸 Hellebores 🌸 Narcissi 🌸Hamamelis Then come the 🌸 Tulips 🌸 Iris 🌸 Ranunculus 🌸 Hyacinths 🌸 Anemones And a bounty of Blossom 🌸 Total heaven 💫 Also I happen to be in love with this beautiful lemon palette the Tulips and Narcissi (all grown on the farm) are bring to the table. If you are a spring 2025 bride and this is your vibe please get in touch! 🙏🏻

M A R C H On the farm and after what has felt like a very long winter flowers are beginning to bloom 🌸 The fancy daffs are bringing me so much joy 🥰 I spent some time today creating an arrangement in my favourite footed bowl to celebrate the beauty the farm is giving me. 💛

S P R I N G 42 days and counting! Found this little video when replying to your stories. Back in lockdown when there was time to just create 🌷🍋 Note to self - more creative time this year, just because. What do you all love to do in your spare time? Is it sad that playing with flowers is my day job and my hobby!?! 😂
