Congratulations to Claire and Ben who tied the knot yesterday at Ashfield House, Wigan. We loved Claire’s colour choice for her wedding flowers. Perfect for an Autumn wedding.

We loved creating these stunning Autumnal florals for Kate's wedding recently.

These rich, warm jewel tones are a perfect alternative colour pallette for the season.

We will be at this fundraising event with samples of our fresh Christmas wreaths and swags for you to preorder for delivery in early December.

The Church Roof restoration fund. This fashion show and sale will raise vital funds to help with the restoration of St Mary’s Church roof. Some great bargains to be had and all in a great cause.

Our wreath making workshops are back, but a little bit different this time.

We really missed running these workshops last year, although we felt we needed a break from them, they have become such a part of our Christmas traditions we had to bring them back this time.

Places are extremely limited as we are only running one workshop that is open for booking:

Saturday 30th November 2024
1pm start
The Farm, Martin Lane, Burscough L40 0RT

Heading back to The Farm for this as we can't resist Cathy's Mince Pies.

You will spend an idyllic festive afternoon with us creating your very own fresh wreath with a selection of fragrant winter foliage and decorations in your chosen style, under our expert guidance. All while enjoying a warming mulled wine (non alcoholic option available) and festive bake.

Just in time to hang on your door on 1st December to make the most of the season.

Price £75 per person.
Please email [email protected] to book or with any questions.

Here is what we were up to in the pub last week. Lots of dried flowers to add some Autumn cheer.

Now, why on earth would 2 florists be propping up the bar on a Monday morning???

It means the world when we get such lovely feedback-
Hi Alison and Clare,
Thank you so much for providing such beautiful flowers with such attention to detail and care. They looked and smelt amazing and were perfect in every way. I asked for quite a lot of different things and you absolutely took everything on board and they were so beautiful.
The little Iris’s in memory of my grandma opened up perfectly on the day.
We are very grateful for everything, all your communication throughout and your professionalism.
We wont hesitate to recommend you to everyone we know!

We first met Rosie and her fabulous Mum at one of our wreath making workshops. They both loved flowers and where full of excitement and fun. We knew then, we would really enjoy creating her and Steve’s flowers. It is so exciting to see the professional photos especially when taken by the very talented rachelburtphotography

Wow! We are absolutely blown away by the response we have had to our workshops this year, we hadn’t realised how much everyone had missed them.

Places on all the workshops are filling fast, with very limited space remaining on the Wreath Making Workshop (30th November) and the Table Centre workshop (21st December). If you would like to book on any of these workshops please get in touch sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment.

Please email [email protected] for more information or to book.

Lots of details are on our recent posts here.

We can’t wait!

Last year we introduced door swags for the first time and they were really popular. They a re a modern, stylish twist on the festive door wreath with the added bonus of being a little bit easier on the pocket (which we all appreciate at the current time) without compromising on that luxury look.

This year we thought it would be fun to give you all the opportunity to learn to make them!

This is a morning workshop, so you will join us for a delicious brekkie of a bacon barm (vegetarian option available) and a brew before we get stuck in.

Saturday 30th November
10am start (we expect this workshop will take around an hour and a half)
The Farm Burscough
Your choice of colourway.
£40 per person
Subject to minimum numbers

Please email [email protected] with any questions, for more details or to book.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Our fresh and fabulous table centres are always really popular to order and we are often asked if we can run a workshop for these.

We've listened to the requests and are running our first one this year!
We know you've all got social calendars bursting at the seams at this time of year, but these arrangements need to be done quite last minute so they are at their best for the big day. So, we are going for a morning workshop and you'll even get your brekkie with us....a bacon barm (vegetarian option available) and a brew, followed by a creative morning then plenty of time to hit the shops for last minute gifts or go and get your blow dry for the evening's party.

Saturday 21st December
10am till approximately 12noon
The Farm Burscough
Your choice of colour scheme
£50 per person.
Subject to minimum numbers

Please email [email protected] with any questions, for more details or to book.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Limited places available.

In addition to this workshop, we are also offering private bookings. We are really excited about these as it means we can offer a more personal workshop for you and your friends.

We can either come to you (at your house or another venue of your choosing) or arrange a private workshop at The Farm (with the option of a festive afternoon tea) or a boutique workshop for a smaller group in our workshop at The Flower Farm.

These range in price from £60 to £95 per person, and the best bit is if you are the host and you book for 10 or more people then your place is free as a thank you from us for organising.

Please note dates are limited as we have some lovely weddings and other committments already booked in.

Please email me at [email protected] for more details, with any questions or to enquire about availability for a date.

Looking forward to seeing you there

Bulb planting. All our Spring Tulip’s are now potted up in crates. Can’t wait to see them bloom in a few months. #flowerfarmer #flowersburscough #burscough #theflowerfarm #flowerfarmerflorist #rufford #flowerfarming #flowerfarm #floristburscough #flowerfarmer #flowersburscough #theflowerfarm #flowerfarmerflorist #flowerfarming #tulipplanting

We often get asked how many flowers are in a DIY bucket, and we say roughly between 60 and 80 stems, or enough to fill at least ten jam jars, but it can hard to visualise, so we thought we’d share a video of one of our buckets for a bride that had requested a strong pastel mix.

Summer flower bouquet. All homegrown here in Burscough, Lancashire. #britishflowersrock #theflowerfarm #burscoughflorist #burscoughflowers #grownnotflown #pinkbouquet #smellsamazing

What’s in today’s bouquets? This is something we get asked a lot so we are going to post more about the contents of our arrangements. Today we have the most amazing smelling homegrown mint, partnered with our own Allium, Broom, Ranunculus, Senecio and Anemone. Then from the market, as it’s a bit to soon for our own we have Peonies, Roses, Snapdragons, Tanacetum, chrysanthemum, Stocks, Sweet Will’s and Thlaspi.

Let’s talk Gent’s flowers, we often talk about bouquets, so we thought it was time the men got a look in. Buttonholes need to made using flowers that will stand being out of water, and also getting knocked about a bit during all the hugging that tends to go on at a wedding. They need to be the tougher varieties. We tend to pick a small selection of mixed flowers that match those from the bouquets. We always make them on the natural stem then they can be kept in water until the last minute, before a quick pat dry and pinned into place, usually on the left hand side of the jacket. We always give Groom’s the option of a larger version from the rest of the wedding party, it’s a roughly 50/50 split on if they do or dont. Of course buttonholes can be worn by female members of the bridal party too, but the ladies tend to opt for a corsage ( a little bit bigger and fastened with a magnet as well as a pin to take the weight of delicate fabrics).

It’s Earth Day today and this year’s theme is planet over plastic. We thought it was a good opportunity to explain how we are trying to reduce our use of plastic. All of our bouquets including bridal bouquets and bunches of flowers come wrapped in brown paper, we have completely cut out our use of cellophane. We have also reduced our use of floral foam, we haven’t cut it out completely as there are some designs we just haven’t found a suitable alternative too, but when we do use it, we use the bio foam which isn’t perfect, but certainly better than the traditional type. We plant a lot of our seeds into plastic trays but we’ve reused them now for over ten years, and we will continue to use them until they are no longer useable, then we will move entirely over to soil blockers. We are not perfect, but we believe by making a few manageable changes, they can add up. #earthday #theflowerfarm #burscoughflorist #lancashireweddingflorist #earthday2024🌍 #reduceplasticwaste #everybitcounts #britishflowers #ruffordflorist #nocellophane #burscoughflowers

Doesn’t a bit of sunshine make you feel so much happier?

Mother’s Day for us in the UK is super early this year, it’s next weekend. We still have a few slots left for orders. Head over to our website if you’d like to treat your Mum to some lovely fresh flowers.

I don’t know what has happened to the terrible rain we were forecast for today, but I am certainly not complaining, it’s given us a great morning for planting out.

Valentines Day - 5 days to go. We don’t really do red roses, we prefer to stick with a lovely mixture of flowers. If this is what your other half loves to, please head over to our website to order as soon as you can, as we can only do limited numbers and once they’re gone, they’re gone.

We are very aware that you may be struggling right now with the cost of living. We also know all our business costs are rocketing, we didn’t want to have to increase our prices, but in order to keep the business going we have had no option but to reassess the price of everything we offer. However we also really wanted to find a new offering, something that wasn’t just a bunch of flowers, but a lovely thoughtful gift at a realistic price point. That’s why we are introducing our bud vases. The set in a little wooden crate are £25 including local delivery and a gift card, and the individual coloured vases come in 3, 5 or 7’s and start from £30 with local delivery and a card included, all can be ordered via the website.
