This time of year there isn’t much flower creating but instead lots of proposal designing for our 2025 & 2026 couples. A great opportunity to look back at our previous wedding season 🤍

We have also just launched Christmas on the website! Festive home decoration and a couple of wreath workshops in Cornwall this time. I’m very excited for our plans until the end of the year, with some exciting projects coming up ✨

What I thought would be a slower, much calmer season has turned into a bit of a crazy one!

Happy Weekend everyone! 🍾🫶🏼✨

Stunning photographs of our lovely friends during their ceremony by .greenbrooke 🫶🏼

On an autumn’s day the sun shone through at for C + R’s wedding day. It always feels so special to be on the other side of a wedding as a guest but even more so when you get to do both - freelancing for the most talented florist and beautiful bride, Chloe - aka .in.french was a dream 🏹

As expected Chloe’s vision was spectacular, every stem had been so carefully considered and it was such a joy to help bring it all to life.

Thank you so much for having me .in.french 🤍✨

Hello! We are plotting and planning for next year’s weddings with more delicately wild and whimsy designs. Garden party weddings galore 🌸🥂

All the textures, wisps and wiggly stems in this romantic bridal bouquet over the summer providing inspiration for your upcoming design proposals 🫶🏼✨

To achieve our signature SF style, British grown flowers are essential and we are so excited for more to come, but this means the planning starts now to ensure we have our mitts on the best for you! For full transparency we have imported flowers on two occasions this year. I’m so proud of our journey to sustainability, it’s been a wild ride and so much fun. We have formed some really wonderful relationships with growers all over the country and next year is looking pretty beautiful flowering Cornwall and beyond! 🕊️

Earlier this year we had the absolute pleasure of flowering a private event where Tuscany met Cornwall 🍋

The brief was exactly that - using Cornish flowers and foliage to create designs with trailing tomato vines and lemon leaves inspired by the Italian countryside. Herbs dotted along the table planted in terracotta pots, murano inspired glassware and complementary scents to tie it altogether ✨

We are off to Tuscany in just a few days time so this day is particularly lovely to look back on. As we approach a new month and the flowers start to slow down, I’m reminded of the dream clients and extraordinary ideas we’ve brought to life 🫶🏼💫

A post dedicated to the dress of all dresses and the most beautiful blooms to end the 2024 wedding season 🎀💞

Over the past few months we have brought to life floral dreams and unique visions for some pretty wonderful weddings. Flowering wildly romantic weddings across Cornwall in our signature garden party floral style has been so much fun and I’m excited to do it all again next year, with the flowers taken us even further afield 🫶🏼

Hello! ✨ We’ve had an influx of new followers and it’s been so lovely to see our growth since the start of the year, so I wanted to say a big hello and thank you 🫶🏼🤍🌸

My name is Sophie and I am the founder of Sophie flowers, a floristry business designing with flowers for weddings and events. We are based in Cornwall but like to travel wherever the flowers take us! 🕊️

We love to create romantic, garden-inspired and playful floral designs, embracing our signature style for every event 🏹

This business started as a dream, one I would think about often. I can’t believe this is now the reality working alongside lots of lovely suppliers in the industry, wedding planners, caterers, stylists and lots more! 🤍

When I’m not flowering, you can find me enjoying our little corner of Cornwall, exploring quaint villages, vineyards and long coastal walks with my partner, Alex 🌿

Thank you so much for following along on this wild and flowery journey. I’d love for you to say hello in the comments, how did you find us and what more would you like to see from Sophie flowers? 🫶🏼

It looks to be a day full of sunshine here in Cornwall, perfect for this dress 🌸🤍✨

Romantic, garden inspired table designs have our hearts 🏹

A really lovely design for a sweetheart table at your wedding, just the two of you, nestled within the flowers. From Cornwall to Devon this time, we collaborated with interior designer, to transform this table with flowers and some extra touches to bring it all together.

We enjoy travelling wherever the flowers take us to transform spaces with our romantic, playful style and we can’t wait to share more with you! 🧚✨

It’s been a fun month visiting wedding venues here in Cornwall. Getting excited about creating floral magic in some really amazing locations, from vineyards to lakes, olive groves to private beaches, forts and estates.

Can’t wait to transform these spaces with garden-inspired, romantic and seasonal flowers 🌸🌿

Can you spot any locations? ✨

Peonies stealing the show again 💫

So much love for the coral charm and claire de lune, paired with lots of other lovely ingredients: tanecetum daisies, butterfly ranuncs, apricot snaps and home grown lemon balm which smells incredible 🍋

British flowers showing us that the best can be grown not flown. Seasonal and sustainable floral design is what we care so much about 🌿😌✨

A spring explosion / Happy Mayday 🌸

Celebrating the beginning of May by sharing more snaps of this wonderful flower installation with you.

Apple blossom, ivy and colourful springtime blooms burst from wicker baskets, climbed up and intertwined around the arbour. This was a dream to create, a real springtime treat, and the sun shone all day providing the most gorgeous light.

This installation was also repurposed at the reception, which I’m excited to show you next!

Hope you have a lovely (sunny 🤞🏼) day xx

A love letter to nature on Earth Day 🍃

Thanks to the wonder that is mother nature we are able to transform spaces and create beautiful and captivating floral designs for our couples. Our brand is completely motivated by nature, guided by her seasons, and inspired by the changing landscape of the English countryside.

Here are some ways we consider the planet in our business:

💚 Absolutely no nasty floral foam, ever.

💚 We restrict single use plastic and use components that we can reuse time and time again. For bigger installations this can be chicken wire, moss, reusable cable ties and bespoke made structures. We also repurpose packaging and vessels to secure arrangements.

💚 We source local flowers always. Our relationships with our flower growers is so wonderful and we constantly feel empowered by them. This also encourages us to explore creativity with a variety of different flowers each season.

Here are some ways that are still in the works to achieve a greener business:

✨ We are working with some amazing local charities to give back to our planet, a proportion of profits will soon be donated to them and we are so excited to incorporate this into our business model.

✨ This is our first year of growing our very own flowers, this is an extra special touch I wish to share with couples and allow you to further immerse in and connect with nature.

We a very excited for a green future at Sophie Flowers and hope you are too! 🫶🏼

Pears & pearls (behind the scenes) ✨

I had the pleasure of flowering recently. Seasonal, Cornish grown blooms accompanied effortless styling.

Lots of amazing suppliers all in one place, it was a lovely way to get everyone ready for the forthcoming wedding season. Looking forward to sharing more professional snaps from this shoot with you soon 🏹

A beautiful summer’s day at Birmingham botanical gardens for H + J 🌿

This was my last wedding in the Midlands before settling in Cornwall and what a lovely one it was. Now based in Cornwall, the majority of wedding venues we are flowering are here by the coast, but we dare to dream big when it comes to flowers and love to travel with them ✨

Hope everyone has a wonderful week ahead 🤍 (with a little less rain)

Locally grown ingredients and foraged goodness, with some of my very own double tulips. These went out to a lovely friend and their business. Any guesses from the last pic? 🤭💓

Obsessed with the wiggly stems, I feel it brings so much character to the flowers and is one of the many wonderful reasons why using local, homegrown flowers is always the better option.
