Wedding flowers add so much beauty to your special day—now, what comes next? 💐 Many couples wonder how to make the most of their blooms after the celebration.

Here are a few heartfelt and eco-friendly ideas:

✨ Repurpose: Donate your flowers to venue staff members or care homes to brighten someone else’s day.
✨ Preserve: Dry or press your blooms to create cherished keepsakes.
✨ Compost: If you must part with them, composting is a sustainable way to return their beauty to the earth.
✨ Share the love: Send arrangements home with your guests or loved ones as a sweet reminder of your special day.

We are more than happy to design your arrangements in your chosen vessels, making it easy for them to be gifted after the celebration. You can even add a little note to each place setting to let the lucky recipient know they can take the arrangement home with them—it’s such a thoughtful touch!

Your flowers don’t have to stop spreading joy when the wedding ends! 🌿 Share this tip with a a couple getting married.

Planning to repurpose your wedding flowers? Here’s why moving them yourself might be trickier than you think - and how we can help!

Repurposing flowers is a great way to get the most out of your blooms, but moving them from one location to another is not always as simple as it sounds. Here’s why:

✨ Timing is everything: Flowers often need to be moved quickly between the ceremony and reception and coordinating this during a busy day can add unnecessary stress.

✨ Delicate handling: fresh flower designs can be fragile. Moving them without proper care could cause damage or affect their appearance.

✨ Guest experience: Shifting flowers during the event can disrupt the flow or make tables and venue look incomplete as guests arrive.

That’s where we come in! With our onsite services, we take care of all the logistics, ensuring your flowers look stunning in every location without you lifting a finger. From setup to seamless transitions, we’re here to make your day stress-free. 🌿

Thinking of repurposing your flowers? Let’s chat about how we can handle the details for you!

Incorporate meaningful touches into your bridal bouquet, from a St. Christopher charm for protection and guidance on your new journey together to tailored offcuts from your dress, your ‘something blue’ with delicate ribbon or a cherished photo of a loved one.

Over the years, we’ve had the honor of including so many gorgeous keepsakes— including an embroidered tie from a bride’s late grandfather and ivory pearls from a treasured family heirloom. We will happily attached any keepsake to your bridal flowers on the morning of your wedding.

These thoughtful details make your flowers a beautiful reflection of your story.

MOMENTS before the aisle....the bridal bouquet serves as the final, finishing touch that ties everything together.

Soft blush pink and white roses, delicate wax flower, blousy lisianthus and hints of eucalyptus greenery complete Becky’s timeless bridal look.

We’ve discovered the latest wedding trend that’s stealing our hearts - incorporating your beloved pups into the big day! 🐾

Gone are the days of excluding your furry friends from the wedding party.

In fact, we’re seeing more and more couples finding adorable ways to make their pets a special part of the celebration.

Take this pup, for example. Not only did we add a custom floral collar complete with an “I do too” engraving, but we made sure their look perfectly complemented the wedding party’s overall aesthetic.

After all, your wedding flowers should celebrate every important member of your crew - two-legged or four-legged!

Whether you want to have your dog walk down the aisle, serve as your ring bearer, or simply make a fabulous photo op, we’re here to make it happen.

We will work with you to create one-of-a-kind details that showcase your pet’s personality while tying into your wedding vision.

Bring your best friend along to your big day and let us make them the star of the show (with flowers, of course 🌺).

Ellis & Rory had a wonderful day recently 🤍

I am a recommend supplier at Crockwell Farm and always enjoy flowering weddings at such a stunning venue. But, when you receive reviews like this, it makes it even more amazing!

“Claire is the florist that every bride needs.

From my very first call with Claire, I was over the moon that we’d managed to secure her as our wedding florist - she was warm and bubbly, super knowledgeable and incredibly accommodating. She knew our venue (Crockwell Farm) really well so she was able to make suggestions that I would never have even thought of and she was able to look at my chaotic Pinterest board and work out what I was after.

Every time someone from the venue asked who our florist was, their eyes lit up when we told them it was Claire. They knew that she could be left to just crack on and that only added to the calmness that Claire brings.
On the day before and day of the wedding, she was like a dream.
She explained exactly what she was doing and when, had a huge smile on her face and gave me complete confidence that everything was in hand.

The flowers were absolutely beautiful and we had so many compliments about them.

I can’t recommend Claire enough (I almost want to get married again so I can work with her all over again!). Thank you so much Claire”

Thank you Ellis & Rory, huge congratulations to you both

What a beautiful testimonial 🌿

We met Claire at our wedding venue Crockwell Farm and from the beginning she was so helpful and friendly. She understood exactly what we wanted and she worked with us to ensure that we got this within our budget. Her arrangements are just beautiful and I was even more happy with my bouquet in person on the day! The wisteria from the hanging light in the entrance was stunning and we got a lot of comments on it! Thank you Claire 🤍

When you not only receive a testimonial from the bride and groom, but the mother of the bride also wants to say thank you 👇🏼

“I hope you are keeping well, no doubt extremely busy with the wedding season in full flow.
Although Sophie has left a glowing review for you, I too wanted to get in touch to express my thanks.”

More of this touching review can you be found on this post, I was touched that Hayley took the time to write too. What a privilege to receive such beautiful words.

Being a member of the Sustainable Wedding Alliance is hugely important to me.

Hibiscus Floral Design is deeply rooted in a love for nature and the world around us 🌿

We are dedicated supporting English flower farmers and responsibly resourcing our products with our supplier partners.

We are continuously striving to minimise our carbon footprint through ongoing learning and sustainable practices

🌺I’ve recently read this from the sustainable wedding alliance - it’s amazing!
Have a read 👇🏼

“Earlier this Summer, British Flower Industry data from 2023 was updated by DEFRA... and it was good news for British growers, florists wanting to work more with British flowers, and the sustainable weddings movement!

🌸In 2023, the value of stems grown and sold in the UK increased from 2022

 💐British production was calculated at £179million, up from £165million in 2022

🌻Fewer stems (by value) were imported and exported in 2023 too - Imports were £761.8 million, down from £869.1 Million in 2022!

This means that as a proportion of the total stems sold in the UK last year, more were British than in previous years. In fact the proportion of British flowers has been increasing now for over 5 years. It’s still the minority of what’s sold in the UK but UK growers are consistently gaining market share”.

🌿I’m so proud to be a part of the SWA, something that is so important to me 🌿
