Megan and Lloyd’s neutral designs were the perfect choice for their venue, so rich in colour 🤍 Less is often more in floral design and working with neutrals allows the shapes and textures of the flowers to really shine through 🌿

Dreamy designs for Zöe and Nick’s special day at featuring our favourite ! Zöe’s monochromatic pink bridal bouquet stood out against the light blue and cream florals worn by the rest of the bridal party. We brought all of these colours together in their venue designs, including our urn and pedestal arrangements, meadows, signing table piece, and jam jars 💘

We stayed on site and moved all of the ceremony designs to the wedding breakfast barn 🥂

If you disappeared from your own wedding day for an hour, would your guests still know whose wedding they’re at? Strange question, I know, but it gets you thinking. This is why it’s so important to add your personality to your special day, and if you love colour, make sure to use it!

Buttonholes are often the final design to be made for a wedding day, but certainly not the least important! Bright buttonholes can really pop on a darker-coloured suit 🎉

If you’re booked in for 2025 or 2026, visit the link in the comments to learn how to attach your buttonhole ahead of your special day, because the wedding morning isn’t the time to learn (although it does make for great photos!)

Designs with locally-grown flowers and movement are always a winner!

For Emily & Ryan’s special day back in April they requested Peonies, Gypsophila, Chamomile (Daisies) and Eucalyptus. I added Astilbe into their recipe to add some interest and cream Spray Roses to soften the yellow in the daisies.

Sometimes couples come to me with a clear vision of what they would like and some have no clue where to start, both are absolutely fine! I love consultations, just imagine someone taking time out of their day to come to talk to you about your passion. Just as I wouldn’t know how to do your job, don’t worry I don’t expect anyone to know their Lisianthus or Limonium 🌸

Any questions my DM’s are always open 💗
