𝔸𝕦𝕥𝕦𝕞𝕟 🍁

The season for crisp welly walks, cosy knits, hazelnut lattes and pumpkin carving 🍂🌰

We added our autumnal wreath to the website a few days ago and have loved putting orders together using both dried and faux florals for texture, colour and longevity 🧡

Each wreath is made to order, why not treat yourself! 🍄🍂

Dried and preserved flowers have become more and more popular this year, being either incorporated or solely used within weddings 🍂

If you're thinking of dried flowers for your upcoming event, pop us a message! 💬

June 1st saw us battling the wind in Yarmouth as we set up for K & T's ceremony at the Towers, before transporting the arch to be enjoyed at their reception venue, Kings Hill (if you haven't looked at these spots for potential venues, you really must, the views were just 😍⛵)
Here, we added elegant bud vases to complete their table decor 🌿 The colours were so fresh, and all the little extras made it so personal, our Island has such talented individuals! We can't wait to see how has captured their day!

These vibes! 🪩

We worked alongside M & J to bring their floral visions to life at the beautiful East Afton Farmhouse

Gypsophila filled the room through hanging installations, table florals, garlands and an arch backdrop. We initially used the backdrop for the ceremony, then repositioned it for their reception to get the most out of the display ✨

Wed and Prosper UK filled/ styled the room with disco balls and beautiful name tags from Chloé Alexandra Studios and of course the grooms love of football made its debut 🤭

The Cakesmith was in charge of their yummy wedding cake, along with delicious brownies and personalised island sugar cookies 🥂

Megan wore a stunning dress from 1840 Bridal and her bouquet consisted of seasonal claret and pink florals (changing it up slightly from the gypsophila)

The whole day was captured beautifully by Jesslyonphotography (check out a few images of the day on her page!)

Lastly, a big thank you to Sam at Little Paddocks Flowers for helping me create and fix the gyp clouds! 🤍
