Elegant, contemporary , effortless bridal party flowers ! Leanne wanted a statement bouquet and I hope the bouncy, frilly, just gathered and highly scented luxe flowers made the impact she hoped for!

How fresh and crisp these boutonnières look! Delicate bundles of flowers for the gentlemen, the perfect complement for the occasion!

One last check before it got wrapped in beautiful hand dyed sillk!

Beautiful, luxurious bridal bouquets require beautiful, premium flowers. And these, my lovelies, come at a cost.

Like everything in life ,you get what you payed for , wedding flowers make no exception.

A cheap floral artist will not produce exceptional pieces and a good floral artist is not cheap . That’s all 😊.

Wild little table meadow at golden hour !

Been very quiet here lately and took the time to think a little about where I want to take this little venture in the future 🤔. Of course any business owner , big or small, wants to be successful , to get the big clients etc . For me, the journey and the methods used to deliver the end product is all that counts, therefore I will continue to work with the best, seasonal whenever possible, floral materials in a sustainable, ethical way. So, no , will never use floral foam due to its toxic nature. Alternatively, reusable mechanics , water and sometimes moss, despite being more labour intensive and tricky to transport is the only way gb_floral_design will continue to use. The floral design market is big enough for all kinds of businesses and those looking for ‘The One ‘that will best deliver the brief on the ‘Big Day ‘ have the opportunity to decide based on their own preferences and beliefs! 🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿( pictures of mechanics for a lush, garden style floral arch , all these can be reused over and over )

Patiently waiting their turn on the window sill of a 1850 castle alongside a beautiful V.W.gown! Still can’t get over how beautiful they turned out, the most delicious and fragrant sweet peas, ruffles for days from premium roses and ranunculus.

Monocromatic with the faintest touch of blush, our take on white florals!

Spring in a box! Classic and elegant , gorgeous white Clooney Ranunculus , Majolica Rose , preserved Ruscus and silk ribbon .

There isn’t much in the garden yet, a few Hellebores, Pieris, Snake head fritillaries and the last of the Muscari - enough though to brighten up this grey , cold day , and bring a glimmer of hope for warmer, spring days.

To create your own little gathering of spring all you need is a bowl, a floral pin frog ( there are some really cheap ones available to order online) and a few spring flowers. Et voila, pretty floral arrangement for your table!

The face behind the flowers!
I’ve had a few new followers here lately and I thought of doing a very short introduction post( I don’t like posting pics of my face much🙈) for those who don’t know me!
I’m Gabriela, the brains and hands behind gb_floral_design.
I’ve always loved flowers , nature and the creative opportunities that they provide. A full time ICU nurse by day and serendipitously floral artist , there is nothing more to soothe my soul and fulfil my creativity than designing with flowers. Originally from rural Transylvania , living in a small welsh village in North Wales for the last almost twenty years, I first came across floral arranging accidentally by helping a very dear friend make Christmas wreaths . Since then my passion and interest for floral design developed and fully embraced the sustainable, ethical and low carbon style side of the industry. Classical music has always played a major part in my life and you will come across my favourite pieces here as well as contemporary music styles. So, welcome to all new followers and hello to old friends! X

Boutonnières , these small bundles of floral material are most times tricky to get right despite their petite appearance!

Whatever your colour scheme and palette choice we will always find ways to produce wedding florals cohesively and as agreed during our consultation prior to your big day! To find out available dates for 2024 please get in touch x

It’s the little details that make the difference between lovely and fabulous and that’s what you get every time with .

There is nothing more satisfying than stumbling across a beautiful, bright photograph on a wet, cold and grey winter day ! Sunny days should not be long now!

Had a few enquiries lately about wedding flowers budgets and in all honesty my advice would always be : it’s entirely up to you how much you allow for from your wedding budget! A quick online search will tell you that you should allow 10-15% , but the best advice will come from your florist, be open and honest and together you will find a way to make it work for you ! From decorating the mantle, the tables , welcoming guests or finishing off your bridal dress, flowers should always complement and enhance, never compete ! Bookings open now for 2024-2025, discretionary NHS discounts still available x
