2025 couples this your year! We have a few remaining spots for this year and our diary is open for 2026.

If you're looking for garden inspired, seasonal & natural style wedding flowers then get in touch. We work with your colour palette and chosen style using the very best of locally and British grown flowers. This isn't limiting or restrictive in creating your florals - instead it's an opportunity for choosing the very best seasonally available in the week of your wedding - all the extra special treasures grown by our flower farming friends. Many stems travelling less than 20 miles, cut 3 days before your wedding date, handled with the utmost care and providing a picture perfect representation of the date and time of your wedding.

As we wrap up 2024, I’ve been looking back at the many moments and flowers that have made this year so special. Choosing just a few highlights for this post? Almost impossible! Each stem, bouquet and arrangement has been a joy to create, and every petal has a story.

To my wonderful 2024 wedding couples—thank you for trusting me to be part of your magical days.

To the venues, suppliers / photographers I’ve worked alongside—what a privilege it’s been to collaborate with such talented and inspiring people.

And to you, my amazing customers, old and new—your support means the world. Every purchase helps me keep doing what I love.

Looking back to this beautiful sunshiney day in August. Laura and George married at with a gorgeous colour palette of pastel brights.
The weather was predicted to be wild and rainy, but during the morning, it cleared, and the sun popped out just in time for the ceremony under the ribbon decorated arbour in the gardens. Lots of personal touches were added by the couple around the venue, including the use of our diy flowers for table vases, potted perennial plants to line the aisle, and lots of lovely photos of happy memories.

Laura and George's flowers were 100% Devon grown - thankyou as ever ❤️

Season's end.....
Final fresh flower delivery of 2024.
You might ask why / how can you stop delivering flowers from mid October - mid February?

In answer: To run this business sustainably is more than thinking about the 'green' credentials aspect of our work. Choosing to run a British flower, seasonally guided floristry business means we're dictated to by the weather and its impact on availability and choice of flowers.
I could continue to offer flowers through the autumn & winter but this would involve for the most part purchasing flowers each week from our brilliant British wholesalers - but is not economically sustainable for my small business. Relying on a limited supply / choice and unknown demand from customers during this period is an unsustainable model for me and my business.

So I choose instead to focus on offering dried flowers & gifts during this period, Christmas wreaths & planters, planning for next year, preparing flower beds, sowing, planting, undertaking training, updating my website, processes and admin.

I'm still here working behind the scenes trying to make each year better than the last, growing more beautiful flowers, growing relationships and connections within this small business world, growing better in my skills & processes, growing this small business year on year but in a way that fits me and my family, personality and needs. That is the greater meaning of sustainability for me.

I have plans for exciting things next year and am also looking forward to celebrating the build up to Christmas with my lovely workshop regulars & newbies alike. I'll also be updating the website with gift offerings over the coming weeks as well festive favourites for you. I'll also be popping up with Christmas goodness at Grace & Favour during December.

Thank you for supplying the best of the best flowers together with and

Happy 3rd wedding anniversary Phoebe & Andrew!

They had a perfect little Autumn wedding Yurtcamp

We provided a petite Bridal bouquet, buttonholes, a DIY bucket of flowers and vase arrangements for the reception. The only request was for a bit of yellow and for arrangements to be seasonal & wild looking.

Congratulations Helen & Stuart married on Saturday at Upton Barn & Walled Garden - using a pallete of all the pinks with some pops of burgundy and red.

All Devon & Cornwall grown flowers and foliage were used for a broken arch arrangement in the ceremony space, aisle markers and a ceremony table arrangement. As well as bride's bouquet, bridesmaids, buttonholes, hair flowers and bud vases along the tables.

It was a beautiful September day and Helen looked absolutely stunning. I can't wait to see more of the official photographs by Ivyhouse Photography - as my pictures don't do the space or flowers justice in combination with the direct lighting!
