Let's talk what installations will be right for your day?⁠

I cant give you the answer 🤣⁠

But I can once you have your venue, and even more so when we've been on our venue visit! ⁠

When I'm in your venue with you I can get a much better idea of the overall aesthetic and ambience you wish to achieve, and how to make your designs truly yours, and we can identify focal points, and strategic areas where abundant blooms would have the biggest impact. ⁠

Whether it’s cascading installations, statement centrepieces or more delicate accents we’ll use your venue to help us allocate your budget effectively, maximising bang for buck and making sure your flowers leave that lasting impression 😍⁠

A beautiful barn, adorable kids and a happy couple - my heart 😍⁠

The light palette with pops of deep pink used for A & C's wedding was so beautifully captured by 😍⁠

With silk ribbon details on the bouquets, a stunning mantelpiece arrangement, if I say so myself 😅, and even gorgeous little flowergirl headbands the whole aesthetic was a dream!⁠

One of the things I love most about weddings is getting to know my couples 🥰⁠

It sounds cliche, but every couple is truly different - and it's so much fun helping them create the day that's just right for them! Whether big or small, colourful or more plain, party vibes or more chill - it's the best feeling to see their genuine love and joy.⁠

(I also love creating bloody big, beautiful textured bouquets - just like this dreamboat! The way it pops against the lace dress *chefs kiss* 💐)⁠

What do I think makes me a great floral designer?! 🎺⁠

I think, and these are purely my opinions, it's down to me being able to play around with florals so much before having to rely on it as income - I got to really develop my passion in a free, creative way. ⁠

Then the thought of returning to work after maternity leave really lit a fire under me 🤪, and I went all in!⁠

But I think there's also something about a meticulous eye for detail, and not just when it comes to the arrangements - but across the board - making sure your clients feel like the most important people on the planet - because that day they are!⁠

What do you look for in a florist? ⁠

The shift towards sustainability in the luxury wedding industry is not just a trend; it’s a movement that reflects a deeper awareness and responsibility towards our planet, and if that's trendy then get me on the bandwagon 🤣⁠

By incorporating sustainable practices in your joyful day, you can enjoy a luxurious celebration that honors both your love and your commitment to the environment 🌎️⁠

As we look to the future, it’s clear that sustainable weddings are not only possible but are becoming the new standard for luxury - which I am over the moon about!⁠

I've written a bit more about sustainability over on the blog - I'd love for you to give it a read!⁠

For me it's all about ease - you an book your hair appointment through Fresha or a myriad of other tools - why should you need to email me back and forth 😆🤔⁠

There is nothing I hate more than a ridiculously long email chain - Im a processes gal so I make it super easy!⁠

💐 Head to the website and book your consultation⁠
💐 Complete your pre chat questionnaire⁠
💐 If you go ahead - get access to your customer portal and manage everything through there⁠

Easy peasy!⁠

If you are planning on having this much fun at your wedding, please let me come 😂⁠

We get so tied up sometimes in the planning and the prep, the trends and the aesthetic that we can lose sight of the important bit - the most special day to celebrate your love, and have a bloody good time!⁠

I really get to know my couples, and the advice Im always giving ids to really try to be present and enjoy the day - easier said than done, but the worst thing is when it just flies by and you hardly feel like you were there! ⁠

Weddings are known for their grandeur, and magic, but they often come with a hefty environmental cost 😔⁠

Traditional weddings can generate significant waste and carbon footprints, from during planning to discarded invitations, and then on the big day itself with travel, decor and even leftover food. ⁠

I really encourage my couples to try and adopt some sustainable practices, we can't all necessarily do it all, it's not realistic - but we can make a little difference!⁠

Little changes and thoughts can reduce the environmental impact of your special day, and still have the luxurious wedding of your dreams!⁠

I've been chatting about it over on the blog, and my DM's are always open - if you're feeling a bit lost in the world of weddings and sustainability please get in touch, I'd love to help!⁠

But Kelly, I thought it was all about the big installs?! 🤣⁠

TBH, it kinda is - but sometimes to be able to do the big installs, and allocate a good part of your budget to them, we go with smaller arrangements elsewhere. ⁠

It's about zooming out and thinking of the florals as a whole - where's the budget best put for your day, and your venue?⁠

And sometimes your table set up needs smaller arrangements - so you better believe were going to pick the best blooms, and different combinations to look amazing, no matter how small the vase is!⁠

Size always matters when it comes to pulling things together, but that does not mean that biggest is always best...⁠

As our kids grow up, sustainability is becoming a central theme in their lives, much more so than it ever was for us 🌍️⁠

At home, I strive to make eco-friendly choices not only for their future but because they hold me accountable - sometimes annoying but on the whole it's great 🤣⁠

It’s inspiring to see how naturally they embrace sustainable practices, reminding us daily of the importance of protecting our planet. Their enthusiasm and awareness drive me to do better, what drives you to be more sustainable?⁠

Using the space above will always be one of my favourite things to do!⁠

Have you ever walked about a city and realised how much beautiful detail is hidden up at the top of buildings? ⁠

It's often an underutilised space when thinking about wedding decor but can have such a huge impact, and really help to set the emotions, feel and smell of your venue 😍⁠

I've been chatting about sustainbaility again over on the blog - I'm like a broken record but it's really importnat to me 🌎️⁠

As part of this blog post I've given you some suggestions on sustainable venues, like one of my favourites .⁠

Wedderlie House is a stunning venue in the Scottish Borders that prides itself on sustainability. This venue incorporates eco-friendly practices such as using renewable energy sources, implementing water conservation methods, and promoting recycling and waste reduction. Their approach helps you to plan a wedding with a reduced environmental impact, while not compromising on a luxurious setting 😍⁠

Definitely one to consider when planning your Scottish Borders wedding 💒⁠

How is everyone surviving the summer hols?! 🤪⁠

Definitely feels miles off the serenity, peace and calm of setting up this gorgeous space 😆⁠

Sometimes I question my sanity of setting up a business that is undoubtedly the busiest in the summer months, when I also have to do the holiday juggle - but I still wouldn't trade it for the world 🥰⁠

Making an impact in a marquee 🎪⁠

Summer brings around all of the marquee weddings - they're such a great option for hosting a bigger wedding breakfast and reception, or allowing you a wider choice of venues, or perhaps it's the opportunity to eb outdoors that takes your fancy! Either way they provide a great blank canvas...⁠

But it is very blank! 😬⁠

So we need to use your budget well to fill the space and create some impact! These tall centrepiece stands are one of my favourite ways to do it - they allow for much larger table florals than you could have any lower, and their height also means they act as marquee decor as well as table decor 💐⁠

How would you add impact to a marquee?⁠

Is sustainability important to you in your wedding plans? 🤔⁠

In a time where environmental consciousness is becoming increasingly prevalent, and frankly needed, I strongly believe the luxury wedding industry has some stepping up to do!⁠

For H & A it was an important factor in their floral choices, and we used an abundance of locally grown florals to reduce the environment impact of their special day. ⁠

There's so many other ways we can keep sustainability in mind when creating such as using plants instead of flowers, using tree rentals and being conscious on the mechanics and packaging of installs and arrangements. Its always at the forefront of my mind 🌍️⁠

I've written a bit more about sustainability over on the blog, including some great choices for more eco friendly venues; give it a read 📒⁠

What's the best thing about working with me? 😜⁠

Apart from the beautiful flowers I will guarantee you with for your special day, I would also say the thing I'm most proud of is my client experience - I won an award for it you know 😅⁠

When building the business I knew making it easy for you was one of my main goals, so I created bespoke Wildflower & Willow client portals to streamline communications and processes and keep everything in one place - we’ve all scrambled about looking for that lost email, none of that here!⁠

The automated processes bring simplicity, and take the stress away by ensuring I don't have to ask you to make more and more decisions when you already have millions to make, or WhatsApp you to consider details that you don’t really need or want to worry about. I am all about a one-click process as much as possible!⁠

What do you look for in a wedding supplier - are processes important to you?⁠

Did you know approximately 10,000 couples travel to Scotland each year to get married 😳 ✈️⁠

With our picturesque landscapes, historic venues, traditions and romantic settings who can blame them!⁠

If you, or someone you know, is coming to Scotland to get married because of the culture and the traditions, pick vendors and a venue that assures you it’s important to them too, and then they can help you choose what to include 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⁠

I would also always recommend choosing a venue that has experience of destination weddings, and ideally a venue that has it all - accommodation, a dedicated wedding coordinator and even other perks for guests to put your mind at ease. Ask what their experience of dealing with destination weddings is, and who on the ground will be helping out with logistics and planning - and if this is included in your package. ⁠

I want your destination wedding to Scotland to be perfect so I've rounded up all my tips on the blog, go and check it out!⁠

Sometimes the alter doesn't need flowers - especially if it has a bloody massive tree like this one 😆⁠

I mean that's enough oomph on its own!⁠

We will never use your budget for flowers that aren't needed - they would have been a waste here, and we could use the budget better focussing elsewhere throughout the wedding day.⁠

We did pop some small meadow arrangements by the guest seats to bring the decor of the day into the ceremony, but there was no way I was competing with that tree 😂⁠

There is nothing you want more than to look through your wedding album and see all the captured smiles 🥰⁠

(Even better when they're framed by killer florals 😉)⁠

Some of my favourite wedding pics are those of my family and friends just having the BEST time - knowing they were not only there supporting us and our love, but also that they got to have fun doing it, and hopefully creating their own memories 😍⁠

I cannot believe I used to do flowers for fun, doing events for family and friends and enjoying evenings pottering, and now I get to be involved with shoots like this one 🥰⁠

I love being able to show my girls that they can grow up and do anything they want in life - you just need to have the passion and the drive to do it 😍 ⁠

Planning any wedding is a monumental task - but planning a destination wedding makes everything 10x trickier 🫢⁠

What helps?⁠

Choose vendors that know your area and chosen venue REALLY well. ⁠

If you can’t make it to venue visits, or to see other suppliers, you can lean on their knowledge of the local wedding market to help, and knowing their knowledge of your venue means everything is going to integrate just right 😍⁠

I know finding the right wedding vendors is a very personal choice, but try not to pick anyone who hasn't already worked with your venue - you want the piece of mind to know that while you may not have been there before to think about the space - they have, and they know what they're talking about 🙂⁠

Even better choose suppliers you know have worked together before - creating your own wedding support network. Believe me it will make the whole thing SO much easier - and if you don't know where to start - start with me - I know the wedding market here very well, and I love to help plan your dream destination wedding ✈️⁠

I'm also talking about destination weddings over on the blog this month, I'd love it if you'd take a read!⁠

Some top tips for destination wedding planning ✈️⁠

There's more on the blog for you to check out, but this one's a biggie...⁠

Timezones ⏲️⁠

If your wedding is in a different timezone it is really key to choose vendors that don’t rely on the good old phonecall, amazingly some people still do!⁠

Ask your vendors what their processes and systems are to ensure that they are happy with a WhatsApp, a zoom, an email or ideally have things like Client Portals set up to allow you to communicate effectively and easily no matter who’s awake or asleep 🛌⁠

Believe me, running around trying to get in touch with Pepe is not worth your time!⁠

Altar Installations 🥰⁠

It's the spot where the rest of your forever begins - you better believe were going to add some beauty and drama 🙌⁠

And these tall standing installs did both - organic in shape, abundant with greenery and beautiful blooms - making the perfect frame for the 'I do' moment, and a killer photo spot for after 📸⁠

It's all about getting it right for your venue 😍⁠

Our venue visit together is key - by walking through the space together, we can visualise how each area can be decorated and dressed with gorgeous flowers. Whether we’re creating a grand entrance, a feature in the reception space or creating impact in the ceremony space discussing your vision, and mine, together in the context of your venue allows us to tailor the designs to suit the space and the vibe perfectly. No cookie cutter arrangements here!⁠

This stunning wedding breakfast room at needed some big impact arrangements - sometime you think a grand room only needs some little accents, but often it's the exact opposite!⁠

I've written more about venue visits over on the blog, go and give it a read!⁠
