The Quirky Petal

Everything Easter, in a bouquet.

The last of my fancy daffs signalled the start of the bluebells and lilac coming into flower.

And whilst every flower has it's moment, it's really pretty special when they all bloom together.

Choosing your floral decor for your guest tables can depend on several factors. The two main considerations are the shape and size of the tables, plus the type of wedding breakfast you will be served.

Beautifully styled tables can include many decor elements, plus once you add in place settings, glassware, wine and water bottles, and if you have chosen sharing boards, your tables can become quite busy.

Some floral arrangements lend themselves perfectly to be multi-purposeful, starting their wedding journey as aisle flowers and then making their way to becoming table flowers, saving you from doubling up on those floral arrangements and most importantly, saving you £'s.

It might be today, but the only thing blue here are the flowers. Emma & Simon were certainly unafraid of a little bit of mizzle and were even papped having a quick snog in the iconic Land Rover before heading out into the wilds.

Embracing your day to create those unforgettable moments.

♡ BUTTONHOLES ♡

It's one of my all-time favourite arrangements to make, the buttonhole, and because of this, I often leave the buttonhole making until the very last job.

After buzzing around making meadows, table arrangements, bouquets etc etc, there's nothing more enjoyable than sitting in my den with a steaming brew, my pot of wires and the huge amount of flowers that I always seem to amass!

Think - kid in a sweetshop!!

I do actually begin the flower selection process for buttonholes at the very start, picking out the specific stems that are perfect for wire work, like that tiny rose bud or almost opening orchid or teeny tulip, and then as the rest of the creative process gets underway, I invariably end up with an absolute abundance of short stemmed offerings because I simply cannot - throw - anything - away!

It's this abundance of choice from all this floral treasure that allows me to fully immerse myself in creating buttonholes. These wired, delicate little bouquets that fit snuggly onto a suit lapel are just pure joy.

It's always truly amazing when I receive kind words thanking me for the flowers. Whether it's a DM, a card, or a review, it's genuinely very, very much appreciated.

That said, just like the saying, 'it takes a village to raise a child', it takes a small army of dedicated and talented wedding suppliers to create and achieve your wedding day vision.

From the blowdryers to the lipstick appliers, to the flower fettlers and the music makers, the cake bakers and party places, we all play our part.

But the biggest thanks invariably has to go to the picture snappers!

Not only are they the ones who capture your day, and all the amazing bits and bobs that all the other suppliers do, they then kindly share their beautiful images too - this means I get to see your wedding day, all the bits I wouldn't usually see, and that is such an honour and a privilege.

Three cheers for all the really generous wedding photographers out there for sharing their content, hip hip...

Do all bouquets look good from all angles?

Mine do, as proved when she captured so many delicious images of Ashleigh's bridal bouquet and her lovely bridesmaids posies.

Front, back, side, top - yep, I got a good thing going on!

Your bridal bouquet is potentially one of the most photographed floral arrangements on your big day, so it has to be on point, it has to be your vibe.

Therefore, I select only the highest quality flowers in your chosen colour palette, but I add in the extra surprises you weren't expecting to elevate your bouquet to the next level...and, all my bridal bouquets are always finished with the most sumptuous, floatiest, hand dyed silk ribbons from
