Hands up all the procrastinators! 🙋♀️🫣
This kind of floristry is creative, it is more difficult. Every arrangement is slightly different or unique if you prefer. Placing each flower to best show it's features. Following the curves of the stem, the face of the flower and balancing space, light and tone within the design to draw your eye through it.
If something more elegant and artistic is what you are looking for in your wedding flowers then do get in touch. We are booking the last few dates for 2024 and our diary is open for 2025. We cannot wait to hear your ideas and bring your vision to life.

This week someone complimented me on my creative vision.
I almost couldn't believe it. After years, maybe even decades, of being told I wasn't creative and that anything artistic I tried to do wasn't much good it is the strangest feeling. It is so very joyful, yet so unusual and it shouldn't be unusual. What a contradiction!
Thank you to all the uplifting and creative people in this wedding supplier world that continue to support and inspire me. This joy is also yours and it is beautiful.

"EVERYONE commented on how showstopping the flowers were"
We loved creating your flowers Ottilie and how open you were to unusual ingredients. Thank you for choosing us 😊
"I’m so happy I found Fran at Limewood Flowers, she was brilliant to work with in the run up to the wedding and on the day, and EVERYONE commented on how showstopping the flowers were. I went for peach and warm autumnal tones, and the bouquets were stunning, mine even featured tiny crab apples. Fran also built a loose flower arch over a garden gate and that was our hero picture moment, and the foliage-dressed beams in the barn were gorgeous. She had loads of ideas and was super creative, and loved the eco aspect, highly recommend."

A last snippet from a wedding of dreams last year working for Liz @blueskyflowers.
The setting, the flower choices, the colours; it was so beautiful and an absolute pleasure to work on. The generosity of Liz in supporting other florists cannot be overstated.
Thanks for making freelancer dreams come true as well as the dreams of your couples Liz x

Transforming spaces. Floristry is not just about bouquets, it is not even about flowers per se. It is about a feeling.
That feeling when a loved one buys you flowers - imagine it a hundred fold when you wedding venue is transformed into a tropical oasis.
Garlands reminding of you of holidays abroad and tall rich green plants bringing a jungle vibe.
This is high impact florals and this incredible vision was Jen's for her couple last spring. I was one of the many freelancers fortunate enough to play a small role in bringing it to life.
Thank you so much for including me on your team Jen 🥰

That last look at the entire wedding setup while brushing up the last leaf is always a favourite of mine.
Seeing the transformation, all of the work of all of the suppliers coming together to realise a dream.
It really is the best job ever. Forever grateful to Liz for having me on her team and taking me to all the best venues @syonparkevents

Summer wedding inspiration on this grey day. Flower clouds, floral arches, meadow aisles and rows upon rows of table bowls for one of the hottest days of last year
Which of these arrangements will you choose for your day, or is it all of them!?
Thank to you Liz for including me on her fab team @offleyplace in June
Merry Christmas to all of you that celebrate the season.
I am spending the day with loved ones, in a warm home with enough food to spare. It will be a day of joy and probably squabbles over the washing up.
There are so many others without this. The world seems to have become even more full of war and horror in the last year. I will work harder to highlight injustice while trying to bring as much floral joy as I can to you all.
With love from Limewood Flowers this Christmas
"We trust you"
When the couple loves our work enough to give us creative freedom. The freedom to create something that is uniquely them using the best available seasonal flowers in the theme and colour palette.
These are always the best designs. Thank you L and L.

The flowers for this wedding were a mix of imported and locally grown blooms as I was not able to source all the flowers needed British grown. #nofloralfoam was used and the only single use plastic was some tape and cable ties. Definitely much more of an #ecowedding than the industry standard, but still working to improve.
Festive finally
A morning spent in the studio coaxing a little life back into festive feelings after Friday's website 'incident'.
Christmassy tunes and a whole pile of foraged, entirely natural ingredients became this. Naturally the photography took longer than creating it and now I just need to find a door to hang it on.
Apparently, my festiveness got a little over excited and this one is far too big too fit our door 🤷♀️

Floral design
Our floral style is refined, creative and naturalistic. Inspired by the beauty of nature we use unusual floral ingredients, often mixing fresh and dried flowers and scour our suppliers for that ‘something’ that we don’t even know the name of but absolutely completes the vision you have described.
The result is artful, romantic and even feminine in style yet entirely extraordinary in impact.

The flowers for this photoshoot were a mix of 30% imported and 70% locally grown blooms and foliage as the cold snap meant I was not able to source all the flowers needed British grown. #nofloralfoam was used and the only single use plastic was some tape. Definitely much more of an #ecowedding than the industry standard, but still working to improve.
Created as if by magic on your wedding morning.
As we listened to laughter (and some very interesting music choices) from the girls getting ready this floral staircase came to life.
These parts of the day are very special. The months of planning all coming together to create a day that is uniquely you without you lifting a finger.
Enjoy your moment, take the time with your family and friends. The flowers will be waiting to greet you when you are ready.
All British grown, no floral foam and full of the scent of peonies, sweet peas, apple mint and rosemary.

Artful florals inspired by the beauty of nature.
Muted oranges and peaches with autumn grasses and just a touch of blue for contrast. Probably my favourite church flowers of the year and designed to suit all the tones of this tiny historic church.

Made with just as much love and attention and full of scented narcissus all the way from Cornwall and Devon. Opening the boxes in the studio when the flowers arrived was an absolute joy.

The flowers for this wedding were a mix of around 50% imported and 50% locally grown blooms as I was not able to source all the flowers needed British grown due to the cold weather in March. #nofloralfoam was used and the only single use plastic was some tape and zip ties. Definitely much more of an #ecowedding than the industry standard, but still working to improve.

Keeping you warm on this cold day with memories of this delicate June bouquet for J and S.
The first peony with the last of the forget me nots and filled with scented sweet peas, dancing corncockle and fresh green fern fronds.
All locally grown which means it is very eco-friendly - less than one tenth of the carbon footprint of imported flowers. Yet imported flowers make up 90% of flower sales in England and Wales* 🤯
Choose locally grown, eco-friendly and at the same time you are supporting multiple small specialist businesses.
*based on available data, which is admittedly very limited
Summer weddings have their pick of the flowers and if you would like your pick of the florists now is the perfect time to get in touch.
Check your date and book in for a complimentary consultation to talk about about your plans. Most summer dates will be booked by Christmas so now is the time to enquire.

It is no real secret to most people that know me that I am not a fan of an early start. Yet, on wedding setups I am out of bed and in my van raring to get going.
This is how much I adore creating wedding flowers, how inspired I am to work in beautiful venues and how much I want you to love your flowers.
If you know someone getting married please send them this so they know how excited their suppliers should be to create their day.
