I feel so lucky and privileged to do the job that I do and the couples that I flower for are hands down the best most loveliest people you’ll find. Josh and Willow were no exception to this, in fact it makes me smile to even think about them and their day!

Their wedding was on my birthday and there wasn’t a nicer way to celebrate than putting together beautiful flowers for a lovely couple. I can remember it being a lovely warm day and totally enjoying it. When I arrived at Pennard I was wished Happy Birthday and given some bubbly and chocolates from them because like I said, my couples are the best!

The colour palette was soft pastel Pinks and Whites which always look so pretty alongside a silvery Grey foliage all arranged in a romantic flowing way in a natural garden inspired style.

Planning and budget

Blousy ‘Quicksand’ Roses were mixed with Butterfly Ranunculus. Stocks and Sweet Peas were added for fragrance. Astilbe and Erica were added for a fluffy texture.

The stairs were decorated in two sections. The bottom as I often do to create a warm welcome but we also decorated the middle landing on the opposite side to carry the flowers up the stairs.

There was an arrangement used for the ceremony table which was then moved infront of the sweetheart table along with two pedestals which were moved to the coach house entrance doors.

Requirements included bouquets, buttonholes, hair flowers, the ceremony, the stairs, tables and a little foliage on the beams.

Budget needed approx. £1500 (prices as of 2022)

1,700 days and a baby in the making of Laura and Xander’s wedding! Admittedly, this was a pandemic wedding but their welcome sign was one that will stay in my heart and memory for a long time

‘ WE HAVE WAITED 1,700 DAYS FOR THIS……PARTY ACCORDINGLY’

It was also a mentally windy day, like proper gale force winds that were so strong the pedestal wouldn’t stay up! That didn’t stop Laura and Xander having an amazing time though and I couldn’t have wished for anything more for them. I still can’t believe how stunning Laura looked only a few months after having a baby either!


Planning and Budget

Lots of varied Greens with Whites will always look perfect! Roses and Paperwhites smelt divine along with Ranunculus and Astrantia. Delphiniums and Larkspur gave the height where needed.

Ivy trails decorated and softened the White marquee with 3 hanging chandeliers and a long hanging plank above the top table.

Requirements included bouquets, buttonholes, ceremony flowers, 10 tables and marquee installations

Budget needed approx. £3000 - £3500 (prices as of 2022)

Wow this was a hot day in August, but wow what a lovely wedding for a such a wonderful couple!

The colours looked so delicious against the emerald Green dresses and I loved them on the wooden trestle tables too.

Talia and Alex married under the glorious shade of the enormous Lime tree at Hamswell House under a birch Chuppah that we decorated with twisting foliages and how glorious do the pops of Peachy Orange look?

Believe me when I say it was an incredibly hot day but Amy has done an amazing job of capturing the Summery feel of the day without the sweat!

Hats off to Caroline from The Planning Lounge for not only making sure the day went smoothly but also for thinking of those little extras like making sure we had water and supplying emergency suncream.

Planning and budget

Lots of full petalled peachy coloured Roses with a heady scent sat along side seasonal August Dahlia’s in tones from Apricot to pale Orange.

Requirements included bouquets, buttonholes, ceremony flowers for the aisle and chuppah, tables for 150 people and marquee hanging installation.

Budget needed approx £2500 - £3000 (prices as of 2022)

Querine and Hectors wedding was the most glorious combination bringing together dainty wildflowers and the feeling of being in the English countryside. Querine had a very clear picture in her mind of how she wanted their wedding day to look and feel from the beginning and told me how important flowers are to her and her family.

Different feelings flowed through the day with bouquets and buttonholes full of pretty dainty wildflowers, the table flowers full of colour and the Church and marquee full of countryside foliages all filled with love and care.

Planning and budget

Flowers like Phlox, Scabious, Ammi, pom pom Dahlia, Clematis and forget me nots provided the dainty ethereal feel whilst a massive amount of mixed foliages in the Church and marquee provided a countryside backdrop.

They ate outside overlooking the incredible views on the terrace at Hamswell and partied in the marquee in the evening. Four bottles per trestle table gave every guests some beautiful colourful flowers to see whilst eating.

Requirements included bouquets, buttonholes, Church flowers, table flowers for 180 guests and the marquee ceiling installation. Budget needed approx £3500 - £4000 (prices as of 2022)


A romantic pastel palette at Hamswell House

 

This was a wedding that felt so relaxed and so warm with so many friendly helpful faces. We found out on our second meeting that our parents were neighbours when we were little which was such a lovely surprise and just added to that feeling of being connected.

The colours were a dreamy pastel palette of Peaches, Pinks and Blues creating a graceful, elegant, informal look. Taking inspiration from a garden in July we incorporated Roses, Peonies and those delicate garden details. Nothing was to be 'fixed' and instead a feeling of lightness and calm flowed throughout.

Limited foliages in the bouquet and table designs let the blousey fragranced blooms be fully appreciated with textures led by nature so that everything looked just that little bit different.

The ceiling of the marquee was to be full of greenery and gave the feeling of an English tea party adding a lovely cool feel to the White marquee

 

Planning and budget

Blousy Roses were mixed with Peonies along with garden textured flowers like Nigella, Sweet Peas Phlox and Scabious. The tables had a mixture of stem bottle vases and low cut glass trifle bowls. Brass candlesticks from Rustic Rentals created different heights and interest.

Requirements included, Bouquets, flower girls crowns, buttonholes, trestle tables for 144 people, cake flowers and the ceiling foliage installation. Budget needed approx £3000 (prices correct as of 2022)

Spring flowers are so incredibly exciting after a cold Winter so when Elizabeth asked last May if I could supply some flowers for a shoot I of course jumped at the opportunity!

I’m always amazed by how robust Spring flowers can be whist offering such a delicate look with their fluffy almost see through petals. They offer optimism, positivity and a bright fun effervescence for life!

My garden only has some bright Red and Yellow tulips to offer. Left overs from a previous owner that I can’t bear to rip out because they’re some of the first life and, if I get over the ‘in your face’ colour, they do definitely bring a smile! Local growers however thankfully offer some more modern pastel colours which is what I used here.

The Peachy corals and pale Mauves created a delicate soft feel with the touches of Black in the centre of the Anemone and the ribbon adding to a modern twist which I really love.

So many wonderful suppliers created this beautiful vision but it was all pulled together by @elizabethwedding_ with the gorgeous photos taken by @rubywalker_

I hope that you enjoy them as much as I do
