Planning and Budget

Bryony is a talented designer and so knew what she wanted in terms of colours and style. The flowers included Spring favourites like Ranunculus, Tulips and Muscari mixed with Roses in Cappucino, Taupe, Dusky Pink, and Peach colours.

The flower cloud was above heads and so needed flowers that are long lasting.

Requirements included, bridal items, table flowers of bottles, little bowls and candlesticks for 110 guests, pedestals, stair flowers and ‘that’ cloud'.

Budget needed approx. £3500 (prices as of 2023)

The bouquets had the most beautiful Spring flowers like Ranunculus and Anemones in Whites and Clove colours along with my favourite ‘Snakes head Fritillary’ mixed with some more jungly textured leaves that added an almost Charleston feel.

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)

Wow, what a Summer of weddings 2021 was!

A Summer filled with love and happiness and parties! I have never seen so many photos from couples full of so much dancing and partying. I guess that’s what happens when you are reminded how precious life is.

I would love to blog every wedding that I’ve done this year but well, it’s just been too busy

I have the best couples. Fact! Each and Everyone of them have been so wonderful to work with and I really can’t thank them enough. Here’s just a small peek at some fabulous ones!

An Enchanted Dream at Pennard House

A magical June wedding at Pennard House

Victoria and Sam, what a wonderful couple and what an amazing wedding to have the pleasure to work on. Some weddings get you so excited as a florist and this was one of them!

They had a strong vision when they first came to talk to me and there was an underlying theme of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ with lots of foliages and everything looking natural and magical.

Pennard House worked as the perfect backdrop and as Victoria said herself ‘gave us the perfect balance of a bohemian venue with tipis, fields and forest, with the elegance and convenience of the house and coach house for the reception’.

Everything that they wanted fitted perfectly with the style of floristry that I love to create. Lots of bushy foliages to give an intimate and cosy feel mixed with rambling garden flowers and touches of wild looking flowers.

Victorias sense of style pulled everything together with antique brass candlesticks complimenting my gold mercury vases, gold tipped White feathers and wildflower favours on the tables, a mountain of fairy lights and a dreamy huge mirror as the table plan, oh and the most stunning table name cards that I’ve seen to date!

The weather on the day was a rollercoaster. One minute it was boiling hot and the next it was torrential rain which made deciding whether to place the ceremony flowers inside or out a bit tricky but, Victoria was adamant that she wanted to marry outside, so on the morning of the wedding we stuck with the decision to ‘flower up’ the pavillion at Pennard and wow, what a perfect decision to make. The incredible and unique photos by Tom Halliday say it all. I am so lucky to do flowers for such amazing couples!

Planning details

‘Quicksand’ Roses complimented the pale sage Green of the bridesmaids dresses and were mixed with various textured dainty wild looking flowers and lots of foliages. The touch of Blue in the Nigella just added that little something extra.

Victoria looked like a goddess in her crown and there was much discussion about it being ‘not too big and not too small’

They had bouquets, buttonholes, hair crowns, table flowers, ceremony flowers, stair flowers and reception foliage installations. Budget required £2500 - £3000.
