 Wedding flowers

Flowers are a vital part of your special day. They will last forever in your wedding photographs and in your memory!

On your big day flowers help create magic and contribute to the beautiful atmosphere and smell. They will need to fit your style and location or they can have a special meaning. For example, rosemary doesn't just smell lovely, but  also signifies remembrance. 

Yet, crucially flowers also need to fit within your budget. Weddings are anything but cheap, which is why I offer a bespoke service to help you think through the flowers for your special day and I will work with your budget. Please get in touch for a consultation.

Bridal Bouquet

 The bridal bouquet will be amongst the most important flowers you will choose in your lifetime. So take your time to think about it and choose the flowers and style that fit you, your dress, as well as the colour scheme for the day.

You can choose a cascading bouquet, elegantly flowing down the dress, or a classic handtied bouquet with natural elegance and movement. Or perhaps you might enjoy a Carmen Rose, constructed from individual flowers to become one large impressive flower. We are happy to share examples and talk you through the options.

Buttonholes and corsages

 The groom often wears a boutonniere; a collection of flowers and foliage to be worn on the right lapel of the suit or tails. We always make sure these are the same flowers as in the bridal bouquet, unless you would like something different!

A corsage can be worn by the mothers of the bride and groom and is a collection of flowers and foliage. Traditionally these are worn on the right and with the stem pointing towards the shoulder.

Buttonholes are also  worn on the right by other members of the wedding party, such as fathers, ushers, siblings or anyone else deemed close to the to be married couple. 


Table Arrangements

As you will most likely spend quite a few hours at a wedding reception the arrangements  will be enjoyed for hours and deserve careful consideration. 



The key with a table arrangement is to either stay low or go up high, as you would like to be able to see and properly speak to the other guests.


 Table centrepieces can also make a lovely gift to give to wedding guests to take home after the evening. Alternatively, as part of our charitable commitment we are very happy  to bring them to the Arthur Rank Hospice.


Pedestals

 

Pedestal arrangements can look magnificent in any space. In Churches they often bring colour and can form a wonderful backdrop to the wedding ceremony (and photographs!), but they are also used for a grand entrance or to decorate civil ceremonies.


Choose flowers fitting for your colour scheme and think about whether you'd like flowers or foliage to trail down or not. We always like to help you think through how they can be used at another location or taken home to be enjoyed.

 



Candelabras

 Candelabras are instant impact and ambiance, particularly in places with high ceilings they are a wonderful feature.


Not every table needs a Candelabra and they can be created in different sizes using different techniques. Please get in touch, so we can help make your dream wedding a reality.

Floral Pillars and Arches

 

Large arrangements can look magnificent in any space. In Churches they often bring colour and can form a wonderful backdrop to the wedding ceremony (and pictures!), but they are also used for a grand entrance or civil ceremonies. Choose big flowers for impact. We always like to help you decide how they can be re-used at another location.

 



Flower crowns and hair decoration

 

  

The floral headband has always been popular for flower girls or bridesmaids, but is more and more often worn by the bride to create a natural or vintage look. Flower bands add flair and can create a fairytale look.

Hairpins decorated with flowers have also gained in popularity and can be a lovely addition to the hair.

Cake decoration

 

Spruce up your wedding cake with some lovely wedding flowers. This can either be on top, dotted on different layers, or we can decorate the cake stand.


We always make sure the flowers are taped or arranged into a removable structure, so that there is no chance of the flowers interfering the taste!
