Charlotte and Oliver were married on 27 April 2024 at Vaulty Manor. They chose pretty pinks and whites for their flowers, which included roses, tulips, stocks and astilbe. Charlotte's bouquet was soft and pretty, incorporating seasonal spring flowers and softly toned foliages. An ivory satin ribbon finished the bouquet off beautifully. For the bridesmaids Charlotte chose something I don't do often but which I thought was a lovely touch, by having a smaller version of her bouquet for her maid of honour and then simpler bouquets for the other bridesmaids of roses, gypsophila and astilbe. The bouquets all boxed up and delivered to the venue. Oliver's buttonhole featured a white spray rose, pink astilbe, gyp and foliage, with ivory satin ribbon binding and a pin for attaching. Oliver elected for his groomsmen to all have the same buttonholes. Delivered to the venue, with their little water bottles and handwritten name tag. There was a single ladies wrist corsage which had some small and delicate flowers to match the rest of the wedding. The ceremony decor was kept quite simple, but the barn at Vaulty is so beautiful you don't need to do too much to dress it up! The urn arrangements are a permanent silk feature, and the couple added some petals down the aisle and a long and low arrangement on the table - this was later moved to the sweetheart top table. The guest tables at Vaulty are oval in shape, so a series of floral bud vases in a lazy line down the centre of the table works perfectly. The runner was provided by Occasions Covered, and we hired the bud vases and tealight holders. There were also a couple of thank you bouquets with flowers to match the rest of the wedding. I also provided a couple of extra bud vases to dress up the cake table. The beautiful pro photos are courtesy of Pure Image Photography - so pretty!

Grace and Rhys were married on 26 April 2024 at Vaulty Manor. They chose beautiful whites and blush pinks for their flowers, which included roses, peonies, stocks and sweet rocket. Grace's bouquet was so pretty, with the first peonies I've had this year and sweet rocket from my cutting garden. The three bridesmaids carried smaller versions, with the same flowers and finished with white chiffon ribbon. Delivered to the venue! Rhys' buttonhole featured white and pink spray roses, with bunny tails and soft toned foliage. The other men wore a smaller version with a single white spray rose as the focal flower. Delivered to the venue. The ceremony set up was kept simple with just a long and low arrangement on the table, but the fabric draping on the chairs from Occasions Covered complimented the barn setting perfectly. The long and low was later moved over to the top table, with some vases laid out for the bouquets as additional decor. The tables were decorated with bud vases and tealights down runners provided by Occasions Covered, the perfect set up on an oval table! The cake was made by SFCakeCo and we provided fresh flowers to decorate it with. The beautiful pro photos are courtesy of Pure Image Photography, take a look: I hope Grace and Rhys had a lovely day! 🩷🤍
Ella and Oliver were married on 20 April 2024 at Vaulty Manor. They chose beautiful blush pinks and whites for their flowers, which included roses, gypsophila, sweet rocket and ranunculus. Ella's bouquet was soft, pretty and delicate, with trailing chiffon ribbons to finish off. The four bridesmaids carried smaller bouquets of all gypsophila, with ribbon to match the bride. Delivered to the venue. Oliver's buttonhole featured a pink rose with gypsophila and foliage. The other men wore smaller versions with a pink spray rose as the focal flower. In their little vases delivered to the venue, with a handwritten name tag. The ceremony area looked beautiful with a gorgeous arch backdrop, long and low arrangement and the lanterns from the table centrepieces placed down the aisle. With the silk urns that are part of the standard venue decor the whole set up looked stunning! The top table had the long and low in the centre, with vases for the bridesmaid bouquets as additional decor and some tealights. The vases and votives were all hired from me. The tables had a lantern in the centre, with a floral arrangement in the centre designed to look as though it was growing out of the lantern. We also added in some tealights in glass votives. The stunning pro photos are courtesy of Sarah M Photography and I'm so grateful to her for sending them to me - check them out below! I hope Ella and Oliver had a wonderful day! 🩷🤍
Nicola and Ethan were married on 5 April 2024 at Little Channels. They chose classic whites and greens for their flowers, which included roses, tulips, stocks and waxflower, with eucalyptus and rosemary (a special request from the groom) for the foliage. Nicola's bouquet was so pretty, with lots of lovely texture and some gorgeous trailing chiffon ribbon to finish off the stems. The three bridesmaids carried smaller versions of her bouquet. And for the little flower girl I made a wand with a few of the smaller flowers from the bouquets. Ethan's buttonhole featured a large white rose with foliage, including rosemary, and I added a bit of waxflower because I thought it was pretty! The other buttonholes and corsages all had spray roses as the focal flowers to leave the groom to stand out a bit more. Delivered to the venue! I loved working on this ceremony set up for Nicola and Ethan. The hired my metal arch frame which I added some draping fabric to, as well as two groupings of flowers towards the top in an asymmetrical design. When an arch is behind a table there's almost no point in adding flowers at the base because they won't be seen anyway! I also placed a long and low arrangement on the table, with two mason jars of flowers - these were supposed to go on the chairs lining the aisle however the couple had also booked some beautiful chair sashes with silk eucalyptus from Occasions Covered and honestly they ended up looking too busy so I elected not to use them here (Nicola was happy with this when I explained my reasoning to her!) so a word of advice to future couples - don't forget to think about your wedding suppliers in relation to each other! When you have chair sashes you don't really need flowers as well, unless you design them around each other, which would free up budget to use elsewhere in your wedding. The top table looked lovely and full while setting up, and would have looked even more beautiful later into the day once the candles were lit! The same long and low from the ceremony was used in the centre, with four mason jars with the chair ends and two vases with a couple of the bridesmaid bouquets (again a clever way to maximise your flower budget and utilise flowers in more than one area of your wedding). The couple provided their own candles and tealights. There were only 4 guest tables (it's a lovely intimate venue!) and on these I placed a ring of flowers with some glassware with floating candles in the centre. This is such a clean, elegant design that works with both pillar and floating candles, and the floral arrangement can be taken home and enjoyed even after the wedding is over. The beautiful cake was made by Cupcake Cloud and I provided food safe flowers for decorating, each individually wired and taped so nothing potential harmful was going into the cake. I didn't use all of the foliage I'd allotted for the arch so I added a few sprigs at the base of the welcome sign and table plan - I'd always rather it didn't go to waste!

Amy and Matt were married on 19 October 2024 at Blake Hall. They chose a beautiful autumnal colour palette of oranges, rust tones, reds, burgundies, aubergine, yellows, and greens, with flowers including roses, dahlias, astilbe and amaranthus. Amy asked for her bouquet to be trailing, so I designed it as a hand tied but in an asymmetric shape so when held a certain way it would give her that perfect trail at the front. A sage green ribbon finished it off beautifully. The four bridesmaids carried smaller, non trailing bouquets but with all the same gorgeous blooms. For the little flower girl I designed a super sweet floral wand. Boxed up and delivered to the venue! For Matt's buttonhole we paired a calla lily with a spray rose, berries, grasses and foliage. The other men wore smaller versions, all finished off with rustic twine. For the ladies I designed more neutrally coloured corsages on a beaded pearl bracelet. Delivered to the venue! At the entrance to the wedding was this fabulous welcome sign/order of the day which I dressed up with a garland of flowers along the top. The ceremony barn looked lovely dressed up with a long and low arrangement on the table and pew ends on each chair lining the aisle. The couple repurposed the chair ends into their tables, with a smaller bud vase to compliment, gin bottle light and table name. I also designed some gift bouquets to be given out as thank yous during the speeches. The stunning pro photos are courtesy of Rebecca Farries Photography. I hope Amy and Matt had the best day!
