UNFORGETTABLE WEDDING FLOWERS

Flowers play such an important and meaningful role in your wedding celebration – they can transform your venue, elevate your décor, and help you to make incredible memories. Each time you catch a scent that formed part of your bouquet, you’ll be transported right back to your wedding day.   

I specialise in wedding flowers that are beautifully imaginative and original, cleverly designed to make an impact and to create an atmosphere of timelessness and romance. Taking your ideas and inspirations on board, I’ll put together a suite of seasonal floral designs that suit your personal style and the style of your celebration. Wherever possible, I’ll use British flowers, sourced from some of the country’s most vibrant and passionate growers and flower farmers. My goal is for the two of you to feel confident and relaxed about every aspect of your wedding flowers – the planning should be part of the fun. Below you can find out more about the process of designing and installing your unforgettable wedding flowers.

 

“They were honestly more beautiful than we could have ever imagined!!! I will always remember that day now when I smell a Margaret Merril rose!”

HOW I WORK

Step One: After you enquire with me, we’ll have a chat on the phone or on Zoom to get to know each other. I want to hear all about your wedding day and the gorgeous details you’re planning, and get a feel for the things you love to help inspire your floral designs. If you’ve got a moodboard or a Pinterest board, feel free to share this with me before our call. 

Step Two: Come for a visit to my workshop where we can go through my initial ideas, you can explore my beautiful range of props and vessels, and the designs for your wedding flowers can start to take shape (we can toast your celebration with some of the homemade organic cider made from the apples in our orchard). If it’s more convenient for you to meet at your venue, we can arrange this instead. 

Step Three: I’ll put together visuals of your designs, showing the proposed colour palettes and varieties that will make up your arrangements and installations. I’ll use my knowledge of seasonality and connections with local growers and flower farms to make your flowers sing and make sure your arrangements are sustainable as well as stunning. You’ll also receive a detailed itemised costing based on your proposed budget, to help you see exactly how much everything will cost. 

Step Four: Time to make it official. If you would like to go ahead with my proposal, a booking fee is now payable to confirm your wedding date in my diary. 

Step Five: Sit back and relax, knowing your romantic, original wedding flowers are being expertly taken care of. The full balance is payable six weeks before your wedding day. My team and I will install and arrange your flowers at your venue, and will hand deliver your bridal flowers on the morning of your wedding.

“Despite the heat on Friday, all of the arrangements looked utterly beautiful

and the site at the church with the floral arch…WOW!!”

ENQUIRE

A fully compostable casket spray, made with no foam and no wire, using simple, natural mechanics that keep the design lightweight and secure. With no water source, flower choice becomes critical: I rely on long-lasting varieties and evergreen foliages, often keeping the bulb attached on spring flowers giving them their own water source.
Before leaving the studio, the entire piece is thoroughly sprayed and hessian is placed underneath to protect surfaces.

It was encouraging to finally see a recent newspaper article drawing attention to the environmental impact of floral foam and plastic in funeral tributes, it feels important to keep demonstrating practical alternatives. 

This is not new territory — it’s something I started talking about over ten years ago after being shocked at the sheer scale of foam and plastic from crematoriums going to landfill. I wrote to  key industry people along with journalists and the press and met with no response or with indifference. 

Ironically florists are now facing another challenge.
With more people opting for simple funerals with little or no ceremony, we’re seeing a real reduction in flowers for funerals— something that directly affects florists’ livelihoods. And that feels really sad.
Flowers are often the last tangible thing someone can do for a loved one they’ve lost. The act of choosing them, giving them, and seeing them placed goes far beyond decoration. Funeral flowers are not a modern habit — they are part of the grieving process and a  tradition going back to Ancient Greece.

Finding sustainable alternatives to traditional tributes isn’t just an environmental conversation. It’s about protecting a ritual, supporting our industry, and ensuring flowers continue to have a place at funerals.

You don’t always need expensive focal flowers — 
There are other ways to create an overall look that’s just as eye-catching.
This clip is taken from my full tutorial on creating a foam-free glass vase design, where I explain the mechanics and the design process for this pretty elevated centrepiece. 
The full tutorial can be found in the Blossom & Prosper library.

What are your thoughts on this rose? Does the size take something away from its beauty?
