The most stunning wedding captured by at for and .

These images have captured the overwhelming emotions that were felt by everyone in attendance at this special day.

I am so grateful Poppy has shared these preliminary images with me so soon after hers and Will's wedding and these are just a snippet. What an incredible day at a venue that really does speak for itself in Bury St Edmunds here in the beautiful county of Suffolk .

I feel very honoured to have been asked to flower this wedding and I can't lie it was one that presented challenges with the timescales involved.

The focal flowers for the bouquets were calla lillies, a timeless flower which suited Poppy's elegant satin dress beautifully. The bridesmaids one shoulder ice blue dresses added to the overall elegant theme for the girls.
Will wore a white tuxedo suit and was the epitomy of the handsome groom.

A truly magical storybook wedding to seal Will and Poppy's gorgeous love story 🤍

Calla Lillies. A very different style for me for this magical wedding .
The bride adores the elegant Calla Lilies and wanted these for hers and her bridesmaids bouquets along with the groom's boutonnière for their most beautiful wedding.
This for me was a contrast to my previous garden gathered bouquets but one I was excited to tackle.
The anticipation for the Calla's to arrive was intense, they are a tricky flower to work with. The stems can curve in unwanted directions and are prone to splitting making it difficult to arrange them. After a few practice runs I gathered these graceful stems and interspersed them with freesias to add interest and citrus scent.
I have very few photos to share of the finished bouquet but here is a glimpse of it for now.
Congratulations to the beautiful couple, their love for one another was a joy to watch 🤍

I am going to take the plunge and offer wreath making workshops this year in Kersey. To get an idea of how many people would be interested in making one of these with my guidance (no floral foam,) can you message me so I can gauge how much interest there is. Of course there will be a glass of something and the obligatory mince pies (although with a twist as it will be my mum's homemade recipe, a firm favourite with all who try them 😋) Dates in early December tbc

Flowers and sunshine, what better way to breath, relax and enjoy your day 🌸 I loved making this bouquet of pretty gathered petals. The apricot garden rose is my absolute favourite along with the achillea, grown by the lovely The Freckled Foxglove . I try to always buy British grown flowers from local suppliers to me. They have a beauty that the imported ones cannot quite match 🌸🌿

Bouquet and bowl arrangements 🌸

These can both be repurposed to another area on your wedding day 🥂

Think altar or table for the official ceremony and vow making then top table, wedding cake table or any other table for your wedding reception celebration 🌺

These are what I love creating the most for brides and grooms as they epitomise the ideas you have imagined in all the planning days prior to the big event ⛪️

I still have some availability in September and October this year. Next year is getting booked now so if you are thinking about booking a florist contact me for availability 🌿
