the last Monday in September … and feeling the need for a little pale lilac - such an underrated colour I always think; I love it.

When I got married, before I trained as a florist, I wanted a dark, dusky aubergine/fig floral colour palette but when the flowers actually arrived they were more of a Cadbury purple, if you know what I mean. I didn’t notice or even care at the time … I would now though 🤣.

Rachael + Dan; just the sweetest pair 🤍.

So loved being a very small part of the most beautiful day; early autumn, sun-filled and full of happiness. It shines out of every photo.

Rachael wanted to bring meadowy texture to her flowers, with frothy white ammi & cosmos, heaps of fluffy late September grasses, jasmine tendrils and a touch of bitter chocolate.

Thank you to Laura & Chelsea for their warm welcome (always) and complete professionalism - you are the best (and my favourite 😉), and to Joe & Izzy .lj.photo for these stunning captures.

Locally sourced British flowers (Leicestershire actually) from Mel who always provides the most beautiful flowers, and Fleur for her wonderful grasses 🌾.

a change in the season.

I absolutely love early autumn. From September to mid-October only, when the clocks go back. When the days are still warm enough not to need a coat, but the nights are cooler, and the colour of the light seems to change to golden.

Edging into the new season with a little autumn tablescape for the - with delicate, floaty chocolate cosmos; one of my favs 🍂.

easing into August and late summer, and in the garden the dahlias are popping. Names like ‘brown sugar’, ‘cornel bronze’, ‘copper boy’, and chocolate cosmos bringing in the colours of the new month.

warm peach + honey 🍑.

A delicate, frothy, front-facing, cascading bridal bouquet using all the lovely flowers of July in blush & apricot tones. Snapdragons, scabious, phlox, achillea, jasmine, sweet peas and the first of the bouncy cosmos.

No foam, no tape, no wire - just beautiful flowers 🤍.

late June. A midsummer palette of soft lavender, rose & powder blue.

R + N and a wedding of sweet peas and watercoloured creme brûlée phlox. And the cutest little church surrounded by the lush midsummer countryside. It even had little holders at the end of each pew big enough to hold a tube full of water for those delicate ruffled peas.

And I must mention the dress - just gorgeous 😍.

fluttery summer meadows with pops of colour for Charlotte & Chris on a breezy, sunshiny day in Southwell. Delicate dreamy cornflowers; there is no flower quite that vivid shade of blue🔹.

Being able to bring the outside in is always important, and I always encourage couples to repurpose their flowers if possible. This floral floor arch was dismantled and brought inside after the outdoor ceremony, with the individual meadows positioned on window seats and ledges. And those windows … 😍.

| a seasonal shift into June •

back into wedding season after a little hiatus to do the Camiño trek in northern Spain, and it feels like summer. The joy of coming back to gardens full of ruffled roses and blousy peonies - with sweet peas just around the corner.

Wishing you a lovely flowery start to the week 🤍.
