A Bridal Bouquet for Every Season
Our philosophy has always been the same… to provide kind, carefully chosen and seasonal flowers for a special number of occasions, weddings and events each year.
Our journey starts with picking our ingredients, either personally collecting these from a number of our generous and wise local growers, or by self harvesting them from a few of our favourite places.
Nature is always at the heart of our work, and it calmly steers our direction, designs and creative urges. Wild, wiggly and wonky. Our flowers are always full of personality and express many moments in a way words may struggle to.
This ‘hand picked’ and considered approach allows us to keep all of our wedding bouquets grounded, as they naturally align with the time of year in which the ingredients are set to flourish.
Spring
Fresh, earthy and waking up from a long winter, Spring blooms are some of our favourites.
Getting married in this season means you’ll have some unpredictability of when exactly these blooms awake, but that just adds to the fun!
The pastel hues and tones of the flowers are beautiful, and so rich after a bare landscape for so long.

Summer
Luscious, bountiful and bold.
The summer blooms are wild and carefree, a playful and fun season to be bold with colours.
Some flowers stick around for the whole season and some are short lived (roses & peonies!), but it’s an exciting time of colours and textures.
Some Summer favourites:
Scabious
Knautia
Ammi
Sweet pea
Rose
Autumn
A mixture of both drying stems and fresh flowers can be found in this season, as things start to change.
The choices of flowers start to limit as the climate chills, but you can always look to the hedgerows for inspiration.
The frosts will be coming soon, so let’s make the most of a last exploration of the fresh flowers of the year.
A few special Autumn ones:
Dahlia
Flowering mint
Clematis
Bracken
Cosmos
Winter
A dried haven.
The winter months offer a time to explore something unusual and different. Whether that be a withering structure or skeletal shape, partnered with evergreens and dried beauties that capture the summer shine in a now muted way.
Dried will always have a special place in our heart, and this season is always full of appreciation for the ones that we kept tucked safe and sound.
A few of the Winter favourites:
Strawflower
Hydrangea
Miscanthus
Rosemary
Dried grasses
