Florists Tips

Precisely colour matched flowers in any shade of any colour. Handmade designs, created specifically to suit your theme by professional UK florists.

Use your ceremony flowers elsewhere in your venue after the service such as; the arrangement from the registrars table for the Top Table

Look at as many ideas as possible for inspiration.

Go with your heart, chose flowers and arrangements that YOU really love not what the popular trend is - while you might have loved your besties vintage jam jar wedding it might not be for you

Using seasonal flowers and foliage will help keep your budget on track

Use beautiful cost effective seasonal flowers. Spring Flowers are particularly cost effective! If you love Peonies but they are out of season - there are Roses that look very similar!

On a budget? Instead of compromising on quality think about how you can use décor for both ceremony and reception!

Only use a professional for all wedding services to ensure you don't jeopardise your big day. A cheap quote may mean a cheap service or experience!

Use flowers that are in season because if not they may be very expensive, ask your florist for advice

Visualize the whole reception room with guests in it. For example, A wonderful view spoilt with tall, large centrepieces that will obstruct, choose carefully

Aisle flowers can become centerpieces and altar pieces can be moved to the buffet table. They could easily be incorporated into the reception decor!" SAVES MONEY

Save on costs and use Bridesmaid's bouquets for your table decorations

When choosing the date for your Wedding, check what flowers are in season too.

To keep costs down use seasonal flowers

6-8 weeks prior to your wedding we will have a second consultation to run through the finer details (e.g. delivery of groomsmen's buttonholes) to ensure you can relax on your big day.

If you feel the florist is not getting your vision then maybe shes not the one for you. Go with someone you trust to fulfil your dream, someone you feel really gets what you want.

when discussing and looking at colours, take the flowers outside and look at them in the natural light - it can make a big difference

Dont give yourself too much work to do on the big day. If it is something your florist can do for you, use them

Communicate your likes, dislikes, and expectations but have a little flexibility and be comfortable with substitution

Make a decision on low or high table decorations other wise your guests will remove them if they cannot see or talk to their friends on the other side of the table
