A sleek and stylish April marquee wedding using the best of the classic white flowers to a stunning backdrop. I think about this wedding often, and stay in touch with the bride and groom now!

What about your business are you most proud of?
The relationships I build with my wedding clients - when planning the biggest day of your lives, you need to work with people who understand your visions and who you have an easy relationship with. I’m proud to still keep in touch with all of my wedding clients and feel privileged to have played a part in their wedding day.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Find suppliers who you click with - if you like their style, you’re likely to gel with them based on shared tastes and preferences. Easy working relationships are a must when planning such an important day.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
After initial contact from a couple, I will firstly check date availability to make sure nobody’s time is wasted.
Next step is to send T&C’s, initial enquiry form to establish details such as venue, timings etc and order requirements, plus colour and flower preferences.
I’ll then set up a free of charge initial consultation (either phone, zoom or in person, to suit the couple), and use this information to produce mood boards and draft quote.
What is the most interesting thing you have put in a bouquet?
All our flowers are interesting for so many different reasons! I use flowers that have special significance to the bride, and the best of what’s in season the week of the wedding, meaning that no two bridal bouquets are ever the same. Always truly unique - that’s the beauty of using seasonal British flowers.
Is there a flower that has specific symbolism that you would recommend for couples?
Every couple has different presences and memories they’d like to honour - I’m always guided by the bride and groom.
What is the most romantic flower and why?
Did your fiancé propose under apple blossom?
Did they buy you roses after your first fight to say sorry?
Have you always dreamed of peonies?
The most romantic flower is the one that means the most to you and your fiancé.
(My personal preference would be for the rose “Champagne Moment 🤍”
What should you do with the flowers after the wedding?
So many options!
Dry them and enjoy for years to come.
Have them preserved in resin, either as paperweights or frames for your wedding photos.
Lay in remembrance of a loved one.
Or take them on honeymoon and keep on reliving the moments.
