No, I am a studio florist and I do not have a physical shop based premises. Consultations are held remotely, I work from my studio and deliver your designs directly to you and your venue.
Rustic, whimsical, vintage, woodland, classic
Not strictly. I will try to guide all my couples when it comes to their budget and what that could achieve. It's always good to let me know what your intentions are from the beginning as then I can work much more efficiently for you.
Get as much done in the early stages as possible. Visit fairs and meet local suppliers face to face, it will be these businesses you will remember the most. Get in contact with suppliers within 18-12 months of the wedding date, companies get booked up quickly and you don't want to miss out. Prepare yourself before heading into consultations, research and have some questions about the business and their service. Look for the best quality for your budget, most suppliers will try to accommodate as best they can.
You’re welcome to share your preferences, and I’ll do my best to include them. Because flowers are seasonal and weather‑dependent, I work with what’s freshest and most beautiful at the time of your wedding.
Once a bride reaches out and enquires with Poppydots, we will normally organise a consultation to discuss the requirements and style. I then formally issue a quote and if accepted an invoice will follow. A 20% non-refundable booking fee secures your wedding date.
I provide a detailed proposal with inspiration images. If you’d like a physical mock‑up bouquet or centrepiece, this can be arranged for an additional fee.
I specialise exclusively in fresh flowers for a natural, organic look. I can work with dried flowers, or mix up both mediums for a modern take.
The most romantic flower is down to personal taste. I adore a Peony or Ranunculus as these are both very beautiful. My favourite however is a garden style Rose.
Providing the flowers have been looked after throughout the day, you will find that in water the flowers will last much longer than just the day itself. You can also look into preserving the flowers, although we do not offer this service. We do however, recommend Wild Works or Lara Jayne Design.
