The most perfect wedding flowers

I met Sarah at a Wedding Fair at St James' Park and, if she'd been the only vendor I'd met that day, it would have been worth the trip. I'd seen her work on Instagram before going, and when I saw she was there I was glad I'd get the chance to chat in person. Right from the beginning Sarah made me feel super comfortable and it honestly felt like chatting to a friend, albeit one far more knowledgeable about flowers than I am. From our initial consult to the quote and deposit, everything went really smoothly, and Sarah fully embraced my vision of locally (where possible), sustainably sourced and seasonal flowers. Even when, in our final consult the month before the wedding, I completely changed my mind on how I wanted the flowers to be for the wedding, Sarah rolled with the vision, updated the quote, and delivered the most dreamy, gorgeous flowers for our day. When she arrived on the big day with my bouquet and the boutonnieres, I was absolutely blown away by how perfect they were, and how brilliantly Sarah had interpreted my enthusiastic ideas into the most glorious, colourful flowers. I felt similarly delighted when I got to see the venue all set up. From finding the sweet peas that perfectly colour-matched my confetti, to placing a sprig of mint into my bouquet for a beautiful fragrance, there were so many thoughtful little touches to our flowers. Not only were the flowers perfect on the day, but Sarah came back the next day to wrap them all up so I and my guests could take home posies of the wedding flowers - which lasted for over a week after the big day. Looking back at the photographs of our big day now, I'm so glad that we chose to go with Vine and Stem - the flowers were perfect, and the experience of working with Sarah was an absolute 10/10.

Stunning flowers

Planning a wedding can be stressful, but working with Sarah was an absolute breeze! She made the process so easy, offering expert advice. On the wedding day, everything arrived perfectly and looked even more stunning than we had hoped. We highly recommend her to any couple looking for breathtaking florals and a worry-free experience!

Simply the best

Sarah is amazing. My photos looked even better than the inspiration I sent her from pinterest. She completely understood my vision and made my dream a reality. Stunning. My flowers were my favourite part of the whole day. Seeing my bouquet in the morning, made my absolute day!

Flowers so beautiful I cried!

I didn’t know where to start with flowers but I narrowed down a few flourists from Bridebook and Vine and Stem was one of those I had an introductory call with. Sarah was great at getting to know the style we were going for and made it super easy to send through inspiration on WhatsApp as and when it came to me in the lead up to the wedding. When Sarah delivered my bouquet and bridesmaids flowers on the day, I genuinely cried (having not cried yet that day!) they were so beautiful, and without that much direction were exactly what I had imagined - not too neat but equally not too relaxed so it fit the style of the venue. Equally for all the various other flowers we had ordered, Sarah got them sorted with our families and set up the bud vases in the main venue perfectly so there was no stress. I wish I could have kept my bouquet forever and used it again - if I am ever in need of a flourist in the area, Sarah would be my pick! Thank you so much for such wonderful flowers (that everyone also commented on!) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beautiful, colourful, quirky flowers

Sarah was fantastic from start to finish. I didn't really know much about flowers; I just knew my theme was jewel tones colours. Sarah sent mood boards and suggested different options, as well as meeting with me a couple of times. Everyone at the wedding commented on the flowers and how they made the venue. They were different, colourful and eye-catching.

Perfect addition to our day 💗

Sarah supplied our wedding flowers in May - bridal bouquet, bridesmaid bouquets and different styled buttonholes/corsages. I originally met Sarah at one of her floral workshops (which I highly recommend also), where it was clear that she had such a passion for flowers. Sarah was always so approachable and responsive throughout the entire wedding planning process and helped both myself and husband feel at ease when trying to plan the types of flowers we wanted to feature. We envisioned spring like vibes, and Sarah definitely delivered! We had so many compliments, and the flowers were enjoyed for a good while after the wedding too. The flowers are locally sourced, which we know Sarah is really passionate about. Sarah, thank you so much for bringing our ideas to life and coming up with the most perfect creations - they will always be remembered fondly by us both ❤️

Is there a flower that has specific symbolism that you would recommend for couples?

It all depends! I’ve had a couple who wanted a Scottish theme, so we used thistles. Another pair wanted a Welsh touch, so we went with daffodils. I’m always happy to explore ideas and suggest options that fit your style.

What is the most romantic flower and why?

The rose is often considered the most romantic flower, especially the classic red rose. This association comes from centuries of symbolism in literature, art, and culture, where roses represent love, passion, and beauty. The deep red color of the rose is linked with desire, while its delicate petals and fragrant scent evoke feelings of romance and affection. Additionally, roses have a timeless elegance and versatility, making them a popular choice for expressing love on special occasions like weddings, anniversaries, and Valentine's Day.

What should you do with the flowers after the wedding?

After the wedding, there are a few lovely ways to handle the flowers:

Preserve Them: Consider drying or pressing your bouquet to create a lasting keepsake. There are services that specialise in flower preservation, or you can DIY by hanging them upside down in a cool, dark place.

Gift to Guests: Share the love by giving flowers to guests, family members, or friends who might appreciate them. It’s a thoughtful way to thank them for attending.

Decorate Your Home: Use some of the leftover flowers to brighten up your home. Arrange them in vases or place them in special spots around your living space.

Create a Floral Art Piece: If you’re crafty, consider creating a floral art piece using some of your flowers. You could make a wreath, a framed shadow box, or even a floral arrangement to display in your home.
