Such a delight to attend last spring’s ‘The Foral Escape’ workshop. It’s never too late to learn new skills and styles and so I was excited to be joining other wedding florists in being tutored by the fabulous and talented Sabine Darrall.

Do read on to hear more about the designs we created together and see some of the fabulous photos by Naomi Kenton Photography, who joined us for the styled shoot at the end of our time at Hellens Manor. More can be seen in my photo gallery too….

Natalie and Alex chose an awesome venue in the Rutland countryside for their summer wedding. Their ceremony took place in the private chapel at Exton Park, followed by a marquee reception in the beautiful grounds. The setting was perfect for the natural-looking floral designs I was asked to create, which incorporated plenty of trailing foliage and bright golden sunflowers!

Laura & James’s beautiful autumn wedding took place in the fabulous countryside setting of Bassmead Manor Barns, perfect for their preferred informal rustic style. They wanted to keep the floral designs quite simple to suit the venue, but colour was very important with Laura choosing a mix of dusky mauve and lilac shades (perfect for autumn!) with cream and ivory. Roses were the perfect choice for this colour scheme, mixed with masses of the couple’s favourite gypsophila. The dusky shades also gave the flower designs a vintage feel, with favourite rose varieties including Mentha, Ocean Song and Memory Lane...

Such a gorgeous late spring wedding in the stunning setting of Bassmead Manor Barns - I was really delighted to have the opportunity to create the floral designs for Sophie and Stuart's country wedding.

The couple’s preference was for natural style flower designs that did not look too regimented and with lots of texture and ‘spriggy bits’ and foliage to offset the beautiful flowers – definitely my sort of wedding! If this is the sort of style you love too then do take a peek at my featured gallery where more of the designs are now on show…
