FAQs

That is a tough one to answer simply. There are various factors to take into consideration. Each wedding is unique and the look and feel you would like will be individual to both of you and the style you dream of for your wedding.

Flowers can be an expensive part of your wedding but they will play a huge part in setting the vibe and style of the day. Do you want to have your guests being stunned by dramatic flowers and saying ‘wow’ or are you looking for a more romantic, softer feel? It will depend on the scale you envisage and the volume of flowers required to create that look.

There is a view that the average couple should budget to spend between 10-20% of their overall wedding budget on flowers. I will always suggest that we look to re-use all of the flowers from the wedding ceremony and relocate them for the wedding reception. The flowers for your ceremony will be gorgeous so why wouldn’t you want your guests to be able to see them all day. It is important to make sure that you get the absolute most from them.

A guide for your bridal bouquet would be pricing starting from £110 - £130 for a bridal hand-tied bouquet through to £160 - £180 for a bridal teardrop bouquet where each stem is individually wired into a bouquet holder. Prices will depend on the flowers you would like to include and the time taken to create a beautiful bridal bouquet.

The majority of your flower budget will be spent on dressing the venue and in particular your top table and guest tables. Potentially you will have the cost of a table centrepiece (£xx) times the number of tables. Table centrepiece prices range from £40 per table to several hundred pounds per table, it will depend on the size and scale of the arrangement and also the flower content needed to create the vision you have.

You may be comfortable discussing your budget or you may not have any idea about the cost of wedding flowers! Don’t worry, this is something I can help you with and once we have spoken about your wish list and put together a design proposal, you will have a better feel for the costs. From there we would have another conversation to drill drown into all of the designs discussed and can then fine-tune the proposal to fit with your budget.

Budgeting is certainly something that I would be keen to work with you on, we all need to budget!

Absolutely! There have been so many weddings over the years that have been planned from overseas. The technology available nowadays has made it a much easier process. We are able to have a floral design consultation on-line where we can have exactly the same discussions as if we were sat face-to-face. We’ll take a browse through many images of our work so that you can see all of the different floral design ideas and also see examples of previous wedding work. You may also be happy to share your mood board.

Following our wedding flower consultation, a full and detailed floral design proposal will be put together for you. It will contain a huge amount of information including colours, flower design ideas and many images. The idea is that it will help you to see all of the possibilities for your wedding and help with working out your flower budget.

Once you are back in the UK, we can organise a date to meet at your venue. We can get to know each other over coffee and discuss the whole of your wedding in detail. I’m sure by then you will be super excited to be visiting your wedding venue and talking all things weddings.

It’s time to start creating your absolute wish list of wedding flowers!

Most certainly! Once you have chosen the style of cake, we can take a look at how you envisage dressing the cake with fresh flowers. You could have flowers sitting on the top tier of the cake and this is known as a cake topper, so easy to remember! You could have little groups of flowers placed around the cake, perhaps on each tier and these are called cake corsages. There is always the option too to have flowers dressing a whole tier of the cake and for this, we place individually wired flowers into a dummy tier provided by the cake maker.

Alternatively, fresh flowers can be provided directly to the cake maker for them to dress the cake. They would then wire and dress the cake in the style you have agreed.

Depending on how complicated the floral design is on the cake, I would organise a discussion with the cake maker. We will come to a very good working arrangement so both parties are comfortable, I don’t want to touch the cake too much and the cake maker is happy!

Oh, I love making flowers for pets! Are you imagining your pooch bringing the wedding rings up the aisle? They could have a gorgeous collar of flowers hand-made to suit the breed of your dog perfectly. Their dog lead could also be replaced by a garland of foliage.

Maybe you are going to ride your horse to the church? Their bridle could be dressed with flowers! Or maybe you have a pet alpaca and would like a fabulous collar of flowers for them.

Just let me know your pet and I’ll come up with some fantastic ideas for them to be a star on your wedding day!

Most definitely, it is very important that there is a good relationship between all of your wedding suppliers. Once we have discussed the ideas for your wedding flowers, we would talk through any wedding suppliers that you are using – marquee companies, venue stylists, cake makers, caterers, photographers and any others.

It is so important that everything goes to plan on the day and that absolutely everything has been thought through and planned in detail. Nobody wants any surprises on a wedding day.

I don’t want to arrive at your venue to find out that your wedding reception room is still in the middle of being draped and fairy lights installed for example, at the time I want to dress your venue and put your flowers on the tables! We don’t want the cake maker to be waiting for us on-site if we are providing fresh flowers for the cake!

It’s all in the little details. I’m here to help and make sure your ceremony and wedding reception flowers look fabulous amongst everything else you are planning!
