THE WEDDING STYLIST
-
This is a job I had no idea existed 5 years ago. Even when I first started out as a florist I didn't really understand what they did or why you would have one. After working with some exceptional stylists, I cannot recommend them more! They really help to pull together a full vision, all the elements and are able to visualise everything and pick up on the little details that really elevate the aesthetic of a wedding. I generally don't work on photoshoots that don't have a stylist now because I know how much they elevate the overall look.
-
I've been asked many times about whether I also do styling services and whether I will take on certain elements and the answer is no. I have worked with so many incredible stylists and respect what they do so much that I know that's not the area of my expertise. The flowers take up such an enormous amount of time and energy that if I were to take on styling work I know I would be spreading myself too thinly and something would suffer.
-
Saying that, I have started collecting some beautiful props to add to my business as an extra offering for couples but you won't see me agonising over napkin colours anytime soon!

This year is the first year I've had so many couples and photographers sending me their photos to use and I can't stress enough how much it means to me and other suppliers!
-
There's no better compliment than being so happy with our work you're happy for us to share with our followers and hopefully inspire more couples. I used to find it SO hard to get photographs from photographers, I have several amazing weddings I've never been able to share as my hurried phone shots just aren't good enough for the grid.
-
So a huge thank you to every couple and every photographer who has shared their photos with me, not only is it awesome for us to share our creations but also to see our work full of life! Plates full of food next to our table designs, family portraits under floral arches and smiling couples in front of ceremonies. We design flowers to be an integral part of your day, not just to be pretty in isolation so it's always so great to see them come to life.

Sent via @planoly WHAT'S IN A BUD VASE?
-
Making bud vases can actually be quite tricky, especially when making 10's or even 100's of them - trying to make them all a bit different, when working with the same flowers - balancing textures, height and colours in each tiny vase. In this one we have a large gerbera as the focal flower, chrysanthemums as filler, snapdragon adding some lovely height and shape and those pretty lisianthus (which I initially thought were sweet peas on first glance!) adding a delicate touch.
-
I've posted before about my turnaround feelings for the humble gerbera, these spidery ones are honestly an absolute fave and definitely have a place in many of my weddings.

A CLOUD OF AUTUMN -

A CLOUD OF AUTUMN
-
Not many people think about the space behind the top table but it's SUCH a great space to dress. There are some gorgeous photos of the speeches and family members with the dried florals behind them, which is way more interesting than the plain wood background!
-
I can't even remember everything that went into this cloud but we had preserved beech, sun palms, miscanthus, pepper berries, dried gypsophila and a whole lot more. It was so rich in texture and worked so well in the venue.

THE HAUNTED CHAPEL⁠ -⁠ I worked in here alone

THE HAUNTED CHAPEL⁠
-⁠
I worked in here alone for a good 45 minutes before the team told me it was MEGA haunted 👻. ⁠
-⁠
I think I've tried to repress it since but there's a horrible tale of things that happened in this chapel which I'm glad I didn't know before... saying that, I didn't sense a thing and I've definitely been in situations and buildings before where I've 'felt' something, perhaps these tormented souls liked the flowers so didn't need to smash the vases 😊⁠
-⁠
This styling concept with part of the Addams Family themed shoot, I love this close up because it shows all the intricate details thought up by Holly & Lex to really bring the theme to life in a fun but stylish way. ⁠

THE ADDAMS FAMILY 🥀⁠ -⁠ It wouldn't be this

THE ADDAMS FAMILY 🥀⁠
-⁠
It wouldn't be this time of year without sharing this EPIC shoot from the brain of all things dark and extraordinary @lexflemingphoto.⁠
-⁠
I haven't done many shoots this year, mainly due to the amount of weddings we've all done(!!) and the cost of pulling them together but they are so much fun and we get to run wild with our creativity. ⁠
-⁠
This was a beautifully creative shoot and seeing how everyone bought the brief to life, from THAT dress by @felicitywestmacott⁠) to the incredible cake (@bronyadcc). ⁠
-⁠
Let's do it again some time? 😉⁠
