The first wedding of the year for me was this gorgeous Cerne Abbas wedding for Francesca and William, a real village affair! It was just a d

This is knock out, a stunner of a wedding where it all come together with the most beautiful effect. Sai and Jack pulled off a chic and modern affair with an autumnal twist at St Giles House. All these beautiful images are captured by the lovely Imogen Xiania.. Sai's dress was by Charlie Brear and her beautiful Hair and Make up done by Victoria Fergusson. " Emma , I wanted to send you a quick message to tell you the biggest thank you possible for my absolute flowers of my D

There are some weddings that just make you smile from start to finish.. this was one of them. Working with Philippa, her lovely Mum (Fiona) and Ash for their home marquee wedding just up on the hill from the studio was a delight.. Pleased to share with you some of Fiona's fantastic images she captured of this lovely wedding. Fiona was a delight and incredibly friendly - not only a wedding photographer, family portraits and equine too.. Check out her Fiona Scott Photography Ph

I met Rob and Abbi back at a Coastal Tents open day and they were having to plan their wedding in advance as Rob was in the Army and around the globe much of the time. A spring time wedding at Sherborne Castle was their choice. Abbi wanted bucket loads of delicate spring blooms ranging from Muscari, Hellabores, Ranunculus and the special Butterfly Ranunculus, Spirea, Lilac blossom the first of the Sweet Peas and so much more. Abbi's bouquet was made into a more modified cas

With all this beautiful winter sunshine recently.. the views here in Dorset have been just incredible, be it on the coast or further inland in the rolling hills. I will admit as a county we are a little tucked away.. and I frequently wish that someone would be able to deliver sushi to my front door or that I didn't have to travel an hour or so to find my an Anthropologie or Zara store... though what Dorset does offer is beauty, charm, character and hidden hideaways. If you a

Well this was my first full year in business and what a fabulous year it has been.. With a great team behind me.. wonderful couples, families, venues and wedding suppliers to work with with. I have designed flowers for beautiful venues across, Dorset, Somerset, Wiltshire and Devon.. from Axnoller, Powderham Castle, St Giles House, Wick Barn, Smedmore House, Alexandra Hotel, Mangerton House, Lulworth Chapel and so many tipi and marquee weddings!! So here are just some of thi

Hannah and I met over Skype while she sat in Hong Kong and I in my Dorset studio.. She was flying back to Dorset where she grew up to marry her Luke and had chosen Upwey House to have her Tipi Wedding so that family and friends could fly in from all points of the world. Simple green and no flowers were the order of the day. With a uber relaxed foliage bouquet and as much foliage, hops and garlands as I could fit in the Tipi it was a lovely and charming wedding to work on. I l

Desiging Rachel's beautiful and bright burnt autumnal blooms was a joy - I always love being challenged to bring more unique and contrasting palettes together into one overall theme. Using a rich array of dark reds and chocolate tones along with a touch of blue from the last of the delphinium and bright oranges was the base of her bridal palette. Using Dahlia's dried Straw flowers, Rosehips, Chochino spray rose along with Golden Mustard spray rose, Kangaroo Paw, Crocosmia,

Claire married her Andrew in the most beautiful of weddings - with their ceremony held at Lulworth Chapel and then back to Andrew's family farm for a Marquee reception which turned into the most incredible of parties.. or so I hear. Claire wanted classic with a twist and with a blue and white theme for the first part of the wedding, we chose to use more structrual blooms alongside delicate country stems. Take a look at these beautiful images of a couple who truly belong toget

I was so lucky to work with Kimberely and Craig on their wedding at the beautiful Axnoller here in Dorset. It was simply a 'super' cool and stylish affair. Kimberely wanted a cool mix of something different with just an injection of dark colour in amongst crisp white and buff colours. Using a mix of Copper Beech, Dracena foliage and a range of blooms from Dewi Delphiniums and a beautiful mix of roses alongside oodles of Eucalyptus. Roses David Austin Darvey were used along Wh

Whimisical and a touch of 'Maid Marion' for Rachel and Leo's Aughust wedding at Oakeford Fitzpaine Church and then on to Pythouse Kitchen Gardens for the reception.. Wild, free, natural and just a little bit random were words on the wish list when I met Rachel and Leo when they were describing what they wanted from their wedding flowers.. " Your flowers were magical and commented upon and admired by many of our freinds. The Church flowers we just perfect. The displays either

Gosh where has the summer gone.. I was keeping up with little posts on many of our summer weddings... but due to a busy few weeks I thought I would try and catch up. I just received these beautiful images from Kirsty and Jonny - the most wonderful couple who got married in Marnhull a few miles up the road from the studio and then went to Deans Court for their reception. Inspired by Californian weddings and coral tones.. their flowers complimented their relaxed yet stylish we

Paula and Richard came to see me in the Autumn to discuss designing some beautiful and bespoke Bridal flowers for herself and their bridal party. Having a relaxed wedding at Southover House just outside Dorchester Paula wanted a mix between classic and loose wedding flowers for her day. I will admit that Richard was not so interested about talking about flowers, so I set him a task and he enjoyed a walk with Martha while Paula and I talked away over a pot of tea... it actual

Country Dorset weddings are what I love.. Kate came to see me and after chatting over a pot of tea I got to find out that her first love was gardening and she was a trained horticulturalist, a little different from her day job now as an ITU dedicated nurse. Her love of gardening was key for her flowers, she wanted natural flowers with scent, with a mix of pink, buttery yellow and cream. So after talking we spoke about adding layers of herbs from English Mint and Rosemary, lo
