    Wild Coastal Bridal Vibes

    The English weather does not always play ball when planning events, weddings or even shoots.. Last summer I had the pleasure of working with Ashton Jean Pierre a fine art wedding photographer is currently based in New Zealand. On a trip to the UK he asked kindly if I would supply a bouquet for a a small shoot on the North coast of Devon.. sadly the weather was wild, wet and windy.. however Ashton still captured some moments of beauty...

    A Summer of Bountiful Romance

    In the deepest moments of January when all there seems to be is mud and grey days.. you need a reminder that summer comes a back round sooner than you think.. What can do it any better than these beautiful images from Deans Court here in Dorset with beautiful images by the talented and fun Imogen Xiania.. I loved this dreamy shoot, using only British Flowers - which I look to do more and more.. working with beautiful and unusual stems is a joy and am proud of supporting local

    Floral Trends 2018

    It is that time of year when you get to see a clear picture of the overall trends for the summer coming when it comes to wedding flowers. Firstly I don't believe that people should follow trends, I think it should all come from the heart - but with today's world of Instagram, Pinterest and so much more it is hard to shy away from certain things. Last year I noticed say three or four certain and very clear trends shining through from my weddings I booked. From bright and colou

    Country Somerset Wedding for Aron and Liss.

    I wrote a post on this lovely wedding I worked on back in May, gosh that seems for ever as I write this in December. But I just wanted to share with you some 'On the Day' photos of Aron and Liss's wedding in Somerset, held in their local church and a private marquee reception in the grounds of the family home. These beautiful photos of their day are from the lovely Oxana of OXI Photography who covers weddings across the South West and in Somerset. The palette was muted with p

    Foliage Frenzy for Hannah and Luke

    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
