Wedding Season

Wedding season is in full swing and I am in my element. Wedding flowers offer a canvas for creativity. I love creating vibrant and colorful arrangements using native and seasonal blooms. The opportunity to design unique floral arrangements for each couple, tailored to their preferences and the vibe of their wedding, brings me so much joy.



We recently teamed up with The Little Dress Company to put together a Wedding photo shoot. They brought along some other local businesses to do hair, makeup, photography, dressing, and content as well as the models and we organized to host the shoot at our local historic house Nantclwyd Y Dre. We have been working with this fantastic medieval timber framed house for a few months hosting workshops and demonstrations and working in their gardens. They have been trying to raise their profile as a potential wedding venue so it worked for everyone that we did a collaborative shoot and everyone gave their services for free. You will soon be able see some of the photos on my social media and on the website... Here is a sneak preview...





We have already started drying flowers in the workshop. Unfortunately, many flowers bloom past their best before we can pick them, but they don’t go to waste, they get dried! We are learning what works and what doesn’t work for drying and will be adapting what we plant and sow next year. Dried flowers will help us to be more sustainable as we will be able to utilize more of what we grow, and have products to sell during the off season months. We use a fantastic British wholesaler who provides us with sustainable organic flowers, but it is always nice to know that most of what we sell was grown by us, from seed to bloom.


We have an abundance of snapdragons on the field this month, and the David Austin Roses are spectacular.



To top off a wonderful month we did our first wedding at Barnutopia in nearby Shropshire. This was the most ambitious wedding we have ever taken on, and they were the most wonderful couple and had the loveliest family. We were so well looked after. It was a magnificent setting and what a pleasure to be trusted with such epic floral displays and be a part of such a special day, especially when the sun came out at just the right moment!




Don’t miss us at next month's wedding fair at Ruthin Castle!
