Planning and Budget

An abundance of textured seasonal flowers, capturing the essence of an English garden in July, set the tone for this summers day. A delicate pastel palette of pale pinks and light blues complemented the bride’s favourite blooms—stocks, delphiniums, sweet peas, peonies, hydrangeas, and lisianthus. She favoured relaxed, natural arrangements with airy ‘spires’ of flowers, creating an effortlessly unstructured and romantic feel.

The floral requirements included bridal arrangements, church florals that were moved up to the coach house after the ceremony, table settings for 80 guests, staircase flowers, and room décor, all thoughtfully curated to create a beautifully cohesive aesthetic

Budget needed approx £2500 (prices as of 2024)

Stationary - sister of bride


Querine and Hectors wedding was the most glorious combination bringing together dainty wildflowers and the feeling of being in the English countryside. Querine had a very clear picture in her mind of how she wanted their wedding day to look and feel from the beginning and told me how important flowers are to her and her family.

Different feelings flowed through the day with bouquets and buttonholes full of pretty dainty wildflowers, the table flowers full of colour and the Church and marquee full of countryside foliages all filled with love and care.

Planning and budget

Flowers like Phlox, Scabious, Ammi, pom pom Dahlia, Clematis and forget me nots provided the dainty ethereal feel whilst a massive amount of mixed foliages in the Church and marquee provided a countryside backdrop.

They ate outside overlooking the incredible views on the terrace at Hamswell and partied in the marquee in the evening. Four bottles per trestle table gave every guests some beautiful colourful flowers to see whilst eating.

Requirements included bouquets, buttonholes, Church flowers, table flowers for 180 guests and the marquee ceiling installation. Budget needed approx £3500 - £4000 (prices as of 2022)
