As a guide, couples often allocate around 10–15% of their overall wedding budget to flowers, although this will vary depending on the size of your celebration, guest numbers, venue and the scale of the floral designs you have in mind.
For a wedding of around 100–120 guests at a local venue such as Millbridge Court, floral budgets typically fall between £3,000 and £6,000. For a church ceremony followed by a marquee reception, where flowers are often needed across two locations, I would suggest allowing approximately £5,000–£10,000.
I work with beautiful, high-quality flowers and foliage, thoughtfully chosen for their colour, shape, scent and seasonality. Wherever possible, I source from trusted local growers alongside specialist wholesalers, selecting the loveliest varieties available at the time of your wedding. Your investment also includes the careful design, preparation, delivery and installation needed to bring everything together on the day.
I also create flowers for smaller, more intimate weddings and celebrations, with floral design typically starting from £1,000.

Yes. I create considered flowers for intimate weddings, shorter twilight celebrations and private events.
My ‘Floral Edit’ is a menu of essential items - choose your flowers, let me know your colour palette and we’ll do the rest.
Please contact me for more information about this service.

I’ll first check availability for your date and ask a little more about your plans. From there, we can arrange an initial conversation.
Following our call or meeting, I’ll put a design proposal together full of inspiration images, colours and flowers for you to consider along with an estimate on cost.
Your date is reserved for two weeks and you can secure your date by paying a 20% deposit.
Then what happens?
Depending on your requirements we may meet for a site visit around 6 months before the wedding. The site visit is an opportunity to discuss everything in more detail and walk through the various stages of your day.
Around 6 weeks before the wedding date I will schedule a video call to run through all the details, confirm numbers and delivery. I will also liaise with your venue or marquee supplier to let them know what is happening and when.
Your full balance is due 4 weeks before the wedding and then I’ll see you on the day with your bouquet!

Repurposing is a great way to make the most of your budget. Designs such as large pedestal arrangements, aisle meadows, and flowers in a vase can easily be moved from ceremony to reception.
Larger designs such as an arch that are big and heavy or designed to fit a space such as a church door need to remain in situ.
We can chat further about this and the various options available.
-
Yes I do! Taper candles, tea lights and pillar candles are all part of the service as well as, candlesticks, glass votives and various other accessories.
Taper candles are my favorite, they are available in a huge range of colours and really help to elevate your table design. I have three different candlestick collections for you to choose from: vintage brass, gold and glass.

We will be back on site the morning after the wedding to clear everything away, if you would like to keep the flowers then we will leave them in buckets or small gift bags for you to take home.

Around 18 months, I open my diary for the following year in January, if you would like to enquire about a date more than 18 months away you can join my waiting list and I’ll be in touch once we get to January.

Yes, I have Public and Product Liability insurance if you or your venue would like to see a copy of the document just let me know.
