Our bridal flower aesthetic runs towards the wild, natural and romantic. We always aim to do things as sustainably as possible which means we create seasonal bouquets, primarily using locally grown flowers and plants from local flower farms, private gardens, and from wild meadows and hedgerows across the island.
Each season has its own charm - its own scents, shapes and tones. We finish your custom creation by using vintage lace, twine or hand dyed silk ribbon to match the mood and style of your day.
We’ve put together some seasonal examples so you can get an idea of what to expect depending on your wedding date. As flower seasons don’t always follow our calendar year, this is only a guideline from past creations :
Spring
(April/May)
Tulips and daffodils kick off the fresh flower season, closely followed by stunning fruit tree blossom, and by mid-May the most sought-after wedding flower unfolds: the peony.
Other favourites include lilac, french anemonies, ranunculus, aquilegias, clematis and of course we all crave that fresh green foliage appearing everywhere.
Summer
(June/July)
Naturally, the summer season offers endless bounty and possibilities
The stars of this season are roses, sweet peas, cosmos, sunflowers, astrantia, the late peonies and the early dahlias, daisies, poppies, scabiosa, nigella, echinacea, ethereal grasses, lavender and other scented herbs like mint, rosemary, and lemonbalm, and too many more to count. The world is our oyster at this time of year ;-)
Late Summer
& Autumn
(August-November)
There is no doubt the main star of this time of year are the dahlias! Our local grower has more than 80 varieties in all colours and shapes and sizes. Other seasonal favourites to work with include hydrangeas, cosmos, sunflowers, a few repeat roses, and of course lots of beautiful autumn coloured foliage, grasses, and berries.
Winter
(December-March)
We save and dry a lot of different varieties of flowers, herbs, and weeds and plant material all throughout the season to save for the winter months instead of shipping in fresh flowers from all over the world. There is so much interest in the many different shapes and textures in the seedheads left behind after the glut of summer flowers. And in late winter the hellebores make a stunning addition to these dried beauties. A dried winter bouquet, flower crown or boutonniere will last for years as a beautiful memory from your big day.
