Steph and Nick’s super fun colourful wedding in Dumfries and Galloway was full of bright seasonal blooms and handmade touches to make it personal unique to them. This was our first time working at GG’s Yard and it did not disappoint. It has lots of space and beautiful light which was perfect for this bright relaxed spring wedding.

Steph and Nick are keen gardeners and crafters and had lots of great diy elements to their wedding which they wanted to be filled with colourful wild flowers.

The Engine Works is fast becoming one of our favourite venues having first seen it when we did a photoshoot in 2018. Since then the renovations have finished and it’s gone on to become one of Glasgow’s coolest venues for couples looking for an industrial or alternative space for their wedding. As a blank canvas venue it has lots of scope to make it your own and Jo and David gave us lots of creative freedom to create floral installations and really bring the outdoors in for the wedding reception.

The couple were really passionate about keeping the flowers as sustainable as possible so we used all Scottish grown flowers with Irish eucalyptus and some dried elements such as dried honesty, grasses and lavender.

Kelburn Castle is famous for its colourful murals and beautiful woods and gardens so we were really excited to be asked by this couple to provide flowers for their wild flower themed colourful spring wedding which included their wee pug dog, and we got to work with some of our favourite photographers Jo + Liam too!

We used almost all Scottish grown seasonal flowers and lots of spring foliage such as larch and laurel to decorate the wedding. May is a great time for Scottish grown flowers as the growing season really gets into its stride.

Carrick Castle is one of our new favourite venues, a great blank canvas for couples really wanting to make their wedding unique to them and set in stunning landscape on Loch Goil.

Kevin and Frances were a super fun relaxed couple getting married at Dalduff Barn in the spring of 2022. They loved autumnal colours which might seem strange in March but we love a challenge so we filled their rustic venue with seasonal flowers in warm oranges, peaches, golds and yellows which worked brilliantly even if people usually associate them with autumn. It definitely made us realise there’s no rules to what colours you can have at your wedding and we’re all for challenging the norm!

For Frances’ gorgeous bridal bouquet we used a mix of imported and Scottish grown flowers as it was still quite early in the growing season so full Scottish grown would have been difficult. We used gorgeous toffee coloured roses alongside poppies, skimmia, forsythia, tulips, fritillary, wallflower and snapdragon.

Alice and James’ gorgeous spring wedding at The Rhynd was filled with pretty seasonal flowers arranged in a wild flower style. We used lots of Scottish and British grown favourites such as anemone, narcissus, blossom, tulip, and ranunculus as well as some imported things like Quicksand roses to achieve a romantic delicate look.

We created a beautiful foam free arch around the door from the bar to the main area which really brought the space to life and was a perfect backdrop for guest selfies.

Hannah and Chris' spring wedding at Pollockshields Burgh Hall in Glasgow had a beautiful pastel palette and used a mixture of Scottish and Dutch flowers to give a soft, wild flower, romantic feel. Hannah's bouquet was finished with delicate heirloom silk ribbon wish caught the wind beautifully in her photos.

For her table centres we created an enchanted woodland theme with bell jars, fairy lights, succulents, moss and Scottish grown spring wild flowers.

"I would thoroughly recommend Melanie - she did the flowers for our wedding in April (2017) and I was delighted with the results. Melanie was friendly, professional and creative and the flowers / table decorations were beautiful and attracted a lot of comments from our guests." Hannah Boyd

Sarah and Jamie’s elegant pastel May wedding at Persie House near Blairgowrie was filled with delicate seasonal wild flowers in beautiful greens, soft pastels and a few pops of brighter pink. These pastel tones really added to the romantic spring feel of the designs.

Sarah’s bouquet was a loose, hand tied posy with seasonal spring wild flowers such as pale pink peonies, poppies, orlaya and early sweet peas that smelled gorgeous and looked beautiful against the silvery greens of the foliage. We added beautiful hand dyed heirloom silk ribbon in a soft creamy pink and created flower crowns for her flower girls and matching posies for her bridesmaids. The delicate aquilegia, astilbe and orlaya really accented the lace detailing of Sarah’s stunning wedding dress.

I used lots of Scottish grown flowers for these designs to bring a soft, seasonal and romantic feel to the wedding flowers. For Sarah and Jamie’s ceremony at Ballintuim I added a flower and foliage garland above the church entrance which acted like a mini arch for the couple and guests arriving. Inside the church we placed two large urn arrangements at the front filled with blossom, tulips, roses and azalea and lined the windows with jugs of fresh spring flowers.

The reception was held in the marquee at Persie House, which we decorated with rustic flower hoops behind the top table. This created a great backdrop for photos of the top table and brought a touch of colour to the space. We filled elegant glass bottles and jars with pastel spring flowers for the centre of the guest tables.

Helen and Mark’s colourful Spring wedding at Errol Park in May was filled with seasonal wild flowers in bright fun spring colours with lots of pops of coral to tie in with the bridesmaids’ dresses.

I used Scottish grown flowers to capture the natural laid back feel of the wedding and the rustic setting of the outdoor ceremony and stables reception. For Helen and Mark’s ceremony I created a colourful garland of flowers and foliage to decorate the arch of the wooden summer house in the gardens and act as a focal point. We hung jars filled with colourful spring wild flowers on the chairs going down the aisle and added some to the drawers of the signing table. The bright colours worked brilliantly with the fun outdoors setting and gave the ceremony a festival feel.

Helen’s bouquet was filled with bright spring wild flowers and blousy coral peonies, which are one of her favourite flowers. For her bridesmaids we created colourful wild posies to tie in with their dress colour and her flowers. We also created a flower crown for the flower girl and a floral comb for the bride to wear in her hair, while the bridesmaids wore wired flowers woven into their hair. Mark and his groomsmen wore bright buttonholes which really popped against their tweed jackets.

For the reception in Errol Park Stables we added foliage and flowers to a beautiful ribbon backdrop behind the top table and decked out the other tables with jars of bright spring flowers on top of wine crates, which worked well with the mixed coloured taper candles too.

Beth and Dan’s elegant May wedding at Glasgow’s 29 was filled with seasonal wild flowers in beautiful whites and greens. The limited colour palette really added to the sophistication and romance of the designs.

Beth’s bouquet was a loose, wild hand tied posy with seasonal spring wild flowers and peonies in fresh whites and zingy greens. We added trailing ribbon to tie in with the bridesmaids’ dresses and I created cute floral hoops for the flower girls to carry.

For the groom and his groomsmen we wanted a modern take on buttonholes so created floral pocket squares in greens and whites which looked great against the deep blue of their suits.

I used Scottish grown flowers for this fun couple to bring a soft, wild and romantic feel to the wedding flowers. For Beth and Dan’s ceremony I created large seasonal installation along the mantelpiece of the fireplace filled with meadow flowers to act as backdrop to their ceremony. This would then also be behind the top table for the wedding reception. This large installation was a great focal point in the room and worked really well with the natural stone of the walls.

For the reception we filled minimal elegant glass bottles and vases with spring flowers and scattered foliage around them to create an airy but sophisticated feel.

“Not only is Mel one of the loveliest humans she was an absolute pleasure to work with. Mel totally understood our vision and brought it to life in the most incredible fashion. She was happy to help me step outside the box with flower hoops for our flower girls and flower pocket squares for the boys. The bouquets were incredible but the absolute showstopper was her mantelpiece arrangement that was the backdrop for our entire day. Do not hesitate to use Mel for you wedding or any other of your floral needs. I would love to be able to give more than 5*” Dan

Matt and Sunayna's colourful May wedding was a beautiful, vibrant celebration of spring wild flowers. Using Scottish grown flowers I worked with Sunayna to choose an unusual colour palette of bright and contrasting colours to mirror the spools of wool at her venue, the Dovecot in Edinburgh.

The couple built their own archway inspired by the looms used at the venue and I dressed it in seasonal foliage, rambling roses and other spring flowers.

"Thank you for arranging the most beautiful flowers for our wedding. We were absolutely delighted with all of them - I think my bridal bouquet is the most gorgeous one I have ever seen, and the bridesmaids bouquets were also stunning and very complimentary. I absolutely love what you did with the arch too, it provided the most beautiful background for our ceremony. Thank you also for being so lovely to work with in the build up - I really enjoyed discussing what would be in season and may work well together, and your booklet of what went into our arrangements was such a special extra touch.

Alison and Richard’s colourful early summer wedding at the beautiful House for an Art Lover in Glasgow was filled with seasonal wild flowers in bright colours and fresh greens.

We used mainly Scottish grown flowers to create a relaxed wild flower look that fitted the laid back feel of the day and mirror the season. For Alison and Richard’s ceremony in the Morning Room we lined the aisles with beautifully scented seasonal wild flower arrangements in in jars which were later moved to the tables and windowsills for the reception. The aisle flowers helped draw the eye down the space to the front and carried the colour theme through the space. The bright colours really popped against the more muted setting of the interiors at House for an Art Lover.

Alison’s bridal bouquet was a soft, romantic shape with a mixture blousy and frothy flowers such as peony, anemone, geum, lady’s mantle, nigella, and sweet william among other materials. For the bridesmaids’ bouquets we created smaller posies inspired by the bridal bouquet and the bright colours contrasted beautifully against their emerald green dresses. For the girls’ hair we provided a mixture of small wired flowers for the hair stylist to weave into their hair styles for a relaxed boho feel.

For the reception the couple had collected a variety of different shaped bottles which we filled with seasonal wild flowers and grouped in clusters in the centre of the round tables and on the window ledges.

Katy and Andrew’s colourful May wedding at Edinburgh’s Riddles Court was filled with seasonal wild flowers in bright fun spring colours.

I used Scottish grown flowers to capture the natural laid back feel of the couple and mirror the season. For Katy and Andrew’s ceremony I created a bold seasonal pedestal arrangement for the front of the room filled with scented lilac and we lined the aisle with jars filled with spring wild flowers. The bright colours worked brilliantly with the wood paneling in the room which really made the colours come to life.

Katy’s bouquet was filled with bright spring wild flowers and blousy peonies and was shaped into a teardrop style. For her bridesmaids we created colourful mix and match wrist corsages and Andrew’s rustic thistle buttonhole also contained flowers to match in with Katy’s wedding bouquet.

For the reception we lined the tables with airy foliage and more vases of colourful bright spring flowers.

"Mel was the perfect florist for our wedding. She took our brief - spring brights - and ran with it, creating more wonderful arrangements than we ever could have imagined. The flowers for our ceremony were spectacular and all our guests couldn't stop asking about them. The flowers for our tables, my bouquet and for the family corsages and buttonholes were all equally gorgeous and unique." Katy

Chanelle and Lloyds’s romantic fairytale wedding at Rowallan Castle was filled with gorgeous colourful springs wild flowers perfect for capturing the beauty of spring. With an eye-catching colour pallette of blue, white and pinks with pops of brighter tones to create contrast this was a really fun wedding to flower up.

Chanelle and Lloyd planned their gorgeous wild flower wedding from afar and travelled to the beautiful Rowallan castle to say their “I dos” in April. The castle was filled with beautiful spring light and we decorated the ceremony room with striking natural style urn arrangements on plinths either side of the grand fireplace. This as a great way to frame the ceremony space and a really flexible option as the flower arrangements could easily be moved and reused later at the wedding reception. We used lots of spring favourites like flowering current, blossom, anemones, tulips and and hellebbore alongside some UK grown delphinium for a striking pop of blue colour.

We moved these arrangements through to either side of the top table for the wedding reception where they really popped against the dark curtains in the ballroom at Rowallan. Channelle had colour co-ordinated her taper candles with the flowers so the space was filled with touches of pink, and blue which looked great against the white table linen. We dotted little bud vases filled with seasonal spring flowers grown in Scotland along the guest tables and top table in between the candles.

For the groom and groomsmen we continued the theme of blues with cute thistle buttonholes with a pop of brighter blue in the form of a stem of grape hyacinth tucked in the back of the buttonhole. We bound the buttonholes with twine for a rustic look

For the bride and her bridesmaids we made stunning spring posies in a relaxed wild flower style using lots of seasonal spring flowers grown locally. In the bridal bouquet we included anemone, bluebell, hyacinth, delphinium, anemone, ranunculus and tulip all grown in the UK.
