Lisa and Emmanuel's winter micro wedding at MacDonald Forest Hills Hotel near Aberfoyle in the Trossachs used beautiful wintery flowers to create a romantic wild feel.

I used a mixture of imported and British grown flowers including seasonal favourites like tulips, ranunculus, viburnum, spirea, narcissus and hellebore. For the ceremony space we lined the aisle with long loose runners of foliage and framed the ceremony space with two large vase arrangements on pedestal stands that could then be easily moved for the evening part of the wedding.

Lisa’s wild wedding bouquet was filled with delicate and romantic flowers in a natural front facing style and I added whisps of jasmine and trailing ivy to give the bouquet a loose tumbling feel. We used imported roses, lisianthus, veronica and astrantia alongside early spring flowers grown in the south of England to create a delicate and beautiful variety of shapes and textures.

For the reception we wove ruscus and fern around glass vases filled with water and floating candles at different heights in the centre of each round dinner table.

Chris and Gillian's winter micro wedding in Glasgow was a celebration of colour to mirror the beautiful Spanish gardens where they got engaged.

I used a mixture of imported and British grown flowers to create a fun colourful mix of pinks, oranges, lilacs and reds.

Gillian’s wedding bouquet was filled with a zingy combination of seasonal favourites like rosehips, anemones, skimmia, tulips and ranunculus alongside imported clematis, snapdragons, bupleurum and roses.

For the gents’ buttonholes I made colourful little bunches of ranunculus, eucalyptus and rosehips that really popped against the dark fabric of the groom’s jacket.

Jill and Graeme's beautiful November wedding was filled with plummy tones, rustic finishing and the blue gray colours of succulents. Working in the rustic setting of Dalduff barn we filled the space with candles and whisky and beer bottles filled with flowers. Other decor touches included wild arrangements in mason jars, hanging floral installations and trailing foliage around the window.

It was such a pleasure doing Claire and Paul’s wedding flowers for their early Spring wedding at Cairns Farm Estate as I had previously done the flowers for Claire’s sister’s wedding so got to catch up with her on the day! I love doing flowers for friends and family of my previous couples, it feels like a real priveldge to be asked back to do flowers for someone they know.

Claire and Paul chose a beautiful colour palette of oranges, peaches and rust tones (not just for autumn you know!) contrasting with soft blues and whites. This colour scheme is becoming more popular and works for summer weddings too.

For Claire’s gorgeous bridal bouquet we created a relaxed front facing arrangement using lots of spring and winter favourites such as anemones, tulips, paperwhite narcissus and ranunculus alongside snapdragon, delphinium, roses, wax flower and thistle. The bluey tones of the Irish grown eucalyptus perfectly complemented the colour theme.

For the couple’s bridesmaids we created beautiful small posies inspired by the bridal bouquet but smaller and a super cute fresh flower wand for the flower girl, these really popped against their constrasting rust coloured dresses and suit.

The groom, groomsmen and dads wore rustic buttonholes of eucalyptus, dried crocosmia, thistle, wax flower and ranunculus bound with a chocolatey brown ribbon to match in with the autumnal colours of the other wedding flowers and the bridesmaids’ outfits.

The couple were married in the ceremony room where we lined the aisle with vintage stoneweare bottles to tie in with the earthy tones of the venue and wedding colour scheme, and filled these with delicate wild flower style arrangements. These could then be moved post-ceremony onto the tables for the wedding reception which were also decorated with foliage.

Nestled in the rolling landscapes of Perthshire, Fingask Castle provided a breathtaking backdrop for a beautiful winter wedding that blended English and Scottish traditions. This venue’s historic stone walls and the sweeping Scottish landscape in the crisp Scottish winter set the stage for a celebration that embraced a romantic gothic aesthetic, with a colour palette of rich red and royal purple weaving through every floral design. 

Deep red and rich purple dominated the floral designs, tying in with the groom's deep red suit and the bride's elegant tartan shawl. These colours worked into all the floral designs from the buttonholes and corsages, to the table centres and bridal flower crown.

The couple's laid-back approach shone through their creative use of collected gin bottles which could then be recycled after the wedding. This is a really popular and cost effective way to source vases for your wedding and reflects your tastes as a couple as you can include all the gins or whiskeys you love – or just the ones that you like the labels of!

The flowers told a story of cultural connection and romance: Scottish thistles representing the bride’s heritage, romantic red roses for the groom’s English background, blousey blooms like ranunculus setting a romantic tone with pretty delicate flowers like clematis and scented stock as accents. A perfect metaphor for the couple's union.
