Bridal Bouquets and Seasonal Flowers: 5 reasons why they’re the perfect pairing

 

Hello from Devon, the temperature has dropped at last, and there’s been rain as well, so we have happy plants. As wedding enquiries start coming in once more, I thought I’d write a little something on one of my favourite thing to create; Bridal Bouquets. And the reasons why using seasonal ingredients heightens designs and helps create something really special.

I adore making them; it just feels like a quiet moment, and the process is something I find really reflective.  They’re also an important focal point, but I try to forget about any pressure! Anyway… seasonal flowers, bridal bouquets and  why it’s a wonderful combination:

Natural flowers

Now it’ll come as no surprise at how passionate I am about this, but just to say it again: Natural Flowers is where it’s at. Seasonal, local blooms are truly wonderful. Flowers grown in their natural habitat, picked to order; the beauty and freshness shines through. Grown happily, and simply, working with the seasons and climate. No air miles, no chemicals, no unnatural growing conditions… We grow and source all our flowers here in the South West, working with the seasons, evolving each year, which means we’re providing you with the freshest blooms possible.

 

Uniqueness

It also means your flowers are completely unique! Wonky stems (we’re a fan), texture, colour varieties, no two flowers are ever the same- and I love this. On our Devon flower farm we grow select flowers, not on a mass scale, each year choosing, reviewing and planning new varieties and combinations. It’s part of the whole creative process.

 

Sustainable

Again this is a big, big passion for us! We look after our land and so the land looks after us (by producing beautiful blooms). Year on year this will continue- feeding the land, and growing more beautiful things. Everything is picked to order, we make our own compost, there’s a life cycle on our flower farm. It all links back.

Beautiful

Have I mentioned this yet (sorry,  I know I’m biased), but I just think the beauty shines out, and the scent, so many senses come to life from fresh flowers. Scent isn’t something that travels well, so a lot of imported flowers have this trait bred out of them, due to needing to able to survive transporting across the world. But not if you use local flowers…

 

Bespoke

Everything is created around your day. Small or big, every item is made for you. This means we’re flexible, and helpful (hopefully). Creating and growing seasonal flowers here in South Devon ,because we believe in the process and want to share it with you, and help make your day unique, beautiful and full of flowers.

 

I hope that’s explained some of our thought process behind why we work the way we do; hand in hand with sustainability and beautiful flowers. Growing flowers in Devon, and creating wild and wonderful wedding blooms. If you want to send us an enquiry go to our wedding enquiries form. And if you’d like some seasonal inspiration we have flower galleries covering all the seasons (or ask us!) to start to give an idea of what flowers are around and when.
