Whilst I love working on weddings and events, it's really fun sometimes to get a bunch of wedding professionals together and create inspirational images of ceremonies, table settings, bouquets, cakes, hair dos and of course flowers! It is a perfect way for us to find and try out new venues, work with suppliers we may have heard of but not come across on real weddings and experiment with new ideas
So grab a coffee and take a look through my inspiration files... x

AUTUMN COPPER
Autumn really is my favourite time of year - ...the colours, the textures and even the chill in the air bring a whole lot of excitement to floristry
Another new wedding venue was the host for this shoot and we captured all the colours and feels
Many of the flowers featured are available year round but the foliage is what sets it apart, the gold and brown leaves setting off the apricot and blush roses perfectly

AMORE ETERNO
These atmospheric and truly gorgeous photos are from a shoot at a beautiful wedding venue in Oxfordshire with an interesting Italian heritage
Using this as a starting point, we embraced it with bespoke cocktails, romantic fiori and calligraphy plus an outdoor table setting to rival any Tuscan spread ... and a beautiful real life Italian couple in love!

SUMMER WEDDING IN SUFFOLK
The beautiful and atmospheric Butley Priory set in the glorious Suffolk countryside was the venue for our summer shoot ahead of J&M's wedding in July
Working with a monochrome palette of crisp white dahlia, fragrant garden roses, sweet peas, ammi, cosmos and scabious, soft nude roses and dark pops of prunus foliage which were all sympathetic to the creamy Suffolk stone of this wonderful venue
