This morning when I stepped back after making B’s quintessential country style bridal bouquet, I gazed at the organic shapes created by the stems forming a river of flowers. Finished with the delicate float of freshly cut Clematis vine. I am completely in my comfort zone creating romantic, whimsical, country arrangements - this is the style of work I love to create and (I think) what my clients come to me for. So thank you.
B’s bridal and bridesmaid arrangements were designed to be highly fragranced too, reflecting the finest bounty this time of year has to offer with the sweet stocks and Hesperis. The drive over to Austwick was a pleasant one, counting the tractors working hard in the fields and inhaling the natural scent of these late Spring blooms.
T’s groomsmen buttonholes were created using entirely dried materials it’d stored from last summer. This is a great option for those requiring early delivery the day prior to the wedding. In fact dried buttonholes are requested 95% of the time for reliability and ease of attaching, making every step of your day stress free. These delicately wrapped little works of art were then finished with velvet ribbon and boxed neatly to be handed over to the groom. The grasses really bring the designs together, reflecting the current produce out in our meadows in late May.
B & T’s wedding was mostly a DIY supply, delivering to them 3 buckets bursting with the finest stems available to cut at this time of year. I can’t wait to see how they use the material to finish off the wonderful setting of their wedding tomorrow. B’s mother had been out foraging this morning, cutting cow parsley and hawthorn blossom, wonderful editions to this sustainably sourced wedding.
With love from Honour Farm, have an incredible wedding day x
