Spring may be just around the corner, but if you're planning a wedding in the winter months then you might be wondering what kind of seasonal flowers (and foliage) could possibly be used for your arrangements. Typically, yes, this is outside the British growing season, making it very difficult to source locally grown flowers. However, incorporating foraged items from your garden or that of a loved one, choosing dried stems and being intentional with your choice of imported flowers are all ways florists can give a nod to the winter setting of your wedding. Part of the beauty of choosing an independent seasonal and sustainable studio florist for your big day, is that you will be working with someone who can take the time to understand what you're looking for and execute that vision with the kind of care, creativity and consideration that wouldn't always be possible in a busy shop setting. So, without further ado, here are some seasonal flower considerations for winter. Photography by Katrin Hauf Hellebore So many people describe Hellebores are one of their favourite flowers, and it's easy to see why. Just when the glumness of winter has hidden away most signs of life, it's the dainty Hellebore, in its range of hues from deep plum through to pink, green and finally a milky white, that carpets the floor with colour and first steals the show. Synonymous with the cooler months, adding these gorgeous blooms to your wedding flower designs will give a seasonal garden-gathered vibe to the overall look. Photography by J-Photos Iris One of the earliest flowering buds of the year in the garden, irises are available to buy at wholesale as early as December. The elegant shape and vibrant colour markings of the iris might not be suitable for all wedding styles and colour palettes, but they make a wonderful choice for many winter weddings. Usually associated with a deep violet or pale lilac hue with accents of yellow, you can also find them in white and yellow. Photography by Yoksel Zok Snowdrop The delicateness of these diminutive flowers is all a part of their charm, as they peek through the earth in little clumps from January onwards. Known as a classic winter flower, they are so tiny they could potentially get lost inside a bridal bouquet, however they're a super-cute addition to a table centrepiece or bud vase. Add to this the fact that they traditionally represent new beginnings, hope and rebirth, and they're a wonderful choice for a winter wedding. Photography by Nina Storz Winter herbs I love adding herbs to my floral designs as they're a great way to add both texture and scent to an arrangement. Even better, there are various different varieties of herb that can be grown during the winter months, including thyme, sage and rosemary, so you will be spoilt for choice. Using a selection of potted herbs as table decor is also a great way of minimising wastage from your floral decor, as you can distribute them to friends and family or take them home to plant in your garden after the wedding day. Photography by Earl Wilcox Dried Strawflower While technically not seasonally specific to winter, these flowers are great to use in wintry bouquets and buttonholes as they can be grown and then dried, ready to be used for wedding florals in the winter season. Strawflowers, or Helichrysum, already have a paper-like quality to their petals, and when they're dried they retain their size, shape and colour perfectly. They're also available in a whole range of colours, from deep black, red and purple tones to white and bright pink and yellow. Of course, if you're set on using only locally grown flowers, then one good option could be asking for a bouquet of wholly British-grown dried flowers, which is a great option for a small wedding or one that requires an element of travel. The main thing is, there are plenty of options available to you - so, if you would like to chat about seasonal flowers for a winter wedding, please get in touch. Mel x

I'm always looking to enhance my skills and develop new floristry techniques, so when I saw this wedding workshop with Charlie from the Flower Fairies , I just had to give it a go. Charlie is a wedding florist with tonnes of experience under her belt, as well as championing a wispy yet flower-heavy style that I wanted to explore. It was so lovely to chat about various aspects of wedding floristry work with Charlie and the other workshop attendees, and I could have stayed there for days. As it was, Charlie's one-day wedding workshop, held in her dreamy studio space in Oxfordshire, packed plenty in a short space of time. First up, her signature hand-tied wedding bouquet style, and we were lucky enough to be given a selection of the most beautiful British and imported fresh flowers to work with. I chose one of my favourite colour palettes of pink and burgundy, mixing the most stunning statement roses and dahlias with daintier rudbeckia, cosmos, scabious and phlox. Charlie is known for a style that includes a lot of dimension and movement, with flowers at varying heights and soft, airy details such as sanguisorba, thlespi and astilbe to break up the larger flowers, and so I did just that with my design. In the afternoon we focused on creating centrepieces using sustainable methods. It's not something you're taught at college, which made it so helpful to see how another florist approached a design like this. I deliberately chose a hot red colour that I don't naturally like to design with, and found it to be a great exercise in colour theory - you don't often get to just play around with different tones like this on a day to day basis, and creatively it was a really freeing experience. I plan to take an opportunity to expand my design skills and play like this at least a couple of times every year as my business grows, and this workshop was a very worthwhile break from the norm and a chance to do just that! I loved every minute. Mel x

A few months ago I was delighted to take part in this fun retro-styled shoot over at the wonderful Tipis at Riley Green, a unique purpose-built tipi marquee wedding venue near Preston. There were a huge amount of talented people involved and it was so lovely to have the chance to meet and work with them. The brief was bright tones of pink, orange and red, so I designed some vibrant bouquets in this colourway, including Missy Piggy roses, red scabious and sugar-pink campanula as well as the very retro daisy-like tanacetum and pampas. I also added a fuchsia hydrangea to one bouquet to differentiate it from its counterpart, and I loved the finished look - it really made a statement! These images by Natasha Coco aka Cocobella Photography capture the fun vibe of the day with our brides. I also made a third bouquet for a second model couple, pictured here by Westview Photography, and I loved the contrast of white button tanacetum in this one. The whole retro look came together with hair, make-up and bridal gowns as well as the flowers, and what better venue for a groovy shoot like this than a tipi! Thanks so much to everyone who took part and helped to create these gorgeous photos.

Autumn is such a wonderful time for wedding flowers, with earthy colours and an abundance of textures to choose from. If you're getting married in autumn then you'll know that it's a great time of year for coordinating your theme and colour palette to the season (I'm looking at you, pumpkin table centres!). I love making extra-special bouquets and buttonholes using delicate little details like seed heads, berries and some of the beautifully coloured foliage that you will only find at this time of year, and here are just some of my favourite varieties of seasonal flower options to combine them with for an autumn wedding. Chrysanthemum These flowers have long been associated with autumn, and are a great choice for wedding installations thanks to their hardiness, impact and versatility. Even better, they come in a range of seasonal colours, from deep burgundies and rich reds to golden oranges and buttery yellows, as well as in various different shapes and both spray and single-headed varieties. The level of variety in this type of flower is extensive, making it a favourite bloom of many florists. One of my favourite styles of chrysanthemum, also known as 'mums' or 'xanths', are the single-headed varieties like the Vienna Copper , a large and beautifully muted flower that adds elegance and charm to autumnal wedding designs. Rudbeckia Wonderfully bright and cheery with their wide open petals and deep black centres, making them look almost daisy-like, the rudbeckia is a late-blooming flower that really makes a statement. Usually seen in vibrant orange and yellow tones that stand out in any arrangement, there are also other colours of rudbeckia available that are truly stunning. ' Sahara ' is one particular variety that's a favourite amongst gardeners and growers, which blooms in delicious pink and caramel colours, but for me it's the Cherry Brandy variety that's a particular favourite, which blooms in a rich, deep red burgundy colour that's perfect for autumnal bouquets. Zinnia Often thought of as a summer flower, but lasting right though to the autumn, the zinnia is a well-known and loved flower of many a gardener. The bright, almost neon-looking tones of the zinnia make them 'pop' in autumnal bridal bouquets and arrangements, and their cute size make them a great accent flower choice, working well alongside the larger and friller blooms of the rose, dahlia or chrysanthemum. The hot pink and bright coral colour options are some of my favourites, as well as the stunning two-toned 'Queen Lime' varieties, however they're also available in pastel tones and white. Aster Available in both shorter large-headed varieties and long, tall sprays of tiny flowers, the aster, or 'September flower', is a wonderful choice for an autumnal wedding. The lilac colour shown here is a simply stunning addition to a bridal bouquet or arrangement, adding a touch of delicacy and a pop of pastel that catches the eye. Meanwhile Callistephus, or 'China asters', have larger, ruffled Chrysanthemum-like blooms that are better used as focal flowers. The ' Duchesse Apricot ' in particular is an absolute beauty, with its straw-yellow centre giving way to a pale pastel pink colour at the tips of its petals. Helenium A slightly more left-field choice, the Helenium flower works perfectly in bronze, red and orange-toned palettes, thanks to its unique flame-toned colour range. Also known as the rather comically-named 'Sneezeweed', it works as a great transitional filler flower to tie together different colours and tones in a design. If you're planning on going all-out with a Halloween-themed wedding or using pumpkins in your styling, Helenium flowers will complement these perfectly and will add interest, contrast and a hint of drama to your florals. Are you planning an autumnal wedding for next year or beyond and want to chat flower colours, seasons and styles, I'd love to hear from you! Simply fill in an enquiry form on the wedding page of the website and I'll be in touch within 24 hours. Mel x

Over the next few months I'll be sharing inspiration to show how flowers can be used to transform a space, and hopefully give you a few new wedding decor ideas. This week, I'm focusing on the mantelpiece, a ubiquitous sight at every stately home and manor house venue, which can be given an impactful and elegant cascade of florals to really make a statement. This particular design was created for the lovely Diane at Butterfly Road, who had been tasked with flowering not only a luxury hotel where the ceremony would take place, but also a beautiful private residence in North Wales where the festivities would continue afterwards. Diane requested I create a light and airy asymmetrical installation on not one but two different mantelpieces in a magnificent drawing room where guests were to gather. These designs swept across the mantelpieces, leading down to a floor meadow on one side. We used sustainable mechanics and a mix of imported and local seasonal flowers and trailing foliage, creating an ethereal garden-gathered look. Sweetpea vines were a great way to add colour along the bottom of the design, while blossoming branches, ammi majus, orlaya, sweet william, statice, nigella, nepeta and alchemilla mollis all worked wonderfully together to create a delicate and abundant wildflower look that suited the time of year and the stunning drawing room perfectly. There are so many different options available when you love flowers and want to use them to create impact at your wedding, and the best ones for you will be dependant on the style, size and vibe of your venue. That's why I will often visit your venue before the big day, so I can measure up and make suggestions on how we can maximise floral installations and arrangements for your specific venue and ceremony spaces. If this sounds like something you would like, I'd love to hear from you! Mel x

When I was asked to be a part of the Stockport Florist Collective (Stockport being just down the road from me and blessed with a number of great florists), I was thrilled to have some flowery friends I could meet up with for some professional solidarity, camaraderie and, perhaps, collaboration. Let's be real for a second, it can be very isolating running your own business and working for yourself! The theme was Manchester icons, so the idea behind the flower installation was to emulate the Stockport viaduct, an imposing landmark on the skyline that has been around since the Victorians. We wanted to create a structure that was built from man-made objects such as metal, brick and wire, and then weave organic material through it, so the overall effect was that of nature reclaiming an old industrial icon. As you can see, it was very much a joint effort, and we all pitched in to brainstorm ideas, design, plan and prepare, before working in shifts to create the final installation. Going down to see it later that week with my family was such a proud moment, and I was so happy to see how busy the whole flower festival was, and how much attention our arches received. If you're close to Manchester and you've never been to see the festival before, keep an eye out for it next year as it's a brilliant day out and features installations from many talented florists as well as gift stalls and food shops aplenty. Thanks so much to my fellow florists MillieBuds, Indie Bloom, The Garden of Iris and Love Florals, and I'll leave you with these wonderful photos of our design, captured by photographer Fiona Finchett Mel x

Earlier this year, I collaborated with three other florists to transform the front external staircase of the stunning Grade II-listed Capesthorne Hall in Cheshire with a burst of colour. The building itself is magnificent and is a wonderfully luxurious wedding venue, so to flower up this grand staircase was a real honour. Together, the four of us wrapped foliage and florals around two pillars, then cascaded flowers down each side of the steps for an effect that was dramatic and abundant. There were several photographers shooting the day, and these images by Rachel Friend Photography really capture the colour and romance of it all. A fabulous powder-blue and white dessert table by Rosehill Cake Studio was placed at the top of the stairs and accompanied by an abundant flower meadow. It really gave the wow factor, and the delicate icing work on the main cake was absolutely exquisite. This was then brought inside, where the set-up continued with an elegantly dressed reception table styled by Zaz Events, using the same renaissance-inspired details and blue colour pops. We finished the look with more abundant table meadows along the length of the table, an inspiring idea for couples who want to make an impact with their flowers. Our model couple, Rebecca & Alex, posed next to the dressed table for these beautiful shots by Emily Robinson Photography. A huge thanks goes to Gemma from Fiore Dorato for organising the collaboration, as well as fellow florists Helen from Taylor Made Blooms and Kelly from Dahlia & Dot. It really was a fantastic day!

It's almost the end of dahlia season, so I thought it was time to turn the spotlight on this popular flower. When I speak to people at wedding fayres and have these beautiful flowers on display, they're almost always the ones couples ask me about and it's so easy to see why! These gorgeous flowers are vibrant, versatile, and utterly captivating. One of the most appealing aspects of dahlias is their sheer variety. They're available both in a wide range of colours, from soft pastels to deep, moody shades, but also in a myriad of different shapes and sizes such as tiny pompoms and large front-facing dinner-plate blooms. This gives them the unique ability to fit any wedding theme, whether you’re going for a rustic boho vibe, a classic romantic look, or even a modern, minimalist design, as well as being versatile enough to be used in everything from large installations to tiny buttonhole designs. The dahlia's unique and intricate petal structure makes this a truly show-stopping bloom, and gives florists the freedom to give them a leading role as focal points, or to pair them with other flowers, such as roses, as accents in bouquets and arrangements. While they come in lots of different varieties and shapes, their distinctiveness, often full and lush with layers of petals, adds texture and depth to a design that is unrivalled by most other flowers. Dahlias can generally be categorised in the following ways: Single-Flowered Dahlias Single-flowered dahlias are simple yet stunning. They have a single row of petals around a central disc, making them look like a classic daisy, and their open centres make them popular among pollinators like bees and butterflies. Size : Small to medium Popular Varieties : ‘Twyning’s After Eight,’ ‘ Happy Single Flame ’ Collarette Dahlias Collarette dahlias feature an outer row of flat petals, which are then accented with a collar of smaller petals surrounding the flower’s central disc, creating a frilled, double-layered look. These dahlias are elegant and eye-catching, and their contrasting petal colours add to their charm. Size : Medium Popular Varieties : ‘ Night Butterfly ,’ ‘Pooh’ Cactus Dahlias Cactus dahlias stand out for their spiky, rolled petals, which give the blooms a sharp, dynamic appearance. These petals often curl inward and are pointed at the ends, giving them a striking effect reminiscent of a starburst. Size : Medium to large Popular Varieties : ‘ Yellow Star ,’ ‘Pink Jupiter’ Semi-Cactus Dahlias Similar to cactus dahlias, semi-cactus dahlias have slightly softer, less spiky petals that still have a textured look. The petals in this variety are broad at the base and roll inward toward the tips, offering a more delicate alternative to the sharp cactus type. Size : Medium to large Popular Varieties : ‘ Purple Gem ,’ ‘Inca’ Ball Dahlias Ball dahlias are loved for their perfectly spherical shape and tightly rolled petals. These petals are evenly arranged in a spiralling pattern, creating a smooth and rounded bloom that is wonderfully symmetrical. Size : Small to medium Popular Varieties : ‘Jowey Winnie,’ ‘ Sylvia ’ Pompon Dahlias Similar to ball dahlias but smaller, pompon dahlias are tiny spheres of petals packed tightly together. Their petite, perfectly rounded appearance adds charm to any arrangement. Size : Small Popular Varieties : ‘ Small World ,’ ‘Franz Kafka’ Anemone-Flowered Dahlias Anemone dahlias are striking for their contrasting appearance. They feature a central disc made of tubular petals surrounded by one or more rows of larger, flat petals. This contrast creates a unique, eye-catching bloom that resembles an anemone, hence the name. Size : Medium Popular Varieties : ‘ Totally Tangerine ,’ ‘Mambo’ Orchid Dahlias Orchid dahlias are characterised by their delicate, long, and narrow petals, which are usually slightly twisted or curled, giving them a soft, whimsical look. Orchid dahlias are a great way to bring a sense of lightness to a bouquet. Size : Medium Popular Varieties : ‘ Honka ,’ ‘Fancy Pants’ Waterlily Dahlias As the name suggests, waterlily dahlias resemble the shape of a waterlily, with broad, flat petals that overlap to create a smooth, open flower. This variety has a sophisticated and symmetrical appearance, making them a stunning focal point in bouquets. Size : Medium to large Popular Varieties : ‘Pink Giraffe,’ ‘ Creme de Cognac ’ Dinnerplate Dahlias Dinnerplate dahlias are the giants of the dahlia family, producing blooms that can reach up to 12" in diameter! With their massive, layered petals, they offer a dramatic and impressive display that makes them the star of the show. Size : Large to very large Popular Varieties : ‘ Café au Lait ,’ ‘Emory Paul’ Peony-Flowered Dahlias Peony-flowered dahlias have a loose, open form that resembles a peony flower, with multiple layers of broad, slightly ruffled petals, giving them a soft, romantic feel. Size : Medium Popular Varieties : ‘Fascination,’ ‘ Bishop of Llandaff ' Decorative Dahlias Decorative dahlias are one of the most common types, and they feature fully double blooms with broad, flat petals that slightly curve toward the tips. These versatile flowers come in a wide range of sizes and colours, making them a particular favourite. Size : Small to large Popular Varieties : ‘ Thomas Edison ,’ ‘Kenora Lisa’ So, are you hoping to harness the beauty and charm of the dahlia in your wedding flower designs? I'd love to hear more about your plans, so please get in touch! Mel x

It's been a while since I shared images from a styled shoot, and hold on to your hats because these are some of the most stunning photographs from any I've done to date. And that's really saying something, especially as I've done so many lovely shoots this year! Michelle, the photographer, had her work cut out with quite a dark backdrop, which included a stage complete with spotlight and bright red curtain. She knocked it out of the park, and what initially seemed like quite a difficult place to shoot ended up creating some really cool and dramatic photographs. A music venue based close to Manchester's universities, The Deaf Institute would be a quirky and alternative choice of venue for music lovers. We decided to go bold with the flowers, mixing deep red-purple scabious and hellebores with pale pink roses, frothy white lisianthus and paperwhites, as well as fresh and bleached dried ruscus. I also added a black trailing silk ribbon to finish the alternative styling of these wedding florals. Emma's beautiful dress had a vintage 40's vibe, and we paired her make-up look to reflect the moody colour choice of the flowers. Michelle used the lighting to her advantage for many of the shots, and some of my favourite images have to be the black and white photographs taken against the stage spotlight - they required perfect timing but the result is pure vintage glamour. Here's the full list of suppliers for this shoot: Photography: @weddingsbymichellelouise Model: @emmasames Florist: @a_pocketfulofposies Bridal: @ameliasbridal Venue: @deafinstitute Mel x

Getting hitched in one of the summer months and not sure which flowers you would like for your wedding day? Following on from the Spring list I curated earlier this year, here's a selection of flowers currently blooming here in the UK that are perfect for using in your wedding florals to not only look beautiful, but also give a little nod to the season. Cosmos This is a great focal flower that adds bounce and movement to a wedding bouquet or arrangement, and it's one I wouldn't be without over the summer months. With a bright yellow centre that looks reminiscent of a daisy, Cosmos is a colourful, cheerful and happy flower that never fails to catch the eye. My favourite varieties of this flower include Apricotta and Apricot Lemonade, both of which feature a very pretty pinky-peach hue that works well to transition between colours in a bouquet. Sunflower The quintessential British summer flower, Sunflowers just ooze happiness and that's what makes them such a commonly chosen wedding flower. While bright yellow is the main colour associated with a sunflower, you might not know they also can be found in different colours including pink and purple, although these varieties of sunflower are not easy to find as a wedding flower. These bright yellow beauties make the most stunning focal flowers in bouquets and installations and will really make your wedding florals pop! Sweet Pea There is no prettier fragrance than that of the humble Sweet Pea in my opinion, and those of you who grow them or know someone who does will be able to attest to their strong and beautiful perfume. These dainty flowers are a wonderful transitional shape to use in a bouquet, their delicate tendrils add an interesting element and the range of different colours you can find them in means they'll often complement your chosen colour scheme. They are, however, very fragile and can easily wilt out of water, something you might need to consider if you're getting married on a hot day. Delphinium Delphiniums, and their close cousin the larkspur, are wonderful additions to wedding florals, especially if you're hoping for a meadow-style arrangement along your aisle or top table. These long, linear flowers are great for adding height and are famous for bringing a pop of bright blue to designs, however they also come in white, purple and pink too! If it's a cottage-garden vibe that you're hoping to achieve for your wedding, delphiniums are a classic choice. Hydrangea Thanks in part to its large size, Hydrangea is an elegant flower for adding bulk to a design, and has long been a popular choice for weddings. Often available in pastel or white/cream tones, florists like to use them to create asymmetrical designs with one large focal flower, or use them as a series of statement blooms in an installation display. Giving impact while also managing to look quite delicate because of its cluster of small flowers forming one larger head, it's easy to see why it's such a favourite amongst brides and florists alike. So there you have it, five beautiful flower choices for the summer months! Are there any varieties you would add to this list? I'd love to know! And, if you're planning a summer wedding and would like to chat about your flowers, please do get in touch.

This styled shoot took place in a privately owned hall in the Staffordshire countryside, which has been refurbished and turned into a luxury wedding venue. The organisers wanted understated and timeless elegance in whites and greens for this one, with plenty of froth and texture. I chose Alpe d'Huez roses and ranunculus for this frilly, dainty bouquet, accented with phlox, genista, gypsophila and eucalyptus. A cream trailing silk ribbon finished the look. This vibe continued inside the venue, and I echoed the bouquet with a small meadow box for the signage, then wired gypsophila and eucalyptus to wreath rings to create some simple table centrepieces. Adding tall floating candles to the centre of the wreaths gave the most beautiful effect. Even the cake table was given a little sprinkling of fluffy gypsophila, but do be careful of adding this near any foods as it is toxic! In our case, the top tier of this particular cake was a 'dummy' cake so it was fine to add some to the top, then we carefully placed some around the bottom without letting it touch, to match the wreath centrepieces. We had both a model couple and a single bridal model for the day, and between them they showcased quite the array of beautiful dresses! Amy, the bridal model, did a brilliant job of posing with the bouquet, and these fabulous images were taken by the Content Creator on the day, The Social Wedit.

This week we turn the spotlight on possibly the most popular wedding flower of all - the Rose. These beautiful flowers have long held a cherished place in the world of weddings, with their timeless elegance, versatility, and varied colour palette making them a perennial favourite among couples. From classic bouquets to elaborate venue decor and installations, the use of roses in weddings has a long-held history, adapting to trends while maintaining their enduring appeal. Roses have long symbolised love and passion, and one of the most enchanting aspects of roses in weddings is their incredible versatility. These blooms seamlessly adapt to various wedding styles, from the classic and romantic to the modern and avant-garde. They're a hardy flower that can hold up for a few hours out of water, making them perfect for bridal bouquets and installations, and the size of some varieties means they also work really well as a focal flower. One of the key things about the rose for me is the choice of colours available, which allows for endless customisation, ensuring the bouquet complements the bride’s gown and the overall theme of the wedding. They also come in a multitude of varieties, each with its own unique characteristics, hues and shapes. Some popular styles include: Hybrid Tea Roses Known for their classic beauty and long stems, hybrid tea roses are favoured for their elegant ruffled appearance. They boast a high petal count and come in various shades, making them a go-to choice for formal arrangements. Garden Roses Garden roses exude a vintage charm with their lush, full blooms and captivating fragrance. Their ruffled petals and larger heads make them a luxurious option for show-stopping bridal bouquets and abundant centrepiece arrangements. Spray Roses With multiple smaller blooms per stem, spray roses are perfect for helping to create fuller arrangements. They work well in buttonholes, corsages, and smaller bouquets, adding texture and dimension. Miniature Roses These petite roses are perfect for intricate designs and smaller décor elements like cake decorations or hair accessories, adding a delicate touch to the look of your wedding. So many brides request roses for their wedding day, and with this list it's easy to see why! If you would like to feature roses as part of your day and have a style, colour or even just a vibe in mind that you would like to achieve, please get in touch and together we can design the wedding florals of your dreams!
