More about the gang...
We are extremely fortunate to have a wonderful team of florists and display technicians
who bring our vision to life. They know how to problem solve in the moment
and are up to date with the latest tips, tricks and techniques.
With a wealth of experience and a never-ending supply of enthusiasm and stamina,
we know we simply could not do what we do without them.
When we are on-site, it is of course a huge team effort. Each one of us has an important role to play.
From unloading the van to organising the stock by area and starting to prep the big impact areas,
we work relentlessly until we can see the look we have promised our clients come together. When we are delighted with our creations, we sweep up and make sure everything is tidy and organised for the next day.
our florists
Chloe, Kate, Eilish, Emma and Kimberly:
a cheery, cheeky and talented bunch!
They are creative and imaginative at all times.
our technicians
Sian, Justine and Tracey: our three superwomen have extensive visual display experience from Liberty, Selfridges and Harvey Nichols. They are unfazed by extremely tall ladders and high ceilings. They allow us to push creative boundaries and achieve bigger, better and bolder installations.
In order to deliver a high standard of event design, we need hours of labour-intensive prep.
We carry this out at our little barn in High Ongar, the day before decorating at your venue.
This means that when we arrive on-site, our flowers are prepped,
table decorations are already in vases; bottles and everything else have been packed with precision.
The van is crammed full of all the equipment needed to exceed expectations.
Our team is key to our success, throughout prep and on-the-day support.
We pay them a realistic salary, valuing their skills, experience, knowledge and dedication.
This cost is reflected in the labour section of our quotes.
Reuse, Re-purpose and Recycle
Each season, we strive to enhance our methods, minimise our waste, boost our sustainability, and find new purposes for all that we can.
How do we do this?
EMBRACING THE SEASONS...we use seasonal flowers!
A garden-led approach creates a unique floral theme that works harmoniously with your wedding date. Buying flowers spontaneously maximises flexibility and provides more blooms for your budget.
RE-PURPOSE...post-ceremony, some elements can be deconstructed. Meadow bases, antique pots or any mobile items can be transferred to your reception space. Use floral-filled pots to liven up the bar area. Meadow bases can be placed at the end of long table runs and bouquets can be popped into vases and used in cosy corners, by the cake or on the gift table.
At the end of the wedding, we encourage our couples to gift guests with flowers. If anything is left for us to collect, we compost or hang up to dry for the autumn.
GOING GREEN...another great option is plants.
Seasonal plants and herbs in lime-washed pots work beautifully along aisles and can be easily re-purposed as table centres. Afterwards, place them on your patio or plant them in your garden as a living memento of the day!
Additionally to all of this, we have a large barn full of upcycled collected antique props. We maintain these and reuse them every season. From faded rugs, vintage trays, stone urns, collected crystal, brass candlesticks, and wooden and copper frames to fabric and fairy lights; we avoid flash fads and single-use purchases.
Throughout each year we will continue on this important journey.
