Wedding flower check list

There’s been an overwhelming flurry of wedding inquiries lately and we thought a check list of our process might be helpful for those of you that haven’t done anything similar before. As every wedding we create is bespoke and completely personal, it’s important that we know as much detail as possible of your big day. It may seem like a hassle to start off with but we can promise I’ll make the process easier nearer the time. Details we’d always need to know when we first meet:  *are you working with a wedding planner, if so, who and what props are they providing  *your chosen colours and all the other colours to match, napkins, saches, chair covers, bridesmaids dresses, candles, stationery...
