I visited Deepdale Farm, over on the North East side of Yorkshire, as soon as T & K has hired me as their florist. What an amazing blank canvas! This beautiful space offers two barns, as well as a rotunda and ‘whiskey shed’, outdoor space, an amazing balcony, a cabin for the married couple and…
Warehouse: A Northern Monk Wedding
An industrial-look wedding full of bright cheer in Leeds, from Mike & Annis Mike and Annis were so relaxed, they approached me only a month or so before their big day.

December wedding flowers? Grown totally in the UK? For some, it’s a tough sell. Winter.

Not many people would think weeds are aspirational as your wedding flowers, would they?! But weeds are just wildflowers, and we think wildflower wedding bouquets are particularly special. Our British wildflowers (it’s only a weed if it’s in the wrong place, as my dad used to say) are a truly ephemeral and local vision of…
