Here in London, it's not unusual for us to be asked to do just the bridal flowers for a couple's wedding - a bouquet and a buttonhole, sometimes a hairpin or a bridesmaid's posey too.
Often, it's because the couple don't want a 'big day' at all; they want a smaller day, a lovely day, a quiet ceremony in the town hall before meeting all their mates down the boozer. Old school. Like our parents did. Before the days of hired-out 6ft initials and hen dos in Ibiza.
Or sometimes the couple are having the big day too, but in a field or a tipi, on a beach or up a mountain, and they just need to get the legal bit nailed down first.
One day, I'd like us to do the flowers for a couple who haven't told anyone they are getting married. A wildly romantic London elopement. Perhaps they'll even ask One Flew Over to be their two witnesses when we drop off the delivery.
*Sigh*
Recently, we did they bridal flowers for Hayley & Rich and Caz & Matthew. (Two separate weddings, although we would totally be up for doing the flowers for a union of four...)
Hayley & Rich were after bright colours and tons of fun. They got married on a beautifully sunny day at Stoke Newington Town Hall.

Caz and Matthew, who married at The Mayfair Library, opted for vintage romance with burgundy tones in their bouquet, hair pin and buttonhole.

London weddings - just the best.
