NEVER QUITE MATCHING ⁠ -⁠ Floristry is a funny

NEVER QUITE MATCHING ⁠
-⁠
Floristry is a funny old job. I'll be interested if any florists or any other creatives will find this too! ⁠
-⁠
As my weddings have grown, and my need for larger orders and more staff has increased, I've been trying to create more 'recipes' for my designs. When you've got hundreds of stems to choose from and lots to make, you don't want that feeling of horror when you're left with a few sad looking flowers and 4 bouquets left to make... ⁠
-⁠
So I've been allocating flowers and quantities for different designs but to be honest... I'm finding it way less accurate than the way I was doing it before (which, I'll be honest, wast just looking and it and 'vibing it 😂')⁠
-⁠
I could give 25 stems for one table design and have 5 leftover. I could give the same to another and have a huge gap in one side! Also, 2 designs with exactly the same ingredients can look completely different. That's why I never have those perfect matching bridesmaid bouquets that I'd always seen before I became a florist. I often admire the skills to pull together identical designs but it's just not within me at all! I select the flowers, pull them all together in a way they look most happy and off they go into the world 🥰⁠

SIMPLE TABLESCAPES ⁠
-⁠
In a world where tables are style to within an inch of their lives, I loved this clean, simple design with a focus on the flowers. with a few coloured bud vases and gorgeous tapered candles are sometimes all you need!⁠
-⁠
I also had to share this image because of that perfect little peony, this is my favourite stage of them opening and it usually lasts all of 20 minutes when I want them to stay that way! Also, I'm pretty sure the table names were places in Cornwall (or at least this one is!) and it's one of my favourite places in the world 🌴⁠
-⁠
There's a little hint of one of the meadows we created in the background which was a colourful and wild design against the beautiful sage green backdrop of the Bingham Riverhouse. ⁠

BLOUSEY BOUQUET 🥰⁠
-⁠
In my 5ish years as a florist now, I have NEVER had bouquet photos back that are like these ones. I was so giddy when I saw them! I'll be sharing more this week from this stunning wedding earlier this year in Richmond. ⁠
-⁠
A huge thanks to @jessicalilyphotography for making my bouquets look totally EPIC. ⁠

GERBERAS 🌸⁠
-⁠
I'll be really honest, when I first started floristry I was not a fan of the humble gerbera. Only seeing them in bright garish colours, they literally look like how a small child would draw a flower. I thought they were a bit simple and boring. ⁠
-⁠
Fast forward a few years and I'm a big fan of them! There are so many amazing varieties that have been developed and some truly beautiful colours too. I've grown to love their simplicity and just to know that they're going to look beautiful. ⁠
-⁠
Not the wiring so much though, I'm not sure many of us enjoy that part! 😐⁠
-⁠
So have I won you over? Love them or hate them?⁠

This was some extreme repurposing here. If you've followed me for a while (or if you're one of my couples...) you'll know I'm a big fan of repurposing your flowers! ⁠
-⁠
These car flowers were, just a few hours before... a flower arch! I shared it in the last post so go and have a peek 👀⁠
-⁠
I can't promise every design can be reused, some of then are really tricky but I'll always give it a go! ⁠

Everything about this scene is epic! I adored making this floral arch with it's suspended candy clouds and also bringing some of those designs into the lounge styling below. ⁠
-⁠
In the next post I'm going to show you where we repurposed the arch flowers. I bet you'll never guess 🤐⁠
