Let Us Grow Your Flowers…
At WLFC we grow beautiful, scented, seasonal flowers free of pesticides, chemicals or any nasties whatsoever between late March and early November. Our wedding flowers are inspired by the seasonal ingredients we are able to cut at that unique and fleeting moment for your wedding. With such changeable weather in the UK, we never promise specific ingredients but do always celebrate the unusual and the importance of scent. There is no ‘off-the-peg’ with growing flowers and we think your day will be the richer for it.
The process of designing your wedding flowers should be a collaborative one. We draw on our past experience as Producers in fashion and theatre to ensure you’re spending your budget effectively to enjoy the most memorable and beautiful flowers possible.
If you would like to include our flowers in your wedding celebrations, we offer three ways to work together:
‘Growers Edit’ Buckets of Flowers
You provide a loose colour palette and we’ll cut you a curated bucket of 50 flower stems and 20 stems of accompanying foliage. We can provide some guidance on how many buckets to order based on the size of the wedding and number of vessels you have to fill but suggest you do some trial arrangements to test this in advance.
The Growers Edit Bucket costs £90 and we recommend booking this in as soon as your wedding date is confirmed.
Typically our couples collect the flowers two days before the event to give you plenty of time to let the flowers rest, then work with them the day before your celebration. Couples collect from our N22 site bringing their own clean, watertight buckets to transfer the flowers into. Builders buckets are perfect! Always bring a couple more than you think you’ll need to prevent the delicate petals getting crushed in transit. Minimum order is 1 bucket and can be placed by emailing us.
Bouquets & Buttonholes
Want seasonal, locally grown flowers but aren’t feeling confident about creating the bridal party flowers yourself? Making bouquets and buttonholes is something we love to do! After an initial chat over email, phone or zoom we agree a brief together encompassing palette, ingredients likely to be in season and consider any reference images you’ve found. We never work to a template design and always provide flowers that are a true celebration of whatever was at its flowery best on the day of your wedding! Our buttonholes feature fresh and dried ingredients so elements of the buttonhole preserve beautifully as a keepsake for you.
We have a minimum spend of £700 plus delivery costs for orders for buttonholes & bouquets. We’ll cut your ingredients, design and carefully plan your wedding flowers including sourcing botanically-dyed silk ribbon for the bridal bouquet and lovingly packaging and transporting your flowers on the big day. Delivery costs are calculated and quoted in line with courier costs.
ALL the Flowers
In 2023 we are excited to once again be offering a limited number of full design service weddings for couples.
If you’re thinking big and you’d like to discuss tumbling floral arches, aisle meadows, or any other venue floristry, we can work with you to oversee all aspects of design and execution to create something amazing.
We work together from an initial venue recce and design brainstorm to provide suggestions of how best to bring our seasonal flowers into your celebration and make the biggest impact in your venue. We focus primarily on weddings in London and the surrounding areas and our minimum spend is £3,000. We focus our efforts and hard work throughout the year growing the flowers in our cutting garden which, while productive, is not a show garden and demands all of our time! We therefore are unable to offer tours for prospective clients or initial wedding consultations free of charge.
If you’d like us to visit a venue and discuss flowers with you ahead of booking we charge a recce fee starting from £100 (redeemable against the minimum spend once booking is confirmed) plus travel costs to meet and provide some initial ideas for you.
If you’d like to inquire about either buttonholes & bouquets or our full design service then complete our consultation form and tell us what you know so far and we’ll be back in touch within 5 working days.
A note on winter weddings
In the winter months we work with dried flowers we have lovingly preserved and squirrelled away throughout the summer. Growing flowers is a demanding (and exhausting!) process so we aim to take some time off in the winter months. If however you’re interested in dried flowers for your wedding, fill out the form and we’ll let you know if we might be able to help.
We’re delighted to be a Green Union and Natural Wedding Company recommended supplier as an environmentally friendly and ethical London wedding florist.
