Jess & Pat were married on a gorgeous September day, under the apple trees in the Orchard, guests shading themselves under pretty parasols.  “There really aren’t enough words to express our thanks for all of your hard work. The food was fabulous, the flowers an absolute dream, and you made the whole process wonderfully smooth. […]

MAXIMALIST DESIGN “If ‘less’ is more, imagine how much more ‘more’ can be” – Flora Best aged about 7 yrs old We are rubbing our little hands together with glee as design trends lean away from simple and minimalist and towards bigger, better and immersive floral installations. Overgrown bold floral arrangements, may queen flower crowns […]

Maddy & Hugo were married on a beautiful day in May. The Hawthorn hedgerow’s were blousy and blossoming, matching the billowy wafts of white in their wedding flowers,  the sun came out, and there was a surprise twist at the end.

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there. The Petal & Feast girls were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of sugar plums danced […]

Vix & Sam – What a gorgeous, fun pair! Super lovely, super stylish, super fun. Vix and Sam wanted a relaxed, boho festival wedding, in their words; “flowers, family feasting, an outside humanist blessing, dancing, fire pits and stargazing”. Rounded off with some bell tent magic from our pals at Beautiful Bells.   They both wanted […]
