When I met Ruth for our initial consultation at Jesmond Dene House, I immediately knew we were a good fit for each other!  We got on well from the start and she loved my work. We'd also both been through grief so could relate to each other. She was confident in me and my work so just trusted me to 'do my thing'. Ruth filled in my survey recently and I just love what she wrote - "I found you by going through photographers' albums on Facebook. They had plenty of examples from r

So seeing as it's been a little while since I blogged (months ago!), I thought i'd kickstart the new year with this vision of prettiness at Doxford Barns in Northumberland. We're so lucky in Northumberland, as we have a huge amount of wedding venues to choose from due to our region's industrial & Agricultural history and stately homes. I think we often take that for granted! It's always lovely to see old buildings being revamped and reused like they are at Doxford Barns! Emi

I absolutely LOVE working with tropical leaves so I was over the moon when Lucy got in touch and asked for them for her big day at Charlton Hall. I'm their recommended Florist so CLICK HERE to ask about your own big day there! Stunning images by Fire and Ice Photography. They really are works of art! #CharltonHall #weddingFlowers #weddingflorist #tropicalleaves #Whitepeony #stylishwedding #NorthumberlandWedding #bride #bridesmaid #bridalbouquet #bridesmaidflowers

I love a bit of colour now and then, so I was so pleased when Katie & Fergul said they wanted as much colour as possible. We even had some top notch Sunflowers which took pride of place in all the arrangements. Sarah Jane Ethan was the perfect photographer for them. Click HERE to head to her website!

Emily & James were just the loveliest couple to work with and Crook Hall in the heart of Durham, was perfect for them. Beautiful sunshine, beautiful gardens and of course..ahem... beautiful flowers. Paul Liddement Wedding Stories was the genius behind the lens, so give him a shout if you haven't booked your photographer yet! Marrying at Crook Hall or just love the look of my flowers?

So nobody can predict the British weather, especially when you book your wedding day so far ahead. Even the weather man gets it wrong sometimes. But the new Mr & Mrs Hegarty (and gorgeous son Jenson), certainly never expected the amount of rain that appeared in Otterburn on 10th August! We're talking sand bags at the door, an overflowing river, firemen preparing to evacuate them, a two hour power cut and tuna sandwiches & wine for their wedding breakfast.  But I love the fact

I just loved working on this super stylish and uber-cool wedding at Northumberland's newest and funkiest venue, Charlton Hall. I'm proud to say that I'm a recommended Florist there! Rachael and Michael were a lovely couple to work with and I'm so glad they chose me to make their flowers. Rachael is a Social Media Influencer so everything had to look tip top! They opted for stylish and classic white and green flowers, which match their style and the venue perfectly! Images

We are so lucky in Northumberland. We have so many beautiful wedding venues in our small corner of the globe. So much so that many people travel long distances to get married here. I have had Brides travel from Holland, Dubai, France, India, Canada, as well as  our very own big cities such as London, Manchester and Essex. Anum & Jack travelled from London to Woodhill Hall in Otterburn for their New Year's Eve nuptials and I was honoured that they chose me as their Florist! Im

January 26th marked the start of my 2019 weddings, with Emma & Steve's beautiful city wedding at The Biscuit Factory. The ceremony arch, the pretty bouquets, the centrepieces, it really was a pretty one to start the year with. Emma and Steve booked me quite some time ago and they've been an absolute pleasure to work with. I tend to book such lovely couples and these guys were no exception.

I'm immensely proud to have been invited to be a recommended supplier at this great venue . I always love working at venues like Woodhill because it lends itself to lots of different styles, and this allows me the freedom to really tailor the flowers to the bride's needs. Woodhill is fast becoming one of the region's wedding hotspots and we're being asked to work there more and more often. With the ceremony taking place in their beautiful orangery, the happy couple could enjo

I often look back on this photoshoot, organised by Great British Bash event stylists, with fondness. Such beautiful rich tones and lavish decoration!

I get to work with some absolutely lovely couples, in fact, that's a big plus for me, that these nice people (with good taste in flowers!) want to work with me. It makes my job really enjoyable and satisfying when a Couple tell me at the end that i've made their wedding planning so enjoyable and that they loved their flowers. Danielle & Mark were no exception. Their look was a blend of natural yet luxurious and they chose white flowers with green foliage. Their foliage and S

Last Summer, the stunning wedding of Lucy & Paul took place at Middleton Lodge in North Yorkshire and I was lucky enough to be asked by this lovely couple to create all the flowers. They were an absolute pleasure to work with (including Mum, Pat!) and I love the venue, so this was a win win for me!

I was lucky enough to be asked by Sally & Myles to create the flowers for their big day last year. They were a lovely couple to work with and just trusted me to 'do what I do'.

A couple of years ago I was lucky enough to be part of Abby & Matt's big day at Jesmond Dene House. Just as lucky was that Matt's sister, Nicole, came all the way from Newfoundland to photograph this lovely event. Lucky because this was the start of a great relationship with Nicole; and she now runs week long workshops with her Canadian photography students over here in Newcastle. As part of those, we hold a styled Bridal shoot and it's a great creative process for us. I'd lo

Last year I had the pleasure of being asked to create some beautiful florals for Natalie and Scott's wedding at The Mining Institute and St. Mary's Heritage Centre. Now, just a short few month's later, Natalie has started her own wedding planning and wedding design business! She can coordinate every part of your wedding for you with her 'Dont Lift a Finger' package or just give you advice/practical help with her 'Helping Hand' package. She also offers stationery design, every

As with all walks of life, trends come and go in floristry. You never know when a style or particular type of item is going to become popular or regain popularity. The trick is to try to be one step ahead and be ready to make suggestions that are on-trend. One particular item making a big resurgence with brides coming to Floral Quarter is the flower crown. Flower crowns have many origins, an ancient Greek item, work at special occasions and given to victorious soldiers, to si
