Fabulous Find: Florist in the Forest

On the hunt for pink flower inspiration this week we sourced the help of Katherine Craft, owner of Florist in the Forest. We had been meaning to catch up with Katherine for sometime as we’d heard so much about her gorgeous flowers. Along with her husband, Katherine not only creates her designs but also grows her own flowers at her studio and cutting garden in Broadwater Forest on the Kent and East Sussex border. This means the flowers she uses are the freshest and most beautiful they can possibly be.

Katherine tells us” as with all brides I have a no obligation consultation where we can discuss the flowers and styles for their day. This means I get to know the bride a little, which is key in creating designs that will best suit their wedding. During the growing season I take them around the cut flower garden so they can see the flowers that they might want to have. This consultation also allows us to talk about getting the most from any budget and plans for the big day.”

Katherine’s designs have a natural, country-style which will make any wedding feel relaxed and timeless. For more about her work visit her blog and be inspired!

Black & White Wedding Bouquets

This year we went off to the Portrait Gallery to see the movie stars exhibition which gave us so much inspiration for glamorous black and white themed weddings.

A mono theme is a good low-budget way to add great effect to your day as it’s not hard to source black and white products (colour matching can be very difficult and end up costing you a fortune).

Flowers can be difficult to get right though but these great bouquets from Marta Stewart show you how it can be done.
