EAST OF ENGLAND FLORIST OF THE YEAR 2026

Everything couples ask...
1. How much do wedding flowers cost?
Full wedding floral design begins at £3,500. Most couples invest 10–20% of their total wedding budget on florals — get in touch for a bespoke quote based on your day.
2. How far in advance do I need to book?
Most couples secure their date 12 to 18 months ahead, particularly for peak season or popular venues, as I take on a limited number of weddings each year to give every couple my full attention.
3. How does payment work?
A 25% non-refundable booking fee is required to secure your date. The remaining balance is due 4 weeks before the wedding, following a finalisation call. An instalment plan can be arranged if that helps.
4. Do you travel outside Essex for weddings?
Yes, while I'm based in Essex, I regularly design for weddings across Suffolk, London and further afield.
5. Can ceremony flowers be repurposed at the reception?
Absolutely — I always encourage my couples to reuse and repurpose their flowers throughout the day, so nothing goes to waste.
6. Do we keep the vases and containers?
It depends: plastic containers are yours to keep, but all glassware stays with me.
7. Will I see a mockup before the wedding?
Mockups aren't included in the price — my couples trust me to bring their vision to life. If you'd like one, a mockup can be arranged, charged at the same price as the finished piece.
8. How many weddings do you take per day?
Just one — every wedding gets my full attention on the day.
9. Will I get to pick flower varieties?
I design freely within the brief we create together, working with what's in season and what suits your vision, rather than a fixed pick-list of varieties.
10. Do you deliver and set up?
Yes — delivery and setup are included in the price. If I need to stay on to move something later in the day (an arch from ceremony to reception, for example), that's included too.
11. Do you offer bouquet preservation?
I don't offer this myself, but I'm happy to recommend someone who does — just ask.
12. Can I see examples of your past work?
Absolutely — browse the portfolio for real weddings across Essex and beyond.
13. What's the first step to working together?
It starts with a simple enquiry. I'll come back to you personally, usually within a few days, to arrange a relaxed initial chat about your wedding and your floral vision.
14. What should I include in my enquiry?
Your venue, date and any inspiration images are all helpful — but don't worry if you don't have everything yet. Many couples enquire before settling on a date or venue, whether they arrive with a full Pinterest board or just a feeling, and we'll shape the vision together from there.
15. Will I get to meet you before I book?
Yes — we'll start with a relaxed call so you can get a feel for how I work. There's never any pressure to decide on that first conversation.
16. What makes your floral style different from a traditional florist?
My work leans into nature rather than against it — wild, organic and full of movement, designed to feel like it grew in place rather than being assembled from a catalogue.
