Frequently Asked
Questions
WHEN DO I NEED TO BOOK A FLORIST?
Book the date as soon as you can. We have bookings 1-2 years in advance but also have brides who book flowers for weddings happening in a few weeks. As long as we have no other weddings that day we can work with you to ensure you get exactly the flowers you want for your wedding. Once you have booked, you can relax and decide on your flowers whenever is suitable for you. We generally suggest having a discussion about the full details once you know what your dress will be like and possibly the bridesmaids colours. We ask for a £100 booking fee to secure your date and only book one wedding on this day to ensure it is dedicated to you. This deposit is non refundable but will be deducted from your final invoice.
I DON'T LIVE IN THE LAKE DISTRICT, IS THIS A PROBLEM?
Not at all, we deal with many brides who are too busy or live further afield so can't come to meet us in person. We will work just as hard with you on the phone or over email to ensure we have a great understanding of your style and what you want from your wedding flowers. We will gather as much information as possible e.g. the style of your gown and the bridesmaids dresses, any photographs of flowers that you love etc and all this can be done at a distance. Of course we will also come and visit you at the venue or have you com to the studio if you wish to meet us in person.
I AM NOT SURE ABOUT WHAT STYLE OF BOUQUET, FLOWERS ETC TO HAVE FOR OUR WEDDING?
We have a lot of experience working with brides who are unsure of what flowers to choose and can guide you in matching your flowers to your own personal styling, your wedding dress and aims for the wedding. We have lots of images on the website and in our wedding album that can help you with your decisions.

Yes we do, either pearl or diamante style.
WHAT TIME WILL MY FLOWERS GET DELIVERED?

We can discuss this in detail but there are no set rules. We have had couples who opt for a very traditional approach and others who wish for a contemporary look.

We would recommend a hand tied bouquet in either the colours or theme of the wedding or the colours that would go best with there home décor.

I AM HAVING MY CEREMONY BETWEEN CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR IS THAT A PROBLEM?
There are a few flowers which are not available but we can source your flowers directly from Holland the world largest flower market. If your ceremony is on the 27-28th Dec we would have to buy your flowers on the 24th. Any dates after the 28th and we would buy your flowers on the 28th auction.
MY CEREMONY IS IN A LISTED BUILDING. I WOULD LOVE CANDLES BUT CAN I HAVE THEM?
We would contact your venue to discuss this with them but we are able to place candle in storm lanterns, candelabra etc so they are not directly on any furniture etc.
