'...I am not sure how to even begin to say the biggest thank you to you, Suzie, for all of the gorgeous flowers. The arrangements in the church and the tent were simply magnificent and our bouquets the perfect balance of cottage informality and wedding glamour - that pop of reddy pink in my bouquet was perfect! Really, everything was stunning and we have had so many lovely comments from people about how wonderful the flowers were...'

Wedding at Christ Church Carrowdore & Private Reception
'We chose to get married in the Spring because it is my favourite season. I love the small, delicate flowers like forget-me-nots and bluebells, and had my heart set on those for our wedding. When we had to change our wedding date due to the pandemic to the end of August I had no idea about flowers because I had my heart set on a spring wedding with spring flowers. Luckily, Florestina (my Mother!!) knew exactly what to do!
Due to her broad knowledge of flowers, Florestina was able to create the style and feel that I wanted with flowers that were available at the end of August. Tiny white September flower, pure white eucryphia blooms, airy cosmos, scented sweet pea and delicate ferns made up my bouquet, and I couldn’t have been happier. I even had a tiny sprig of brunnera in my bouquet which resembled my beloved forget me nots. In the church we had real birch trees, and crab apples which we planted in the garden afterwards as a lasting memory of our wedding day.'
