How we create flowers for a winter wedding with all British flowers

The British flowers season supplies year round. At my small flower farm I may choose to grow for harvest between April and October, but my Cornish colleagues supply their locally grown flowers all year round. Join me as I create three different looks: for my regular hotel client, a small party with autumnal flowers, and with jewel colours for a wedding at magnificent Elizabethan country house @northcadburycourtuk
Wedding flowers at this time of year must reflect the season and not try to be too summery nor Christmassy either. I hope we achieve the objective with these jewel colours and gorgeous autumn foliage.

That bouquet is utterly and completely beautiful. My favourite bouquet of all time. You are such a talented lady.

[@theflowerfarmer]

ah thanks Mel - I loved it too x

Busy clutter is wonderful. It provides energy to the room. It inspires sorting, organizing and creating.

[@theflowerfarmer]

I long for Wednesday when there will be a good clear out x

Love your channel! Such stunning arrangements! Thank you

I would love to see you do each step in a timelapse, I think it would be so great to see the arrangements evolve...

[@theflowerfarmer]

I do sometimes Timelapse's - have a scroll back through my channel and you'll find plenty - equally if you'd like to learn detail I hold lots of online workshops and demos which you can book your place on to find out step by step to do yourself x

[@georginahollenbach8609]

@@theflowerfarmer unfortunately I can't afford to do your workshops right now. One day hopefully 🙏

[@janebaker966]

I want to get married there! Just the little matter of finding a groom!

Thank you! 😊 x

gorgeous colour mix

[@theflowerfarmer]

Thank you! 😊 x

[@alisonbwise]

Those flowers are absolutely gorgeous, and the colors are perfection. I might have thought that bright blue would fight with it, but it actually kind of makes it. Adding the feverfew was brilliant. W Very well done 💚

[@theflowerfarmer]

thank you x

[@lynnej7219]

Lovely tour of the venue thank you. Took me years to learn schizostylis and now they change the name lol. I have the pink one in my garden. Lovely to see at this time of the year. The flowers were gorgeous and looked beautiful.

[@christinezarvis4761]

My goodness, Georgie. You are the master. Works of art to be sure. I was wondering (of all things) about your butterfly mugs. Do you sell them? 😊

[@theflowerfarmer]

no I don't sell the mugs but you can order them from Rachel Redder-Smith designs - I love them x

[@elegantlyknackeredstyle]

Wonderful! Thank heavens I found you whilst desperately looking for inspiration for a late January wedding bouquet. BTW, I think we share a friend - Amanda Russel? Anyway, back to the point. I faff with flowers for my own home, but my friend has asked me to make a small rustic wedding bouquet for her wedding at the very end of the month. This has sent me into a bit of a spin. The brief is very loose, and I have no other instructions other than pheasant feathers and rustic. I believe even at this time of year I could make something similar to this bridal bouquet (far more amateur but along the lines of). This type of bouquet mirrors my own style. Even the hedgerows are sparse at this time of year, but I think it might be possible. Would you agree? Do you have any pointers for a late January wedding? I am wondering whether to buy some English tulips. What do you think? The wedding dress is bright blue with navy blue shoes and she fancies pheasant feathers in the bouquet. Any tips or tricks would be gratefully received. With thanks Louisa.

[@theflowerfarmer]

well hello there! Yes Amanda's a great buddy. Don't panic about the wedding. Look for lovely things you think will work well in her posy and enjoy yourself. Imagine you were making it for yourself - if you like it and would carry it she will too xxx deff add pheasant pheathers phor phun xxx

[@elegantlyknackeredstyle]

@@theflowerfarmer Thank you! I feel a lot calmer after having a practice run at the weekend. Even with just foliage from my garden it looked quite pretty.

[@amyjones2490]

I wish my florist would have told me how heavy a large bridal bouquet would be. I would have opted for a much smaller one if I’d known.

[@theflowerfarmer]

you're so right - bridal bouquets can weigh a ton! x

[@traceyowers9095]

Lovely. Are you going to show you making the wreaths.

[@theflowerfarmer]

I made a short a week or two ago when I made the first of them - have a scroll back and you’ll see xxx

[@NapoleonIII1]

What is the name of the mini glad is, please.

[@theflowerfarmer]

no mini glads in this mix... ???

[@NapoleonIII1]

@@theflowerfarmer Sorry they look like mini glads, l mean the lilies in the arrangement, which now have a new name. l have looked at Kaffir lilies and they show clivias, the ones you have used do not look like clivias to me, Many thanks for replaying indeed.

[@janspenno2241]

What will you use your current studio for?

[@theflowerfarmer]

we are planning ahead so that Googie can come and live here if she likes when the time comes x

[@lilacDaisy111]

When you say "British flowers" do you mean "British grown" or "British species" I wonder.

[@theflowerfarmer]

British grown x
