Georgie - this was fun. I'm not sure if I''ll get brave enough to do a wedding but maybe - because you make it look - easier than I thought. I would love to have a video on the things you grow for greenery. If you've already done it, don't worry, I'm working my way through your videos. Blessings.

[@theflowerfarmer]

funnily enough I'm doing a demo this evening on foliage for floristry - you can book a spot for the live chat on my website x

[@marie9244]

Gorgeous bouquets. I say if you can’t say something nice about the subject don’t say anything at all! You present just perfectly don’t change a thing Georgie you are great just the way you are. Easy to follow and understand. I fast forward some other flower farmers because they are boring, never fast forward you. Thanks Georgie

[@theflowerfarmer]

Thanks so much 😊 x

[@oldtavernfarm]

We've had an amazing cool, wet August too!! Looks like our second cut of hay will be abundant, and our vegetables have been so prolific!! ❤

[@theflowerfarmer]

it's so much better than last year isn't it x

[@kerryfirehorse]

The bride’s bouquet is stunning.

[@theflowerfarmer]

thank you x

[@maryschlotter108]

Another wonderful video! Everything was so pretty. I love watching you pick and select all the beautiful blooms. So clever the little test tubes for the buttonholes!

[@theflowerfarmer]

Lovely feedback - thank you x

[@deborahclatworthy3885]

Beautiful …. as always. ❤ Your videos always brighten up my day.

[@theflowerfarmer]

Wow, thank you x

Great job, colorful and fun! Thanks, see you next time!💐🌝

[@theflowerfarmer]

thank you x

[@RosesDewdrop-eo2kl]

B- roll is so nice...hope you can pause to smell the daisies...long enough to do close ups and set to slow motion in edit. It's not the the destination 🍂 🌹🍃🍻🍁 but the journey 🍐🍎🍏

[@theflowerfarmer]

maybe I should go on a course and learn to do all this stuff xxx

[@joannefildew9092]

Fabulous, thank you. I’ll echo other comment, love your personality and the format of video you share. Been my first year really going for it with a much larger cut flower garden to share bunches with friends and family members. Been fantastic, the dahlias are wonderful this year here and sweet peas have been bonkers, such joy! 😊

[@theflowerfarmer]

sounds great - xxx

[@mollypitcher9380]

Good job!🌸

[@jennyjohnson9012]

I loved everything about this video, watching you work is so satisfying! and the outcome is always stunning. Sat here with my morning coffee taking it all in xx

[@theflowerfarmer]

glad you enjoyed it x

[@lynnej7219]

Watching this on Saturday with the rain pouring down but all these beautiful flowers lifts the spirits. Lovely

[@theflowerfarmer]

thank you x

[@JohannaHolland]

You mentioned it in spring, “rain at st swithin's day…” 😊wonderfull button bunch!

[@theflowerfarmer]

I did and it did x

[@kobedeister5234]

What fabulous colours for a wedding.

[@theflowerfarmer]

I agree x

[@ahermitslife3684]

I love the respect that you show to all of nature, including the rain. I have stopped watching the local weather because the meteorologist's opinion seems to be that there are two types of weather, good and bad. I have come to believe that is a crappy way to think of it. It is what it is.

[@theflowerfarmer]

totally agree x

[@stephaniestatnick]

This was so helpful, planning ahead and holding flowers for an event. Thank you for sharing your knowledge:)

[@theflowerfarmer]

Glad it was helpful! x

[@kellymcfadden7514]

Exquisite ❤

[@theflowerfarmer]

Thank you so much! x

[@sandraconner6968]

Stunning bridal bouquet ❣️

[@theflowerfarmer]

Thank you so much 😊 x

[@blobblob4468]

Excellent planning there Georgie. Hope the happy couple managed to dodge the showers today and that your beautiful flower farm didn't get too battered by the storm. Which is the rose please in the bouquets and buttonholes. Thanks ❤

[@theflowerfarmer]

there are two apricot roses: Judi Dench and Port Sunlight x

[@blobblob4468]

​@@theflowerfarmerthank you... Can't have too many roses ❤

[@mhubertcfi]

I love the lighter atriplex but now am going to have to source the rubra! So dramatic ❤

[@theflowerfarmer]

go for it x

[@catherineengle4196]

I really loved the bouquet and those colors were wonderful. God bless Georgie 😊

[@theflowerfarmer]

Thanks so much 😊 x

[@wendycullingworth3879]

The weather is certainly being manipulated here in New Zealand just as much as you are experiencing! It's very sad that anyone would to do such a thing. Mind blowing really! Nevertheless, you have the talent to step around anything thrown at you and your creativity glows from all you do. 👍🌼🌼🌻🌻🌺🌺

[@theflowerfarmer]

thank you Wendy x

[@lorrainedilks4053]

I think the weather in New Zealand at the moment is from the Tongan underwater volcano that put vast amounts of water into the stratosphere. It's also causing the depletion of the ozone layer above us which is going to affect our weather later on.

[@mirandamichaelis1066]

Wonderful video. Thanks Georgie. I would love to see how you pack them all up for the bride to collect and transport. Also, will you lend her all your vases and buckets?

[@theflowerfarmer]

sometimes I show how they pack up in the car or van - have a scroll through the wedding flowers vids and quite often you'll see the process - in this case they were collected from me so no complicated pack up - yes I lend vases and buckets and 99 times out of 100 get everything back x

[@helenrider8781]

I am 5ft 2 as well and the flowers are beautiful

[@theflowerfarmer]

all the best people are 5ft 2 x

[@josefgallagher6971]

Wonderful presentation and a very informative tutorial. Logic will take you from A to Z Imagination will take you anywhere. Professor Albert Einstein Imagine a career where by you contribute to help make one of the best days in a couple,family and friends one and only life. Showers for the flowers madam.. Thank you very much indeed.

[@theflowerfarmer]

you're welcome x

[@tinalee2423]

I have a Wollerton Hall rose bush here in SC, USA and it smells SOOOO delicious!

[@theflowerfarmer]

I adore Wollerton Old Hall x

[@40JoCharles]

Beautiful 🥰

[@theflowerfarmer]

thank you x

[@caitegraceify]

Hello, I was hoping you could tell us what that beautiful greenery is that you were trimming up for the mixed buckets?

[@theflowerfarmer]

squizzing through I think I see amaranth, physocarpus and mint xxx

[@caitegraceify]

@@theflowerfarmer thank you! I love your videos and so does my mom ☺️

[@galerussell1710]

I like the filming exactly as you do it, but I do wish we could see the flowers in situ of the wedding itself. It would also be interesting to see how the flowerscomplemented the bride's fashion and venue decor. Always inspiring.

[@Holly_at_gypsyhollergardens]

It would be fun to see, but I think Georgie is much to classy to intrude ( for footage ) on someone's special day .

[@theflowerfarmer]

@gypsyhollerfarmgardens4603 is right - I'll film a venue if I don't think it intrudes, but most of the time it's a private event and I think it important it stays that way. Imagine the couple's face if I asked if I could come and film their special day for my KZbin channel! xxx

[@flowerfairy1950]

I was thinking the same thing but understand the reason why not. I just thought a photo showing flowers (eg bouquet, button holes etc in situ).

[@galerussell1710]

It was never in my mind that the wedding itself be filmed, only expressed a wish to see how it all worked together. People do rush to some rather unkind suggestions.

[@mrsrabbitsmoments8854]

Beautiful flowers as always Georgie...I'm curious about the raffia on the buttonholes...Will it be wet on the gentleman's lapel??🌸

[@theflowerfarmer]

no - not if the people squeeze excess water off them with a small towel as instructed in the care card x

[@marionparish347]

Could you show how you finish the brides bouquet with the ribbon please

[@theflowerfarmer]

I simply tie it with a bow - I'm not a fan of fancy ribbon effects x

[@pattiohare4280]

Beautiful Georgie! What is the name of the Cosmos you used? Thanks

[@blobblob4468]

Might be Fizzy Rose?

[@theflowerfarmer]

you're right x

[@mollypitcher9380]

Love this informative video, I HAD to subscribe. I know I’m going to learn a lot!!!🌸
