The loveliest spring wedding flowers
Peonies flower from late April / early May into June in the UK. The fact that our peony season is so short makes these blooms all the more special!

1. It’s never all about the bride!
Whether or not there’s a bride at your wedding, couples should be equal partners in everything: your wedding planning journey shouldn’t be made alone. Parts of the wedding industry exclude couples which don’t fit the bride + groom model. We think that’s wrong and we’ll be happy to see it change!
Nine UK wedding venues have made a statement by providing designer alcohol free cocktails to delight wedding guests! According to their survey, a quarter of wedding guests no longer drink alcohol, but the majority of venues aren’t providing exciting or even tasty options for non-drinkers. We think that’s a shame – and we’d love to see more venues get on board with this trend!
- 2,000 people were surveyed
- half had been to a wedding where they didn’t drink
- 81% said there weren’t enough alcohol free options
- over half said the only alternative to alcohol was water
