The David Austin Leonora rose is described as ‘the epitome of classic elegance and understated style’ – and it’s true, it’s quite simply beautiful.

It’s been our greatest honour to help our couples navigate through this time, and the… Read More
Last year, a lovely bride came to visit us not too long before her wedding. She had two venues to dress, one for her ceremony and the second for a fabulous party the next day. For both venues she wanted rich late summer colour, but different schemes to suit each vibe. Her ceremony and wedding… Read More
Back in February we were lucky enough to take care of a gorgeous Spring wedding for a couple with taste that was totally on our wavelength. The bride, Ellie, had a vision of a glorious colour clash; burgundy, berry pink, coral, orange, with wild organic shapes. We used the best of the season; poppies, ranunculus,… Read More
