This morning I'm joined by Kelly Leighton of Great British Florist, I've been looking for a while for someone to impart their wisdom on the subject of locally sourced seasonal flowers and their budget benefits. Kelly got in touch and I jumped at the chance to feature her words and gorgeous blooms. I know very little about flowers other than I like them, I wonder around taking photos of pretty plants that I'd like to grow in my garden and have to show them to my mother in law in order for her to identify them as I have no clue. That's enough of my ramblings, over to you Kelly...
Seasonal British Blooms
Hello! I’m so pleased to be able to share our love of Beautiful
British Flowers with you today and thanks so much to Shelley for having us
here!
I’d like to talk a little bit about choosing Seasonal
British Blooms for your wedding and all of the positive impacts that come with
them.
I know many Brides think that by choosing ‘British’ you’re narrowing your choice in regards to variety and colour- this just simply isn’t the case, there are beautiful flowers and fabulous foliage being grown all over the UK, giving us British loving florists a sustainable supply all year round-certainly a lot more than you might think or find in your average back garden.
We know that there will always be a market for more exotic,
imported types and we are not trying to compete with them, it’s just great that
we can now educate brides (and your grooms of course) through blogs and
websites in general on what’s available right here on your doorstep and then you
can decide what’s right for you and your big day.
We might be just a teeny bit bias here, but what can be lovelier
than knowing that you’re carrying the most seasonal, freshest blooms possible? With
a scent just as nature intended- I don’t think people realise that in order to
be airfreighted half way across the world, imported flowers have been treated
to stop blooming before they reach us and consequently supressing their scent..how
sad! And then of course the most obvious topic of flower miles. Nearly 90% of
flowers sold in the UK are imported, and most from 3000 miles away (which all
in all is quite a mind blowing figure really)! So, of course by sourcing
locally you’re not only going to get the best value but also the satisfaction
that your gorgeous green flowers have been grown-not flown.
Another easy way of keeping those wedding costs down and
giving you a simple, set cost with no nasty surprises is to buy online. Have
you considered doing your own flowers? It’s not half as scary as you might
think and can really be quite fun for all involved; there are so many online
resources out there to help you out! Maybe the thought of hand tying your own
bouquet is just a little too much, you could even buy your bouquets and button
holes already made up by your florist and then some mixed blooms to scatter
around as you fancy.
Lots of brides love the idea of a natural, rustic wedding and so do we; we think that flowers are at their prettiest as they come, not too styled and maybe just a little bit wild. You can let your online florist know your colour scheme and they will be happy to work around it.

Some brides will absolutely have their heart set on a
specific flower which isn’t available in the UK, and in this case, only
imported will do; but it’s definitely worth checking out this crop planner to
get an idea on what’s available and to see if there are any other lovely
alternatives which will do the job just as nicely.
