Happy One Year Anniversary!​​​​​​​​​A gorgeous explosion of colour that was so much fun to create. I hope you have all had a wonderful first year as Mrs & Mr. I don't normally take on two weddings on the same day but these were just to beautiful to say no to. ​​​​​​​​​

Its been a while since I've seen the field from this angle on such a glorious day. It doesn't look very flowery from here but I've been cutting bucketful's of beautiful blooms from here for our customers and for our drying racks. ​​​​​​​​​There are some really exciting workshops being planned this week to fill the rest of the year. Our newsletter subscribers will be the first to know so if you aren't signed up now would be a good time. Click the link in our bio to subscribe. ​​​​​​​​​.

Happy one year anniversary to H & T! I can't quite believe it's been a whole year since I got to create the flowers for this stunning summer wedding. ​​​​​​​​​It's so lovely to have a excuse to go back through the stunning photos that took. ​​​​​​​​​.

In the midst of full on wedding season it feel a bit like that's all I talk about. So I thought it was time for a change on the grid. I will always have a soft spot for creating funeral flowers. There is something very special about flowers in that we use them to celebrate all aspects of life. From the very beginning of a life with a bouquet to celebrate the birth of a new baby to the very best of life, getting married, all the way to the end of life with flowers to reflect the person we have lost. Flowers are always there even if we don't realise it. I love to incorporate plants into my funeral work for you to take home and replant in your own garden as a memory of your loved one. ​​​​​​​​​If you would like more information about the different arrangements we make you can find it all on our website. ​​​​​​​​​https://www.bluehillflora.com/funerals

Happy one year anniversary C & J ! I loved creating this bridal bouquet and cutting all the beautiful DIY buckets for this wedding. It was also my first time creating so many flower pockets for the groom and groomsmen.​​​​​​​​​Photography by ​​​​​​​​​.

Field to Vase Workshop!​​​​​​​​​Sunday 23rd June​​​​​​​​​10:00am - 1:00pm

Includes a farm tour, tea, cake and of course flowers!
Join us for a relaxing and mindful experience where you'll create your own stunning vase full of flowers to take home.

Enjoy a behind-the-scenes tour of our flower farm followed by a demonstration on how to consistently arrange a beautiful vase of flowers.

You'll receive expert tips on how to cut your flowers and foliage before exploring our flower field to gather your own.

We'll then take a break for tea and cake while your flowers condition.
Next the fun part! You'll create your personalized floral arrangement with the beautiful blooms and foliage you cut.

Please bring your own vase. Why not bring that vase you’ve been unsure how to use, and I'll show you how to make the most of it.

Weather permitting, the workshop will be held outdoors, so please wear sturdy shoes and dress appropriately for the uneven terrain at the farm.

If you have any dietary requirements, please let me know in advance, and I'll do my best to accommodate you.

British Flowers Week! ​​​​​​​​​A whole week to highlight and celebrate all of the amazing blooms grown right here in the UK. Normally I would have an open day and at least one work shop planned. But this week is pretty manic as I am getting married next week! So instead I've decided to do Lonely Posy's this year as it is a bit more manageable at the moment. Also I hope they will bring a lot of joy. So over the next week everyday I will be leaving one of our cute posy jam jars around my local area for people to find and take home. ​​​​​​​​​If you don't manage to find one and need your British flower fix then I will also be at the Green Gathering on the 9th with flowers for sale. It starts at 1pm and is at the Glantawe Riverside Park. We would love you to come down and say hello.

Happy First Anniversary to this wonderful couple of beautiful bride! ​​​​​​​​​It's vary rare that I take on two weddings on the same day but boy am I glad I did.​​​​​​​​​I will always remember what a scorching day it was! It fills me with joy, reminiscing about the beautiful blooms I had the pleasure of creating for their special day. Wishing you endless love and many more unforgettable moments together

It's been an entire year since I had the honour of curating the exquisite florals for this wonderful wedding. A gorgeous mix of whites, blues and purples that the couple mixed with dried to create a seaside theme. ​​​​​​​​​Photo by ​​​​​​​​​

Sunday 9th June 1pm​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​After attending this wonderful event last year we are excited to have been invited back again this year. This year we will have a stall selling bouquets and jars of flowers as well as running a mini buttonhole making workshop. So if you fancy a day out getting to meet some amazing local businesses who are doing their bit for the environment come on down. There are loads of fun activities, talks, walks and food and drink as well.

Its that manic time of year where next years flowers are already underway even while we are elbow deep in harvesting this years crop. I've been busy sowing and pricking out biennials so they will have plenty of time to beef up and get through the winter. Our ranunculus and anemone order for next spring has also been placed already and I'm making my final tulips choices. It's always so hectic juggling this season and next season at the same time!​​​​​​​​​This is always the time of year I start to feel stretched a bit thin. ​​​​​​​​​.

A group? Bunch? collection? Anyone know if there is a word for more than one buttonhole? I feel like there should be. ​​​​​​​​​Either way they are super sweet especially in these soft sugary colours to matching the bridal bouquet. I love a bouquets and buttonholes wedding. Super simple and elegant bringing those fresh personal touches to the most important people of the day. ​​​​​​​​​All welsh grown with some gorgeous sweet williams and extra ranunculus from

A beautiful alternative to a spray the sheaf is essentially a large flattish bouquet. It's perfect for natural burials with zero mechanics needed to create it making it fully compostable. ​​​​​​​​​It can even be made up of a series of smaller bouquets which can then be shared among family and friends after the funeral. This piece even had some forget me not and Muscari plants incorporated so the family could plant them in their garden in memory of their loved one. ​​​​​​​​​.

It's been an entire year since I had the honour of curating the beautiful florals for M & R's wedding. Here's to many more years of happiness filled with flowers! ​​​​​​​​​Photography by ​​​​​​​​​.
