I got back from holiday and was wandering around our flower garden and thought I’d be interested to see what flowers I could pick to make an entirely seasonal bouquet for a bride. So often couples come in and have very specific ideas of looks and designs that they want for their big day and…
As we finally seem to be hitting our stride with summer sun, I needed a new door wreath for our front door so thought this would be a good time to talk through how you can make a simple wreath for your door too. As always I wanted to make a sustainable wreath that didn’t…
I had a friend come put some shelves up in my workshop this week and whilst he was working I thought i’d have a go at this project that I’ve been thinking about for a while. Bare with me as I begin to show the process of this design. When it comes to creating wedding…

Milk Churns are something we love filling with flowers at Young Blooms, they work perfectly as statement arrangements and are easy to move which we are a fan of. Couples can use has them as designs to be placed by altar or ceremony table and then move them onto their reception. We’ve put them at…
