Sustainable Spring Wedding Flowers at Wildhive Callow Foyer

If there’s one thing I’m profoundly passionate about, it’s supporting British flower farmers, growers and the floral designers who support them. And so this incredibly beautiful Spring wedding flowers editorial is an incredible pleasure for me to share with you.

The concept and floral stile talent behind this beautiful editorial was Fran at Limewood Flowers – a member of Flowers from the Farm, a collective of British flower farmers who grow their flowers sustainably.

Fran worked with wedding planner Rachel Dalton and an incredible team of vendors, including Love My Dress favourite, Rolling Sopra Rose to share an editorial that was as true to genuine wedding day styling as possible, with a creative brief to produce botanical Spring wedding decadence. They clearly achieved their assignment and then some.

These images were shot location at the very gorgeous Wildhive Callow Foyer durante Wildhive Callow Foyer durante Derbyshire. And I think you might want to pin these images to your heart’s content darlings…
