Flowers for Weddings
Here at Fuchsia Blooms we use as man blooms as possible locally grown on our plot in Hampshire. As a flower-farmer-florist we sow, grow, condition and arrange a wide variety of seasonal blooms. Because our flowers are locally grown and do not spend large amounts of time being flown around the world . This means that they are beautifully scented and we also use lots wild & gathered ingredients and speciality blooms. We incorporate herbs such as Rosemary, Lavender and Mint to delight your senses and complement the floral perfumes.
Seasonality & sustainability
Straight from the plot we pick the best flowers from the field on the day to match your wedding theme, and the time of year you get married will dictate the flowers available. You can get in touch with us to receive our seasonal flower guide.
We don't use any chemicals in our field or any floral foam in our arrangements. We recycle and re use as much as we can from plastic bottles to fruit punnets!
Our Process
1. The first step is to fill in our contact form, and we will check that we have availability for your date. We will send you our standard price guide and seasonal flower availability.
2. You will then need to send over as many details as you can, your wishlist, budget and LOTS of inspiration. A few photos of the styles you love and colours you are thinking of - the more inspiration we have the more we can explore what really matters to you and your big day.
3.We can then setup a TEAMS call or phone consultation if we still need some more information from you. Otherwise we will prepare your floral quote which includes the inspiration images and a detailed breakdown of the cost of each element. This will be emailed over to you for consideration. If there are elements which you would like to change then we can do this for you. If there are elements which you are unsure of then we can note this down to revisit nearer the time. We don't need every last detail from you at this stage.
4. Once you are happy with the proposal we will send an invoice over which required a 20% deposit to secure the date in our calendar and order in any long leadtime items.
5. We will then add your flowers to our sowing and growing schedule so that we can ensure that we can have as many flowers as possible grown and cut from our own flower patch.
6. Eight weeks before your wedding date we will check in to confirm all of the final details and make any necessary changes. This is the point where you will then pay the final balance and we will start to prepare for your big day.
7. This is when all of the hard work and planning comes together into something truly magical. We usually start setting up from 8 am onwards, venue & requirements dependant. If the weather is particularly hot then we will plan around setting out outdoor items at the last min so that they can look as fresh as possible.
