Wedding Flowers, Your Way
If you love the idea of creating your own wedding flowers, but don't quite know where to begin, we can help.
At Field Gate Flowers, we grow beautiful British flowers on our flower farm in Buckinghamshire and create a completely bespoke collection of flowers for your wedding.
You tell us your date, your colours and what you're hoping to create. We'll choose the very best flowers available on the farm that week, cut them at just the right stage, condition them and have everything ready for you to collect.
And you decide how much you'd like to do.
There really aren't any rules. That's why we call it Wedding Flowers, Your Way.
01
We'll ask about your date, venue, number of guests, colour palette and the sort of flowers you're dreaming of. You don't need to know flower varieties. Send us your Pinterest board, photographs, fabric swatches or simply tell us the colours you love.
02
Bud vases? Table arrangements? Church flowers? Milk churns? An arch? Bouquets? We'll help you work out approximately how many flowers you'll need.
03
You don't have to do everything yourself. We can create your bridal bouquet, bridesmaids' bouquets, buttonholes and other personal flowers while you have the fun of arranging the rest.
04
Depending on availability, you can hire vessels from Field Gate Flowers rather than buying dozens of vases you'll never use again. We'll help you work out what you need and how many.
05
Your flowers will be freshly harvested from the farm, carefully conditioned and ready for collection from Field Gate Flowers in Buckinghamshire. Then the fun begins.
These aren't buckets of random leftover flowers.
Every wedding order is planned around your colour palette, your wedding and the flowers that are looking their absolute best on the farm that week.
Your buckets will usually contain a beautiful mixture of focal flowers, supporting flowers, delicate fillers and foliage so that you've got plenty to work with.
Because we grow seasonally, we don't promise individual flower varieties. And that's part of the magic.
A June wedding might have foxgloves, sweet peas and roses. July could bring delphiniums, cosmos and scabious. By late summer, the dahlias arrive.
Enquire about your dateThis is one of our favourite ways to work. You create your table flowers and venue arrangements, while we take care of the pieces that can feel a little more daunting.
We can create:
Everything will be designed to work beautifully with the flowers we've supplied for the rest of your wedding. So your entire wedding still feels considered and cohesive — without paying for a full floristry service.
You don't necessarily need to buy 80 bud vases.
We have a collection of vessels available to hire for Field Gate Flowers weddings, subject to availability. Depending on your plans, this might include bud vases, bowls, urns and larger statement vessels.
Tell us what you're hoping to create and we'll let you know what we have available.
Every wedding is different, which is why we don't force you into a rigid package.
Your price will depend on the amount of flowers you need, the scale of your wedding and whether you'd like us to create any of your bridal party flowers.
Our curated wedding flower buckets start from £55 + VAT per bucket, with a minimum wedding order applying.
Once we know what you're hoping to create, we can help you work out how many buckets you'll realistically need. You can then add bridal flowers and vessel hire if you'd like them.
Tell us about your weddingYou definitely don't need to be a florist.
Some of the loveliest DIY weddings are incredibly simple: masses of bud vases, bowls filled loosely with seasonal flowers and a few larger arrangements.
If you're happy to gather a few friends or family together the day before the wedding, put some music on and spend a couple of hours surrounded by flowers, it can be a wonderful part of the wedding experience.
But we'd rather be realistic than tell you everything is easy. If you're planning complicated installations, large arches and technically demanding bouquets, you may prefer to leave those pieces to us. We'll happily talk through what's achievable.
One of the loveliest things about choosing Field Gate Flowers is knowing where your wedding flowers came from.
Many of the flowers you'll take away will have been growing in our Buckinghamshire fields only hours before they're cut.
We've been growing flowers here for more than 15 years and grow specifically for floristry: beautiful varieties, interesting shapes, gorgeous colours and lovely long stems.
Seasonal. British. And grown for weddings just like yours.
