British Grown Wedding Flowers 

Seasonal, Sustainable Flower Ideas for your Wedding

We've been getting more and more queries from sociably responsible brides who want to source British Grown Wedding Flowers. There has also been a lot of coverage in the press recently about buying flowers that are local and in season. The difficulty is that we've become accustomed to being able to source the flowers we want when we want - made available throughout the year by flying them in from overseas - irrespective of their season here in the UK and regardless of their carbon footprint.

The increased profile of this issue in the press and pressure from brides means that more florists are beginning to provide an option of wedding flowers that are grown in the UK but the bride may need to do a little more research and possibly build their wedding flowers theme around what's available for the date of their wedding.

We're currently working on a fantastic feature due out soon including the best of British flowers. Featuring fabulous pictures and ideas for spring, summer, autumn and winter wedding flowers using British grown flowers. Local and lovely!

In the meantime see below for some great resources and links.
