For rebellious romantics 

STRIPPED BACK, AUTHENTIC AND EARTHY

ARE YOU EMBRACING YOUR VISION WITH AN EMPHASIS ON QUALITY NOT QUANTITY?    

​

Close your eyes and imagine your most perfect wedding moment:

the ambience, the aesthetics, the overwhelming feeling of love and lets start with the moment you first hold your bouquet.  This is where your design journey begins with The Unconventional Florist and our creativity starts...Collaboration that enables a modern,  fresh and unique floral wedding design that reflects you, and leaves your guests in awe.

​

​

BE BOLD   |      BE DIFFERENT   |       BE YOU

 

​

Our creativity is limitless, unlike our diary! Our ethos is quality not quantity: we pay particular attention to ​inspiration and research, creativity and collaboration with you. This all takes time, commitment and passion, it is a slow process to ensure the end design is as unique and individual as you. The name The Unconventional Florist has two meanings, firstly we do things very differently, we get to know you, your ideas and your wedding style, and secondly, we are not interested in recreating or churning out packages ... that is not our thing and probably not yours either!

Our creativity is limitless, unlike our diary! We're storytellers who use blooms to narrate your love story and create the ambience of your celebration. The Unconventional Florist isn't just a name – it's a promise. Firstly, we take an unorthodox approach, diving deep into your ideas and wedding style to craft an extraordinary design. Secondly, we shy away from cookie-cutter packages preferring to create a one-of-a-kind floral narrative.

 

Our process is a journey of discovery and collaboration. We're genuinely excited to sit down with you, listen to your ideas, and translate them into breathtaking floral designs. Your enthusiasm fuels our creativity, and together, we'll bring your floral vision to life in ways you never imagined. We're here to create more than a floral design, but an experience – that reflects your personality, complements your venue, and leaves your guests in awe.

Stripped back, authentic and a little earthy is our signature style, or some might say 'Imperfectly Perfect'

We work in sync with the seasons sourcing in- bloom to create captivating bouquets and alternative wedding decor                     (Peonies, anemones, ranunculus, sweet William, spray roses, garden roses, dahlias, seedheads and hydrangeas)               are some of our favourite florals to create untamed, wild yet chic modern designs.

​

We incorporate wild ingredients including herbs, wild fruits and berries, twigs and vines into our arrangements creating unusual textures and intrigue for your ceremony and table decor.  Hand-tied bridal bouquets with heavenly scented blooms and an abundance of foraged greenery styled and finished with beautifully sourced quirky accessories.

Consciously Creative Collaboration

 

This is an invitation to a no-obligation consultation......Let's start the Conversation

 

 

Understanding your wedding vision is our conversation starting point.  We appreciate that hiring the services of a bespoke wedding floral designer is an investment. You are trusting that person to interpret your vision, meticulously create and expertly execute the perfect wedding floral design.

​​

We will work closely with you throughout the design process, providing moodboards, sample ribbons and identifying in-season bloom. Our communication is clear and concise, and closer to your wedding is when we secure numbers and sign off the final design. We can be flexible as we only collaborate with a select few clients each year so we can fully immerse ourselves in your vision. Our ethos is quality over quantity whilst specialising in alternative, modern and unconventional design.

Kind Words

"I had been following Donna's work ever since I attended a friend's wedding that she designed many years ago. When I got engaged, she was the first person who came to mind for my wedding florals I feel incredibly fortunate not to had to rely on Google searches.

Donna exudes a calmness that reflects her vast knowledge and creativity, which is truly powerful. Though I'm not typically a fan of traditional flowers, Donna beautifully captured our personalities and relationships in a unique style. She is kind, patient, and takes the time to understand you personally. Throughout the entire process, I never had to worry about the flowers; I knew she was on top of everything and exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend to any couple!"
