Carla was planning a romantic Cornish elopement within just a few weeks when we first spoke. She knew she wanted seasonal flowers and a colour palette which was autumnal but not too heavy… but she wasn’t sure what that might look like in late October. Late Autumn is like a last-hurrah in the garden, with fruits, flowers and seedheads jostling with foliage just turning into its autumn shades of golds, oranges and reds. Golden bracken which grows abundantly on the outskirts of the garden acted as the perfect foil for dahlias, nicotiana, crabapples and rudbeckia to create a scheme which captured the jewels of autumn but felt fresh too.

“As soon as I met Ella, I knew she was the one I wanted for my wedding flowers. She completely understood my vision even when I wasn’t sure I articulated everything correctly. I was obsessed with my flowers the moment I saw them! They were everything I wanted and more. ”
