Making memories…

Some weddings stay with you long after the flowers have gone, and Meredith & Sam’s will always be one of them.

On the hottest day of the year, beneath the shade of an incredible old oak tree, we created a woodland-inspired ceremony overlooking the lake at Thicket Priory. It couldn’t have been a more fitting setting for two people who share such a love of nature and the outdoors.

As guests gathered in the cool shade, the world seemed to slow down for just a moment. Surrounded by wild, natural florals that felt as though they’d always belonged there, Meredith & Sam said “I do” in a space that celebrated not only the beauty of the venue, but their story too.

This is why we never believe florals should simply decorate a wedding. They should tell a story. Your story.

Getting to know our couples is one of the most important parts of our process. We want to understand what inspires you, what makes you smile, and the little details that make your relationship unique—so we can create something that feels deeply personal, naturally beautiful and unmistakably yours.

Thank you, Meredith & Sam, for trusting us with such a special part of your day. It was an honour & a privilege.

2026…
These are the incredible moments that remind us of exactly why we adore doing what we do 🤍

At Willow & Bear Floral Design, creating weddings that feel warm, elegant, and effortlessly romantic is always at the heart of everything we do.

From the first conversation to the final candle being lit, we love building a warm, thoughtful experience for couples who value beautiful details and meaningful moments just as much as we do.

As wedding season approaches, I’m feeling so incredibly excited & inspired for the celebrations ahead. After a long build up to our wedding season we have been meeting the most adorable couples with such magical hopes & dreams for their wedding celebrations & we definitely have a very exciting season ahead of us!

From the excited discussions, to the floral-filled mornings, the emotional aisle walks, the unforgettable table-scapes, and all the quiet in-between moments that make each wedding uniquely yours & we are there for it all & we cannot wait!

Frame the moment…
Your wedding photos will outlive the cake, the playlists, and even the place settings.

We have the privilege of helping our couples to realise that the moments that will stay with you forever are the ones you feel the most connection to — walking through the church doors, seeing your reception reveal for the first time, that pause before everyone enters the marquee.

That’s why we always encourage our couples to prioritise florals where the memories are made.

Large-scale floral installations don’t just decorate a space — they frame the moments that matter most the most to you and your guests.
An abundant ceremony entrance.
A statement marquee walkway.
A floral backdrop for the hugs, champagne toasts, and photographs you’ll look back on for decades. Whenever we plan designs we discuss the moments that work hardest in your venue spaces and the designs that add that magical extra touch of elegance or luxury to your celebration.

For modern couples balancing style and budget, investing in impactful floral moments creates far more atmosphere than spreading smaller arrangements across every table and every corner.

Thoughtfully designed statement florals totally transform a venue, elevate your photography, and leave a lasting impression on every guest who walks into the spaces that you have considered with wonderful designs.

Luxury floristry is about intentional design — choosing the moments you want to remember forever, and making them totally unforgettable.

Planning your wedding flowers? We’d love to help you create something immersive, romantic, and completely personal to you.

Summer pastels…
Megan & Matthew’s August wedding celebration at Thicket Priory was a perfectly executed expression of modern romance—where soft summer pastels met thoughtful, design-led floristry.

Delicate layers of peach, blush, and powder blue were curated to complement the season while maintaining a timeless, elevated aesthetic. Each arrangement was intentionally composed to enhance the setting, from the bridal bouquet to the reception tables, creating a seamless visual story throughout the day.

For couples who value quality, detail, and a highly personal service, this wedding reflects what we strive to deliver at Willow & Bear Floral Designs: considered florals that feel effortless, photograph beautifully, and leave a lasting impression.

The white bouquet…
There’s something quietly powerful about a white bridal bouquet.

At Willow & Bear Floral Design, we see it as more than a colour palette—it’s an expression of your story. Clean, refined, and effortlessly elegant, white florals bring a sense of calm confidence to your wedding day. For couples who appreciate considered details and timeless aesthetics, it’s the ultimate expression of understated luxury & confident design.

Think sculptural ranunculus, layered scented garden roses, fluffy peonies, delicate sweet peas, and soft textures that catch the light without overwhelming it. A white bouquet doesn’t compete—it elevates everything around it. Your dress, your setting, your photographs… all enhanced by its beautiful simplicity.

For the modern professional balancing a full life with wedding planning, a white bouquet offers clarity. It works seamlessly across venues, seasons, and styles—whether you’re saying your vows in a city space or a countryside setting with a traditional or a more modern style the white bouquet offers something for everyone.

If you’re drawn to florals that feel refined, editorial, and quietly unforgettable, a white bouquet might be exactly what you’re looking for.
