Weddings

I am thrilled to help couples realise their flowery ideas and aspirations by bringing a touch of the truly natural and beautiful meadow to your wedding day for that celebration of seasons with real flowers grown with that English country garden feel, with loose flowery designs, scent from flowers and herbs that have been grown sustainable and with care ready for your big day. 

I offer a private picking experience in the meadow to style and design your wedding flowers, i find many brides do enjoy taking that breath and pause for calm and creativity just before their big day and are excited to have a hands on experience in the meadow with those closest to them as a loving experience between mum and daughter and best friends. 

I will give you a tour of the meadow, show you how to cut each type of flower and we can walking the beds and hand selecting each and every flowers of your choosing.  I will help you style and arrange your wedding flowers putting you in control of your style and look that defines you. 

I am a sustainable grower and it is important to me that my flowers do not harm the environment and work in hand with nature, which you will see from the butterflies and bumblebees in the meadow, buy supporting my meadow you will not be flying flowers from all over the world. Flowers that are freshly cut last longer than flowers flown in. Everything is right here as mother nature intended.

The experience can take 2 to 4 hours due to the selecting and cutting, and how big your plans are.

The experience always takes place the day before the wedding with most people having weddings on a Saturday this means Friday mornings are blocked out for brides. during the summer depending on if it is a hot year we would start at 8:30am if its a little cooler then 9:30am so we can have all the flowers picked and arranged before the mid day heat hits.

The meadow will always be privately booked out just for you.

I have a number of props such as

  • Milk churns,
  • bud vases
  • French antique urns,
  • top table flower holders
  • vases bud vases as well as a super
  • Structural pair of aluminium salmon traps to cover in flowers

These can be hired just get in touch to find out more so these can help make your big day look and feel a little bit more special and be used in photography.

The meadow experience is meant to give brides control over their flowers, having a wonderful cherished time with those they love, having a creative and chilled time creating memories with flowers. Everything is styled and designed in the meadow with free rein over the flowers so you know what you have created looks great for your special day once done everything is taken to the venue, job done simple and easy. You don’t need to have any experience this is a fun and easy morning and mother nature puts the flowers together perfectly.

I also sell confetti for that all important photography of celebration of finally saying your vows as you walk out to your friends and family, this is made up of mostly dried roses petals and flowers from the meadow and is available at £1.50 a bag and is recommended one bag per guest so your photographer can get the wedding bliss shot of the day.

If you are bride that enjoys the natural country gathered from the meadow style then I am the lady for you.  Contact me to book your date, please be aware i am booked up 2 to 3 years in advance!

To secure the meadow for your date you will need pay a £50 non refundable booking fee.

There is a £400 minimum spend to book the meadow experience

I would recommend keeping your meadow party small and intimate and to a maximum of 4 to 5 people as i have found to many people and opinions can spoil the experience for the bride and groom, i would advise bringing your mum and a bride of honour as well as best friend etc.

I do not offer wedding buckets of flowers to go

I do not do Church instals as all wedding flowers can be made and styled in the meadow and taken to the venue

I recommend bringing boxes, bubble wrap and newspapers on the day to ship things like jam jars, having your maid of honour or best friend on hand to carry bouquets in the car.

Recommendations

I had the best experience with Helen at the Meadow Farm. We have not been before and Helen put us at ease very quickly and helped explained what flowers would work best in jam jars for table decoration and in my bridal bouquet.
I love my bouquet to bits – it was such a therapeutic experience and we are already planning our next excursion for some flowers for the room 🙂

Wedding flowers for my big day. Had the most amazing morning the day prior to my wedding picking Helen’s beautiful, seasonal home grown flowers (with classical music playing). Just what every brides needs in the stressful weeks leading up to a wedding. So many compliments on the incredible wild flowers displays- cannot recommend Suffolk Meadow Flowers enough!  Sinead

What an incredible place! I chose to get my ‘DIY’ wedding flowers from the lovely Helen, I can’t thank her enough for making the experience so special. I spent a glorious morning the day before the wedding picking flowers in the meadow (such a relaxing and calming experience before the big day, highly recommended!) and came away with gorgeous bouquets, button holes and table decorations – they were honestly better than anything I could have imagined. Helen was so knowledgeable, and provided just the right level of assistance – letting me create, and stepping in with advice and suggestions when needed.  Elanor

Thanks Helen, we had such a lovely time picking and making, everyone commented on the flower crown and i am glad i didn’t chicken out wearing it in the end! Lucy
