Naturally lovely British grown flowers flex with the seasons and bring grace and charm to your big day. Whatever your style from classic country house weddings to informal wildflower-style celebrations (or anywhere in between), you’ll find a grower florist who can help you realise your wedding dreams.

If British flowers are at the heart of your flowery fantasies then it’s important to focus on which flowers are likely to be growing at the time of your wedding – every flower has a natural season when it is at the peak of its beauty and abundance.

Peonies are romantic wedding choices much loved by couples and enjoy a short but glorious season any time between May and June in the UK. English garden roses, another wedding classic, reach a peak in June and continue through the summer months (though less abundantly) until September. If you are getting married outside the summer months, why not consider a frilly ranunculus as a British grown alternative to imported roses? Staying seasonal involves flexibility and creativity but can achieve truly stunning results.
