The flowers are beautiful Karen and her team pride themselves on only doing one wedding a day to ensure that the day gets their full attention. I can't recommend them highly enough!!

I knew what look I wanted from the start and I felt immediately at ease that Karen understood what I had in mind. She was extremely helpful throughout the planning process - answering my many questions and making changes to the quote within 24 hours whenever I changed my mind about something. Deliveries were made promptly on the day and I could not have been any happier with what I received - they were absolutely beautiful.

From the minute that we met with Karen at the Blake Hall open day and saw her flowers and realised her understanding of the venue, we knew that there wasn't any other supplied who would come close to doing our flowers. She was very professional from start to finish and understood my vision immediately. I had many comments on how beautiful the flowers looked and I was so happy with them. I would definitely recommend The Flower Mill to all of my friends

Karen...
Karen and the team at the Flower mill were outstanding from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble and I had complete trust that the flowers would be beautiful on the day which they were and more amazing that I could have imagined. I will recommend the flower mill to all future brides!

Karen was fantastic from start to finish, we left Karen to do what she thought would work best and the results were fantastic. Very helpful, knowledgeable and great ideas. Many of our guest commented on the table designs and flowers.
Would recommend Karen all day long.

Thank you for the most beautiful flowers I could have imagined on my wedding day - I couldn't help but shed a tear and hug you when I saw it all come together and those beautiful milk churns you sourced especially for me! You truly went above and beyond and the three meetings we had prior to my wedding where I changed my mind each time prove that! I loved how passionate you are about what you do and loved getting excited about flowers with you. I'd recommend the flower mill to anyone.

FAQ

What is your most memorable wedding?
Becca & Tom's, just loved the style colours and whole look of this wedding. https://theflowermillessex.co.uk/the-wedding-of-becca-tom-7th-september-2017/
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Natural, romantic, luxury, blousy, bespoke
What about your business are you most proud of?
The fabulous feed back we get from our amazing couples. The feeling you get when you have delivered flowers seeing them set up and seeing the bride overwhelmed by her vision coming together.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Make your wedding your day! Do exactly what makes you happy do not try to please everyone else. Book your desired suppliers early.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
We like to include a list of the bridal bouquet flowers used in a scroll for the bride to keep.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
We meet with the happy couple to discuss ideas and budgets. We then send out a tailor made quotation. Once booked we like to meet with the couple at least once again, around six weeks before to go over final requirements.
What is the most interesting thing you have put in a bouquet?
Succulents, Air Plants
Is there a flower that has specific symbolism that you would recommend for couples?
Depends, I like to use any flowers that are personal to a couple this to me is what makes each couples flowers personal to them, a favourite of theirs, flowers representing a lost loved one, for example Nana's favourite flowers were lily of the valley. An Australian bride I would maybe use Eucalyptus or Wax Flower, incorporating an Australian native flower or foliage.
What is the most romantic flower and why?
I love Roses, or Peonies, highly scented, blousy and so romantic.
What should you do with the flowers after the wedding?
If the couple are able to give to guests this is a lovely touch, alternatively if the couple are straight on honeymoon, giving to a local hospice is something we have done, so they get some enjoyment from them. It's always lovely if the bride can have her bouquet dried or preserved.
