A Wildflower Wedding at Gretna Green

  When Claire asked me to prepare flowers for her wedding at Gretna Green, I jumped at the chance!
Claire told me she LOVES flowers, wanted multiple colours & wanted them arranged in a natural, bohemian style.
 Her favourites are delicate wildflowers so I included plenty of these - Cornflowers, Forget Me Not's, Buttercups, Daisies & soft grasses.
 June is a perfect month for this wedding decor style as we grow many at the Flower Farm in Dumfries & Galloway. I was spoilt for choice when I began cutting flowers for Claire!
  The flowers were arranged simply in mini 'milk bottles', trimmed with ivory ribbon.
Then the bottles were positioned down the table as a botanical runner. Very colourful & interesting for guests to look at during the meal as every bottle contained a different selection of flowers.
  I made several Posies in ribbon-trimmed Honey jars too & these were placed on the windowsills.

  After the wedding, Claire invited Guests to take bottles away with them as a wedding favour. She added a packet of wildflower seeds & bottle of pink Gin for each Guest too.
  Claire took several Posies in Honey jars herself to enjoy in her Camper Van as she & Husband Adie toured the Highlands on their Honeymoon. The couple messaged me to say;
​

Thank you so so much for our beautiful Wedding flowers. We loved them and so did everyone else. We’re still on our travels through Isle of Skye with one of ours jars. 
Once again, thank you. You are a diamond. 
Best wishes, Claire & Adie 

And the Wedding Cake...
As Claire lived in Dorset & travelled to Gretna Green for her wedding, I suggested contacting Jade of The Treats Darling in Kirkcudbright to make her Wedding cake. And what a cake!
Jade's cakes are exceptional - delicious & made with love & such creativity. This cake was coated in buttercream & decorated with a selection of food safe flowers grown by myself at the Flower Farm near Castle Douglas, Dumfries & Galoway.
​As you'll see from the pictures below, it was a real stunner!
