Curated floral boxes with easy to follow tutorials
Creating your own flowers has never been simpler.We choose the very best flowers, hand-deliver them to your door. You then follow our tutorials and make your own wedding flowers.
The Flowers
The Collections
Each collection has been carefully designed with colour in mind. We choose the varieties of flowers, based on what is seasonally available. These can be anything from roses, to lisianthus, carnations or sweet peas.
As the seasons change, so do our flowers.
What’s included in the box
Our floral boxes contain approximately 180 stems. The varieties come in bunches, straight from the grower, meaning they arrive unconditioned. Our tutorial guides you through each step. We also offer the option to upgrade your box to include a gorgeous selection of seasonal foliage.
Working out what you need
Use our stem calculator to work out how many flowers you need to create your wedding florals. If you need any assistance, do not hesitate to contact us with your questions and our team of experienced florists will guide you through.
Placing an order
Order your boxes earliest up to 12 months before your delivery date, and latest 2 weeks before. After this point, your order is sent to the growers for cutting and shipping.

The process
Delivery
Our delivery partner delivers throughout the night to ensure you receive the freshest flowers, so we ask for detailed delivery instructions to ensure flowers are left in a safe place. Read more about how the delivery process works on our FAQ’s page.
Arrival
Your flowers will arrive on your chosen delivery day, we recommend 48 hours before your event date. You’ll need to spend some time completing the conditioning process, before you start making everything. This is a super important step that all florists undertake. Luckily it is incredibly easy.
Stem-by-stem videos
Our easy-to-follow tutorials are designed for complete beginners. You do not need to be a professional florist, or have any understanding of floral design, but it’s important that you’re aware of the work which goes into wedding floristry and that you’re happy to spend the time to do it.
