The most magical wedding florist

Flowers were one of the most important priorities for us on our wedding day and Dorothy Seed Florists went above and beyond, bringing our vision to life and made our whole day look and feel like the magical whimsical wonderland we had dreamt of.
I came across Dorothy Seed Florists when researching florists nearby our venue and their sustainable and eco friendly approach really resonated with us.
The moment we first spoke with Dorina, we felt a real sense of warmth, kindness and passion for everything that she does through her work but also as a person and it felt like we had known her for years. Her knowledge is out of this world and we whole heartedly trusted her from the get go with her flower and foliage choices and her vision to help really make the use of our venue space for both the ceremony and wedding breakfast.
Nothing was too much and she took the time to sit and talk through our ideas through a number of zoom calls as well as meet us at our venue to bring our ideas to life.
Dorina was also able to provide the most gorgeous candle holders, bud vases and bowls which were beautifully displayed throughout the day. Knowing she was in charge of placing everything together for us put us at ease and was such a weight lifted off our shoulders. She styled everything so perfectly and just how we visioned.
Unfortunately, no amount of words will do her and the team justice. They are the most amazing people and a dream to work with and we couldn’t have asked or wished for anyone else to be such a part of our big day.
We see Dorina as a dear friend now, and she will always have a special place in our hearts.
You are amazing and we cannot thank you enough for everything.

Dorothy Seed Made Our Wedding Truly Unforgettable

Choosing Dorothy Seed was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.
When we first spoke with Dorina, we straight away got the vibe that she was going to be the perfect fit for us, she is fun, kind, and really listens to what you as a couple want. She took the time to get to know us, and to understand what it was we were looking for (even if we didn't really know ourselves!). We felt super supported throughout the whole process - I was able to send over photos as and when I found them, and even though I changed my mind several times, Dorina was always able to capture exactly what I liked through the mood boards.
One of the best moments for me on the wedding day was receiving my bouquet, and then walking down the beautifully decorated aisle and seeing the truly unbelievable floral meadow that Dorina had created. From all the mood boards, photos, videos that I'd seen, hers completely surpassed them all and genuinely took my breath away, I was so so happy!
So not only is Dorina an incredibly talented designer and florist, she is a truly fabulous person who will take the time to get to know you, understand you and make your wedding a unique and gorgeous occasion that reflects who you are as a couple. We are so pleased that we chose her, and would urge everyone else to do the exact same!

Dreamy Dorina!

We chose to work with Dorina for our wedding flowers due to her authentically beautiful work she creates for each couple she works with. When we first spoke with Dorina it was immediately evident how passionate she is for her work and she kept this spirit up right until our big day! She was so knowledgable in choosing the right seasonal blooms for our wedding that also included personal touches close to our hearts. Dorina and Rupert were extremely helpful in choosing how we should display our flowers when we did a venue visit with them in the weeks leading up to the wedding and on the day, all our flowers looked perfect and were transported from the church to our marquee seamlessly. We would recommend Dorina and her team to anyone in a heartbeat!

The best florist ever

Wow, wow, wow! The most perfect flowers for our wedding. From the moment we met Dorina, we knew she was the florist for us! She listened to our ideas and created the most amazing colour palette and styling. Most of our decor was based around our flowers which made the rest of the decoration easy and everyone commented on how amazing the flowers were! All the arrangements that were used for the aisle were reused for our reception tables and in the morning Dorina made bouquets out of all the flowers to give to guests! Nothing went to waste and our guests were amazed with their gifts. I could not recommend Dorina enough!

Highly recommend!!!!!

We had an absolutely incredible experience working with Dorina from DorothySeed for our wedding flowers!
We had an initial consultation and it was immediately clear that Dorina is passionate and knowledgable about her work. She completely helped our vision to come to life.
Before, during AND after our wedding we genuinely felt like we were being held in mind by Dorina and that our day was a priority to her - something I am sure she manages to make all of her many couples feel which is a huge credit to her. She seemed truly excited for us and made us feel very much at ease.
For the arrangements themselves, we wanted our florist to help us find ways to be as sustainable as we could, and Dorina was committed to this even though I believe that it meant we spent less as we wanted to re-use flowers from welcome sign - ceremony - to tables, she did not make us feel uncomfortable at all about this - instead she seemed excited to help us, and in fact she stayed to set the initial arrangements up and then move them during the day. Dorina completely went above our expectations.
Dorina was also really responsive in the lead up to the wedding, and transparent with costs, and she managed to find ways to help us work to the budget we had.
We would definitely recommend DorothySeed (and have been to everyone)

Our Magical and Dreamy Floral Arrangement

Dorothy Seed truly made our big day unforgettable! On our big day, Dorina and her team used their magic to make a magical and dreamy wedding floral setting for us: vibrant colour with a touch of elegance. Throughout the first meeting to post-wedding, Dorina made her every effort to make our dream wedding comes true: having a stunning broken arch with floral arrangements for our ceremony, wedding breakfast, wedding cake and ball room setting. Dorina designed a sustainable plan for all the floral arrangements - so they were repurposed and transformed the space into a romantic and visually stunning environment. Of course, the bride's bouquet was AMAZING! It enhanced and completed my wedding attire. The floral arrangements made our day being gorgeous. After the wedding, Dorina and her team helped wrapping the flowers into different bunches so we could share with our families and friends - this really completed our wedding weekend at the wedding venue. We have received a LOT of compliments about the flowers (e.g. the 'multi' use of flowers, buttonholes/corsages for our families, and the little posy for the flower girl) and the bride's bouquet. If you are looking for wedding florist, Dorothy Seed is what you are after.

Wish we could book her again!

WOW wow wow! We worked with Dorina from Dorothy Seeds for our wedding in Breacon, June 2025 and she was one of the best suppliers we worked with. From initial communication, planning our overall look and feel, to the final run up to the wedding and the day itself - Dorina's whole process exceeded our expectations. We were able to trust Dorina and her vision which was just beautiful on the day (colourful, vibrant, fun vibe) and having in season flowers done in a sustainable way was the icing on top. I feel she went above and beyond being an additional help on the morning and capturing some stunning moments of the day. Wish we could book her again!

Incredible, environmentally conscious, passionate florist

We got married last month and chose Dorina as our florist after we saw her beautiful work at our best friends' wedding. We loved how environementally conscious she was and how clearly passionate about her work she is. During the planning process, Dorina was absolutely amazing helping us bring our vision to life and making sure we were happy with what she was ordering.
We wanted dried flower bouquets for one bride and 5 bridesmaids in sunset colours and they were just perfect. She made a bridal lapel piece that completed Amy's outfit and gorgeous corsages/buttonholes for our parents.

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dorina to anyone looking for a florist for an upcoming occasion. Thank you so much

Truly Amazing!

Where do we even begin? Choosing Dorina at Dorothy Seed to do our wedding flowers was hands-down one of the best decisions we made.

From the very first video call, Dorina was a total breath of fresh air—warm, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable. She instantly put us at ease and genuinely took the time to understand our vision: what we loved, what we didn’t, the overall style we were going for, and even what flowers and foliage would be in season. Her attention to detail was second to none.

Dorina created a WhatsApp group to keep us in the loop throughout the whole process, and she put together the most beautiful mood board that helped bring our ideas to life. She even met us at the venue well in advance to walk through everything with us—bringing along vases to explore styling options and sketching out the layout on her tablet to show us where everything would look best. Her familiarity with the venue and her great relationship with the staff instantly put our minds at ease—we knew we were in the best hands.

And then came the wedding day. Dorina was up bright and early, setting everything up with such care. She even helped me and the groomsmen with our buttonholes (we were absolutely useless), and then went up to present my wife and her bridesmaids with their bouquets—which were absolutely stunning. Every single arrangement was breathtaking, and the small details—like bringing vases for the bouquets to be displayed and taken home the next day—were such a thoughtful touch.

The venue looked nothing short of magical, and it was all thanks to Dorina’s incredible talent and vision. She has such a gift—not just for flowers, but for making people feel looked after and understood.

We genuinely can’t thank Dorina enough for helping to make our day so special. If we could get married 100 times over, we’d choose her every single time.

Thank you so much, Dorina!

You will fall in love with her passion

Dorina at Dorothy Seed Florist has been sensational to plan our wedding flowers with. We fell in love with her infectious passion for natural looking arrangements using a mix of dried and fresh foliage and flowers.

All I requested of Dorina was to have eucalyptus as this was the main theme of our wedding with the odd sprig of pampas, and I knew we could trust her with the rest. She delivered some of the most beautiful, whimsical and natural looking florals and foliage which matched our vision and venue perfectly.

Most of our flowers were sourced locally by Dorina, which is a major drive for Dorina with her eco-conscious florist mindset.

Dorinas energy, effortless talent, willingness to get stuck into any project and vision to dress any wedding venue with her beautiful arrangements is why her floristry skills are some of the best you will find.

Perfection

Dorina absolutely delivered the brief for our daughter and son in law’s wedding. A wildflower meadow isn’t the easiest of requests but it was exactly what Dorina created for us.

She listens carefully, thinks carefully and works carefully. She genuinely wants to do her very best for you and her love for flowers is very clear and infectious.

The flowers were beautiful and the wildflower flower arch was a stunning backdrop to the wedding ceremony and the photographs.

The bouquets were so pretty.

She is very creative - coming up with great ideas and extra details. She is so skilful and such lovely warm, calm and happy person to have with you on your wedding day.

As she promises, everything is natural and nothing goes to waste. She separated and wrapped the flowers for us to take away the next morning.

Dorina provided beauty and colour and we could not have found a lovelier or more professional florist. Thank you so much. We recommend her without hesitation.

Wonderful winter wedding

Dorina was so helpful and friendly, keeping in touch throughout with designs and ideas and guiding us through everything.

We absolutely loved our beautiful flower arch, table centrepieces, gorgeous bouquets and all the lovely wearables - plus the fact it was all seasonal and sustainable, even for a winter wedding, was the icing on the cake.

All of our guests commented on how beautiful and unique our flowers were, and we’re so happy to have been able to take some home dried to relive and remember the day.

Would absolutely recommend this talented florist to anyone!

Goes above and beyond

We are so glad to have chosen Dorothy Seed to supply flowers for our recent tipi wedding in Pembrokeshire. From the offset, nothing was too much for Dorina, who made the process of arranging wedding flowers easy from the word go. Dorina's process was entirely collaborative, from the initial moodboards, sharing of ideas, meetings in the stunning Newport Market, to the selection of flowers. I could 100% percent trust Dorina to bring our ideas to life and create wonderful displays for the tipi. In setting up the arrangements to taking them down, Dorina and her team were professional, welcoming and so easy to work with. It was a pleasure to have them play a part in our day, and I'd recommend them a hundred times over if you're looking for a florist to help bring your day to life.

An exceptionally talented florist!

Dorina in such a talented florist and we are so glad we found her! Sustainability was a big part of our wedding and we wanted our flowers to be as sustainable as possible. We had an initial meeting with Dorina and we instantly clicked! She provided with pictures of how our flowers would look like and she was available for every questions and every doubts we might have. As a final surprise, she also donated a tree for us which is such a thoughtful and personal touch.
Planning a wedding can be stressful but when you find people like Dorina, you know you're in good hands!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
