    Beautiful flowers from a beautiful soul! ❤️

    I couldn’t have even dreamed of a better florist than Emma! From the first messages to her support on the day, she went above and beyond for us, creating the most gorgeous display of wild, ethically sourced flowers. I found The Flower Collective as I was looking for a more sustainable approach to floristry. We hosted our wedding at our friends gorgeous wild land, wanting the florals to reflect our passion for using what’s in season, while also utilising foliage from the landscape itself. Emma created the most dreamy, colourful bouquets, buttonholes for the groomsmen, milk churns, table displays, a beautiful flower crown and even decoration that wrapped around the tipi’s. We booked to create the table decor together the day before the wedding and it was so much fun gathering greenery from the landscape, with Emma teaching us about the local plants. With such beautiful flowers, the wedding felt like the set of an enchanted, fairy movie - it more than exceeded my expectations! We didn’t give her too much of a brief, apart from a few suggested colours and I would highly recommend this!! It was wonderful to see her creative juices get flowing and to have a bit of a surprise on the day. Emma is the warmest, loveliest person and does anything to make the married couple feel relaxed and content. I couldn’t recommend her more. Thank you so much! ❤️💐✨🌻

    Amazing florist

    I have known Emma for a while now and I knew her work would be amazing. Her creativity and attention to detail is excellent, she has a straight up attitude and knows exactly what she is doing. Would highly recommend.

    The flowers she done at my wedding was stunning, so glad I used Emma.

    Best day ever!!!

    Emma was an absolute dream from start to finish ! She completely understood the assignment from the first call and created the best vision board. She was always able to answer any questions and was willing to help with any other weddings related questions I had.
    The day of the wedding came and we where blown away by her professionalism and composure. We had to move our originally outdoor ceremony indoors due to the weather and she created the most incredible alternative aisle for us which we absolutely adored !!
    We had a small mishap with our cake but Emma took charge once again and sorted that for us, completely taking all the stress away on the wedding morning.

    Book Emma if you want a professional, hilarious and extremely talented lady looking after your floral at any occasion !

    A true florist visionary!

    The flowers absolutely transformed the room and I got non stop compliments on my bouquet.

    Emma really is an artist and I can see that no two weddings are the same with her. Emma made my wedding unique to us and brought my vision to life, even though all I gave her was a handful of flowers that I liked.

    If you want a truly bespoke service, provided by a florist dedicated to flowers and sustainability, one who is flexible and reasonably priced. Look no further!

    More than a florist

    Where do we start with The Flower Collective and Emma?

    We were not looking for a cookie-cutter wedding florist, but something completely bespoke and somebody open to developing our ideas. This is exactly the service that Emma brought to our wedding planning and wedding day.

    Exceedingly bubbly, energetic and passionate for all things flowers and growing, our very first meeting with Emma exceeded our expectations. We were seeking a wildflower meadow inspired theme for our wedding and she totally understood the brief. We already had a list of plants and flowers we wanted to include and she provided even more wonderful additions and ideas on how we could achieve the final look and product. Needless to say we secured our date with Emma straight away, twenty two months ahead of our wedding date. When you know, you know. And we knew!

    Emma stayed in contact with us the entire time in the lead up to our wedding, accommodating additional planning calls with us to iron out any creative challenges that we were facing along the way. She managed everything without causing us worry or stress and her professionalism and obvious experience was reassuring.

    The flowers for our wedding were incredibly important for us for a number of reasons and Emma was completely sensitive to this. In the week leading up to our wedding she was actively sharing preparation updates, not just from her studio but also from her local grower’s fields as well, where many of our flowers were to come from. We definitely would not have got such a personalised, intimate service from any other florist. She was completely organised and on top of everything!

    On the wedding day, Emma conducted the set up in a completely stress-free way. She even went above and beyond coming to visit us in our prep rooms, to bring all the beautiful wildflower buttonholes and reassure us that everything was going to plan and looking beautiful. She was not wrong!

    The chapel where our ceremony took place looked absolutely breathtaking with her arrangements adorning the window ledges, floor space and even foliage towering and draping from the stone pillars. Our guests were simply mind-blown by her work and our venue staff even commented their space had never looked so beautiful.

    We had built a lovely relationship with Emma throughout our planning and she remained at the venue to see us and share our first-look in our wedding breakfast room. This meant the world to us, was full of emotion and is a moment in our wedding day we will never forget.

    Emma also provided beautiful floral arrangements for our Mum’s, in-keeping with our wildflower theme as well as buttonholes for our Dad’s and best men.

    Without a doubt she is one of the most impactful suppliers we had the pleasure of working with for our wedding. What you see from her social media stories and posts is exactly what you get. She simply brings joy wherever she goes.

    Thank you Emma for creating our dream wedding flowers, we are eternally grateful to you.

    Spectacular, spectacular!

    Emma from start to finish has been an absolute legend to work with. From her creativity to her positivity, to her suggestions at the venue. To her being there to support us all day at the venue, double checking on us and making sure everything was going smoothly. My bouquet and the bridesmaids bouquets were absolutely stunning!! Our broken flower arch, Meadow box, button holes and flower girl wands, as well as our bud vases were gorgeous. I would highly recommend using Emma at the Flower Collective! She even did a Flower bar for us in our turnaround which our guests loved!
    Thank you so much!

    Stunning bouquets

    So so happy with my wedding flowers. I initially wanted something completely different (which I didn’t actually want haha!) and we redesigned something much more me and omg it delivered!

    Had so many compliments on how different it was and I was so happy with how it all came together. So much so I’m currently having them preserved and framed (which I wasn’t going to do before!)

    Super quick responses and so helpful. Would use again and would 100% recommend flower quality was excellent and the bouquets looked like pieces of art xx

    Emma is incredible

    Emma and her beautiful flowers were without a doubt one of the biggest highlights to our day. Her passion and enthusiasm for what she does is exceptional and I knew from the first time I met her that I could trust her to bring our vision to life! Her responses were quick and she kept me updated with little sneak peaks in the lead up to our wedding day which was so special. One of the loveliest, kind and talented people in the business and you would be crazy to not book her for your events to be honest!

    ‘The best flowers I’ve ever seen’

    How do we even begin to describe how amazingly, incredibly, perfect our wedding flowers were. Emma your skills and design are truly out of this world.

    From the moment we reached out to Emma we knew she was the florist for us. Just a few words on our wedding style and Emma absolutely nailed the mood board and completely got on board with my crazy ideas and Gavin and Stacey themed dream wedding.

    We asked for bright, pink, orange with mirror balls and oh boy did she deliver. With little input from us Emma truly created my dream bouquet and the table pieces and centre piece genuinely took our breath away.

    You can definitely tell that Emma uses the best quality products, and created such a beautiful and unique arrangement, flowers that I genuinely never even knew existed!

    The recurring comment we had from all our guests was how our flowers were so unique and honestly the best flowers they’d ever seen and we completely agree!

    Emma is such a lovely and heart warming person, from the video phone call prior to my hen do, to helping me set up my wedding venue the day before the wedding, she genuinely went above and beyond and her happiness and excitement really shines from her and made our flowers feel like such a special part of our day.

    We can’t thank Emma enough for genuinely making our wedding day, please please please use Emma for your wedding flowers if you want to have the best, unique and absolutely stunning floral arrangements that will have every one of your guests commenting!!

    Just wow!!!

    Thank you so much for making our day so special 🩷

    Ahhhmazing!!

    We had the best experience with Emma! Our first meeting was bubbly and fun filled with ideas. We refined that idea over the course of a number of calls/texts and video meetings to meet our budget but also what we visualised but Emma bought her own ideas as well which really helped pull everything together (we do not know flowers!!). As it was in October we wanted to lean into the fall but not into Halloween too much and the outcome was just phenomenal - pumpkins, seasonal flowers, dried flowers and pinecones etc just really made everything feel autumnal. Emma is not only a fantastic florist but every interaction we had made us feel a connection with her as well.
