Unique Service from Seedlings to Stunning Arrangements
Fiona grows her own flowers and foliage, managing careful planting, strategic cutting, and timing the growth cycle to ensure that the blooms are at their absolute best, perfection, for the day of your wedding.
As well as having magic powers in the garden she is a wonderful listener, this super power meant that she realised our dreams of colour and structure, gently guiding our choices and suggesting combinations that worked wonderfully well for an October wedding.
As well as having incredible visual impact the subtle scent of the locally grown arrangements was just glorious, all through the RSA the table arrangements and hangings gently perfumed the building.
Fiona made flower crowns for the tiny bridesmaids that they didn't want to take off, button holes for the groomsmen that complemented the bridesmaids bouquets and added unique blooms to the Groom's buttonhole and Bride's bouquet symbolising their special relationship.
On a larger scale she manufactured meadow boxes that lined the Grand Staircase and decorated the Vaults for the after party.
Fiona's approach to sustainability is impressive, she is happy to source vintage cut crystal and glassware and her lovely husband makes the meadow boxes (as well as delicious scones) so that they are a perfect fit for the space. At her suggestion we gifted the individual tiny vases that decorated the tables as wedding favours providing a personal and exclusive treasure to take home that will be enjoyed for years to come.
Air miles are not a concern as all our flowers were grown by Fiona right here in the UK, in her garden and on her allotment, but there was some milage to take into account. Fiona is based near Chesterfield but arrived in London bright eyed and bushy tailed on Saturday morning to bring the wedding to life.
The consultation process was great, initially by email, thank you Hitched, then over the phone and finally in person where we visited twice, once to talk in principle and then a few weeks before to finalise all the tiny details, and to see our flowers almost ready to be cut.
We wholeheartedly recommend Upside-down in a Flower Bed, Fiona's knowledge is only matched by her skill.Upsidedowninaflowerbed's reply:
Thank you so much for such a wonderful review!
It was a pleasure and privilege to design and create what you wanted to make the wedding special. Understanding your vision meant I could grow flowers and foliage especially for you.
Dressing the venue was great fun, as was creating unique bouquets that smelled deliciously of herbs, garden flowers and roses.
I hope the wedding photographs remind you of a wonderful day filled with beautiful flowers and fabulous memories! -

Don’t hesitate to book!! Fantastic flowers!!
Fiona is an artist! She is truly so so creative and she spent so long taking the time to understand the day and the vibe we were going for. Fiona kindly invited us to her garden to see the flowers and her lovely husband made scones for us, and we had the most wonderful afternoon. In the lead up to the wedding, Fiona sent pictures of my flowers and the bud vases and communication with timings and drop offs could not have been better. On the day, Fiona brought the calm into the room, and the flowers looked stunning! She also left extra vases at the venue to make sure we could use the bouquets later, and she sent pictures of the set up at the venue. The flowers were exactly what we wanted! We had so many comments on them - the colours, the little touch of the marigolds! Everything was perfect. Thank you so much Fiona!!Upsidedowninaflowerbed's reply:
Thank you so much Aayushi. It was delightful to support you with your wedding and to meet some of your family... I so enjoyed working with you and getting the flowers ready for you- the colours and scents of the flowers and especially the marigolds were so heady! I loved how they came together to create bright and colourful bouquets and table flowers.
You looked so beautiful on the day and I am so glad that you guests were able to enjoy a few of the bud vases afterwards. I hope you will stay in touch and that you always feel welcome to come and visit us again! x-

Fiona and her flowers are absolutely amazing!!!!
I honestly couldn’t recommend Fiona more! From the very first time we met, she was so warm, welcoming and lovely, and the whole experience of working with her was just incredibly special.
Fiona went above and beyond to bring my vision to life, including hand-picking flowers from her own garden to create our bouquets and wedding flowers. I had asked for beautiful blue shades, and somehow she created something even more gorgeous than I ever could have imagined!
The little finishing touches were what made everything so perfect. Having different flowers for each of my bridesmaids, which were then all incorporated into my own bouquet, was such a beautiful and personal detail. It was absolutely perfection and made the flowers feel so unique and meaningful.
Even the meet and greet at Fiona’s house was such a lovely experience — sitting down with a cup of tea and her homemade scones felt so personal and welcoming, and really showed how much care and thought she puts into everything she does.
The flowers were genuinely one of my favourite parts of the whole wedding and I will never forget how beautiful they were. A huge thank you to Fiona for creating something so incredibly special and for making the whole experience so lovely. I could not recommend her more! xxxUpsidedowninaflowerbed's reply:
What a lovely opportunity for a glorious Spring wedding, with a simple colour palette but that looked so fresh and pretty!
I loved the being able to grow and cut the flowers for you and bring them together for your amazing wedding day! It makes me happy to know that you loved your flowers and that you enjoyed your visit to the garden - come again any time! we would love to see you :) xx

What a lovely afternoon we spent planning your wedding flowers with your family! The venue was beautiful and the choice of large soft pink hydrangeas with hints of white and blue meant we could make the most of your table urns and bouquets. You looked stunning and the additional family flowers were an amazing addition to bring everything together, So pleased you enjoyed the flowers, if you are ever nearby - come and see us! x-

Fantastic Florist
We loved working with Fiona for our wedding flowers. My partner and I didn't have a specific vision for our flowers, but Fiona really helped us craft one by taking us through her garden and showing us some great options for seasonal flowers. The flowers looked stunning on the day, and were commented upon by all of our guests. It really made the day more special, helped even more so by the fact that they are all grown locally. The homemade scones provided upon our visits were also a lovely touchUpsidedowninaflowerbed's reply:
Thank you for your lovely review- it was great to work with you both too. The colours and scent from the flowers was so lovely in the room, i'm pleased everyone enjoyed them. really hope you come back and see us sometime - you'll always be welcome! Our best wishes for your future happiness! x -

Stunning, fantastic
From start to finish, planning, advising and showing ys her garden, this lady (Fiona ) was amazing, from not knowing what to organise, Fiona took control of our flowers with listening to our ideas to colours and styles. I can say anymore than she was bloody fantastic,
Plus her scones and teas where out of this world xxx
Many many thanks xx

Fiona was fantastic
Fiona was absolutely wonderful- she was the most helpful, supportive and calm person to have on her team and was a god send! Our visits were so personal being able to see the flowers being grown for us (and the home made treats!)
I was struggling to picture exactly what I wanted so we picked some must haves and left Fiona to do what she does best and what she created us was stunning! Cannot thank her or recommend her enoughUpsidedowninaflowerbed's reply:
It was wonderful to be able to support you with flowers on you wedding day, the church looked great with your meadow boxes lining the aisle! Your pictures are so lovely - I am glad you had such a wonderful day- come and see us sometime xx-

Flowers of my dreams!
Fiona has been wonderful and welcoming since I first reached out to her. I met with her in her studio, where she spoke me through my options, listened to what kind of flowers I was looking for, and even had some scones. Her garden is beautiful, and she even invited me to pop by at any time, which I did take her up on a couple times. We trusted her with our vision and she absolutely delivered. I couldn't have asked for more perfect flowers on our special day. They are still lasting now, a week later too! Thank you so so much Fiona, for your creativity and know-how, enabling our vision to come to life! We will be sure to visit your lovely garden again soon :)-

Fiona is an angel of creativity and understanding
Fiona was incredible. She immediately understood my autumnal vision — the textures, colours, and scents I dreamed of. When we met in her garden that September, over coffee and scones, I knew I’d found a kindred spirit in colour. Though the weeks before the wedding were hectic and we couldn’t meet again in person, her communication was flawless, and I trusted her completely. Her professionalism, creativity, and reliability made everything effortless. My bouquet was breathtaking — rich jewel tones, layered textures, and intoxicating scents. If you want someone who truly reads your vision and brings it to life with artistry and heart, Fiona is the one.-

Five star flowers
Fiona was the friendliest florist I think we could have asked for! We had a wonderful time meeting up with her to discuss our flowers and getting a tour of her fantastic garden.
She was super flexible to our needs and able to deliver the most beautiful flowers that ticked all of our boxes.
We really felt her passion in her work. It was a joy to have such a beautiful bouquet that felt like it represented me.
Thank you!Upsidedowninaflowerbed's reply:
although I only created your bouquet - it made it all the more important to create something you would enjoy and love on the day! The flowers looked so lovely with your dress - hope it creates memories for the rest of your lives together. Come back to see us anytime if you are free sometime! x -
