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! -

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! -

Couldn’t recommend Fiona enough!
From the very start Fiona has been nothing short of fantastic. She invited us to her home to visit her beautiful garden and welcomed us with scones and tea. She was friendly, flexible and full of fantastic ideas to make my vision a reality. The flowers she delivered on our wedding day were beautiful and exactly what I envisioned. I’m so grateful for every effort that Fiona put into our beautiful flowers and think the value for money is incredible. I couldn’t recommend her more! Thank you so much!-

Wonderful lady, wonderful flowers!
Fiona did a fantastic job on our wedding flowers! She was so welcoming and knowledgeable when I visited her home garden where she grows all her own flowers, loved having them grown and arranged locally. We didn't have many set ideas or expectations for flowers, but Fiona guided us through the process and made a beautiful bridal bouquet, 5 bridesmaids bouquets, 5 grooms/men button holes, and a sweet little wand for my baby flower girl! Thank you so much forbthe gorgeous arrangements!Upsidedowninaflowerbed's reply:
Truly loved the opportunity of working with you. Not many couples use the dark red you chose for your bouquets which made such a change to how the flowers worked together - and looked so beautiful for your special day. Loved you photographs and that the bouquet worked so well!-

Dont think twice ! Just book!
Fiona is amazing. I cannot thank her enough. Due to a medical emergency I left everything to the last minute. Fiona was at my rescue and went above and beyond thinking of all the small things i had forgotten like a vase for my bouquet through the day. Her flowers were stunning and grown by her and she got me the perfect colour pallet even when I wasn't sure myself what I wanted. She took everything off my plate asked for numbers and just went with it making everything much more easer for me so I could focus on all the other things. I cannot thank her enough or recommend her enough.Upsidedowninaflowerbed's reply:
It was wonderful to be able to support you both on your wedding day, even if it was somewhat more remote than usual! The venue and your families were wonderful, with everyone working together to make sure you had what you needed for a truly special day. I am so happy that you were pleased with your flowers, your colours for the event looked beautiful - looking forward to seeing your photos and hope that you come to visit sometime! -

Phil and Amelia’s wedding
What can I say about Fiona? She was absolutely everything you are looking for in a florist!
Firstly, she was very open to my ideas and sharing ideas of her own! She told me what could work and if she felt something would work well, she would provide advice.
She let me and my husband visit her garden which she grows the flowers from, offered us tea, coffee and scones and went through every little details with enough time for me to change my plans if I wanted to.
She was completely accommodating to my changes I made (I added orange flowers in towards the end) and made everything look absolutely beautiful.
Some flowers did break away from the bouquets but that it was it is expected from fresh flowers.
Would definitely recommend her.

It was a real pleasure to work with you you to plan and curate the flowers for your special day. The addition of a little impactful colour really lifted your bouquet and the addition of other flowers gave you some depth and texture - so pleased that they came together the way they did. you all looked so beautiful!
I am so disappointed that a few flowers dropped petals - a natural process in changing temperatures and not something that happens usually - hopefully this didn't detract from the overall bouquets. It would be wonderful to see some of your photographs.-

Couldn't rate her higher!!!!
Well what can I say, Fiona and her flowers are just magic 🥰. Not only we're my flowers just insanely gorgeous but Fiona made the whole process just wonderful. From visits to her beautiful garden, phone calls, messages and of course Grahams scones, I couldn't fault a single thing. I found upside down in a flower bed through hitched and the name caught my eye immediately, I knew this was my kind of woman. Not knowing Fiona or any florists in the area I had no idea what to expect. But she listened to my brief and advised me so well on how best to create my desired look and I just can't put into words how these flowers were beyond what I expected. I've dried some and I've pressed some so they'll be with me forever! Thank you so much Fiona and of course Graham for his scones. We really do hope to stay in touch. All the best, Evie and Rich-

Oh Evie, thank you so much, that's so generous of you. It was lovely to work with you both and to plan the flowers that would create beautiful bouquets and buttonholes for your special day. The colours you chose made creating your flowers so amazing and brought a real brightness to your wedding day in mid-February. It was wonderful to support you and on your birthday too! I really hope that you come and visit us again soon. there will always be fresh scones waiting for you !! -

Fabulous Flowers & Service
From initial enquiry to delivery of flowers to the wedding venue, Fiona and Graham were professional, friendly and welcoming each time we saw each other. Fiona was able to work with the requirements I had, and produced such stunning bouquets and buttonholes for our special day. Her recommendations of adding different type of flowers to elevate the flower arrangement made the bouquets and buttonholes look exceptional. Highly recommend the flowers that Fiona grows, they lasted for more than 2 weeks from when they were cut.Upsidedowninaflowerbed's reply:

Fiona is fantastic!
Fiona did the flowers for our wedding on 8 November - she was amazing all throughout the process from when we first enquired! We were amazed seeing her garden where she grows the flowers she uses. We really loved the idea of having local, seasonal flowers, so Fiona was perfect for us! On the day she more than surpassed our hopes for the flowers - we had a floral arch, a bridal bouquet, bridesmaid bouquet and three buttonholes for the groom and two groomsmen as well as around 50 bud vases. We couldn’t have asked for more beautiful flowers - they absolutely made the day and the setting. The price was very reasonable for what we had. We can’t thank you enough Fiona!Upsidedowninaflowerbed's reply:
..ah thank you for such kind words. It means a great deal that I was able to support you both on your special day. It was an absolute pleasure to provide everything you needed and I am really pleased that you loved the outcome! There were so many flowers the venue smelt amazing and the colours you chose looked stunning in the autumn light - so pretty and bright! I hope the Arch supports the flowers in your own garden - get in touch if you want any help choosing - the more we grow the better for wildlife! Wishing you all the best for your future happiness, keep in touch! -
