Last update: May 2026

Hello! I am Clare Ashcroft one half of Flower Farm Floristry, a flower farm and florist based in Lancashire.

At the heart of our business is a simple idea — wedding flowers should feel personal, beautiful and completely suited to you, without the stress or inflated price tag that can sometimes come with weddings.

We’re a friendly, down-to-earth team who love working closely with couples to create flowers that feel natural, relaxed and thoughtfully put together. Some couples come to us with a full Pinterest board, others have no idea where to start, and that’s absolutely fine. We’ll guide you through the process honestly and help you make the most of your budget without overcomplicating things.

We’re known for our fresh, seasonal style and for using real flowers with plenty of texture, movement and scent. We grow a lot of our flowers ourselves here in Lancashire, which means we can include unusual varieties and truly seasonal ingredients that you don’t often see in standard wedding flowers.

If you book around 12 months in advance, we can even grow flowers specifically for your wedding. It’s one of our favourite parts of what we do — planning colours and varieties ahead of time so your flowers feel even more personal to your day.

We’re highly qualified and experienced florists, with years of industry experience including teaching professional floristry, but we keep things relaxed and approachable. Couples often tell us they enjoy how straightforward and easy the process feels working with us.

We create wedding flowers across the North West, from the Lake District down to Cheshire, working at everything from rural barns and marquees to country houses and modern venues.

Above all, we want your flowers to feel like you. Every wedding is different, so we take the time to create designs that fit your style, venue and budget properly, while always being honest, practical and good value for money.

Couldn't ask for a better wedding supplier!

Clare and Alison, we cannot thank you enough for what you brought to the wedding, people were so impressed with all of the flowers, particularly how amazing they smelled. I ordered 6 buckets to make bud vases, bridesmaids bouquets and some flowers for the entrance, and had a brilliant time arranging them on the Thursday and Friday. I think it was the only thing that managed to keep me calm before the wedding, and a dream to be surrounded by so many beautiful flowers. It was extra special knowing they were grown up the road and by such lovely people. We then had a beautiful arch for the ceremony and mantle piece display, my bouquet, my wife's pocket arrangement, cake flowers and a bouquet for a relative who was performing which were brought by Clare and Alison on the day. You took the ideas from our first consultation and really brought them to life and more. You were so lovely from the very beginning, as well as professional and so responsive throughout. We couldn't have asked for a better vendor. I have and will continue to recommend you to anyone I speak to, and would definitely work with you both again for any future events. Thank you!

Excellent service and beautiful flowers

We had our wedding day in Briars Hall in September and although I created a few DIY faux floral pieces, I wanted to enhance the look with some fresh flowers. Alison met with me before the wedding and I talked through the colours and type of flowers I had already used and sent her a few snaps. Using that information the Flower Farm made the most beautiful bouquet and top table arrangement which perfectly complimented the pre made pieces. The flowers were fresh, beautifully arranged and smelled amazing!

The perfect wild, seasonal florals

The Flower Farm did the florals for our wedding in May and I cannot sing the praises of these ladies and their amazing work enough. We wanted a really natural, wild look using seasonal, locally grown flowers as much as possible and they absolutely NAILED the brief. I couldn't believe how beautiful everything was, and we had SO many compliments from guests and other vendors alike on the day, with some people telling us they were the most beautiful wedding flowers they'd ever seen. (Of course I agree!!!) Communication and organisation was incredible throughout as well, Clare and Alison were an absolute delight and made the process super easy and stress free. If you want absolutely stunning florals with a focus on sustainability then I cannot recommend the Flower Farm enough.

Beautiful flowers and great value for money

Alison and Clare were amazing, what set them apart and made us pick them was their in depth knowledge of flowers, their exclusive use of fresh flowers, their responsiveness over email and their value for money - by far the best in our area. They were also very flexible with us, offering lots of different options to suit our budget. The floral arrangements they made for our day were beautiful and beyond what we could have hoped for. Overall, I would thoroughly recommend The Flower Farm to any couple.

Everything we needed and more!

We had a small intimate wedding and the flower farm was absolutely perfect for what we needed! Absolutely no hassle at all and the flowers were honestly perfect. We had 3 bouquets and 3 buttonholes along with a bucket of flowers to create our own small display arrangements. The team were so lovely and helpful and took all the stress away from organising this part of our wedding. Thanks again Clare and Alison!

Excellent, would recommend

I was so pleased that we used The Flower Farm for our wedding day. They were recommended to us by a friend and I particularly liked that they offered a bucket of individually stemmed flowers so that I could incorporate this into our table decor as we made it all ourselves. The night before the wedding, myself and bridesmaids had a lovely evening putting the stems in the vases and as the bucket was full to the brim we filled even more vases than we thought! I had very little idea about flowers and just gave an idea of what I was hoping to achieve in our initial meeting and The Flower Farm did an amazing job understanding my vision and they were accommodating when I changed the colour theme of our wedding and as a result of that, the bouquets too. I had so many compliments on my bouquet and have found somewhere that will dry and frame them so I can keep them forever!

Our flowers were PERFECT!

The Flower Farm provided the flowers for our wedding in July 2022 and we couldn't have been happier - they were perfect. Clare takes the time to really understand what you want and was always so quick to respond to any of our questions. They worked seamlessly with our venue, Meols Hall, too. We've even dried some bouquets and have arranged them in a few vases in our home and they still look amazing!

We couldn't recommend them highly enough!

Amazing Wedding Flowers - the Flower Farm

The flower farm and Clare were the most amazing people to work with. So friendly and accommodating and they created the most gorgeous bouquets, button holes and arrangements. We gave quite an open brief with a colour scheme and a request it looked like we used some wild flowers and what they came back with was amazing.

Gorgeous, seasonal, bright and perfectly suited to our colour scheme and venue. Everyone commented on them and they still look gorgeous in all our homes a week later. I would highly recommend the flower farm.

Clare Ashcroft Ashcroft
Florist and Flower Farmer

Hi, I’m Clare – the face behind The Flower Farm.

My love for flowers started young, helping my grandad tend to his sweet peas in the garden. There’s something about growing and gathering flowers that’s always just felt like home to me, and that feeling still sits at the heart of everything I do today.

After leaving school, I trained in floristry and went on to achieve the highest qualification available in the UK at the time. I spent years working in different florists and later as a floral design lecturer, before taking the leap and starting The Flower Farm in 2007.

A few years later, in 2011, we began growing many of the flowers we use ourselves. It was a natural step for me and completely changed the way we work – bringing in beautiful, seasonal blooms that are full of scent, character and a real sense of place.

Today, I create relaxed, romantic wedding flowers inspired by the seasons and the countryside around us. Every wedding is completely bespoke, designed to feel natural, personal and true to you – never stiff or overly styled.
