Pintrest and Instagram, these are the major channels bride and grooms always head straight to when looking at ideas for their wedding flowers. The main flower 9 out of 10 couples always mention to me is Gypsophila! This is thanks to it always sneaking in on these popular social media channels in every wedding picture!

This months blog focuses on how to get the most out of your cut flowers if you're buying them direct from the florist or even the supermarket - although as a florist myself I can say spending that little extra at the florist can make the world of difference in terms of freshness and quality, as any good florist will only purchase the best from their supplier.

Just like that we are into the festive season,like a flash the autumnal delights of deep purples and burnt oranges are beginning to be phased out in favour of velvety reds, rich greens, sparkly silvers and glistening golds! It's definitely feels like Christmas is in the air!

We have been supper busy at Feather & Foxglove HQ preparing Christmas wreaths, table designs and bouquets for you to enjoy over the coming festive season!

October is finally here and we are officially into autumn. Although we have waved goodbye to gorgeous peonies and sweet peas we enter the bountiful harvest of autumn delights! From breath taking Dahlia's, golden Sun Flowers to our heavenly hedgerows full of berries, fruits and crisp burnt orange foliage - hands down its my favourite time of year as an experimental florist!

When setting up Feather & Foxglove I wanted to be a florist with a twist, creating not just beautiful bouquets but a range of hand crafted fresh fragrant natural gifts.

When initially experimenting with the idea I knew I wanted to only use natural environmentally friendly ingredients in all of our products. Especially in recent years we are all becoming more mindful of the environmental credentials of the products we are purchasing.

Hello and welcome to Feather & Foxgloves first blog! My name is Emily and I am the founder of Feather & Foxglove. I'm a lover of everything natural and the environment, I guess that comes from my up bringing of growing up on family farm in the heart of the Warwickshire countryside. I like to take this love into my floral art encompassing natural beauty and experimenting with textures to create soft yet vibrant bouquets.
