Stunning, and a phenomenal number of stems (and branches)
It was a beautiful day x
I wish you'd done my wedding These beautiful flowers are exactly what I wanted, just perfect. Instead my bouquet arrived with roses so wired up they looked fake, arranged in a dreadful triangle shape. I drove frantically into town to the florists, dumped the bouquet on the counter and explained that what they'd sent was exactly what Id asked them not to do. What I wanted was a hand tied bunch of flowers that looked like they'd just been picked from the hedgerows and garden. Thankfully they managed to pull something together while I waited and in the end it was lovely but I could have done without the stress on the morning of my wedding!
I hope you had a lovely long bath with a glass of bubbles when you stopped filming, you deserved it.
ooh I loathe a wired bouquet - so heavy! x
I loved how you joyfully pulled that trolley;)
I have impressive biceps x
Stunning! Love the Viburnum Opulus and the way you use so many different types of foliage. If I ever get married again I'll be in touch!
thank you x
Love, love, love, love, love!!!!
thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you x
Georgie, as a flower grower/arranger, (I can’t call myself a florist !) still in the early stages of my flowery adventure, @Cottageacreflowers, and with my first wedding in just 3 weeks, watching this video and your glorious arrangements, is such an inspiration. I absolutely love your natural, gathered from the garden style. Thank you so much for sharing. ☕️heading your way. ☺️💐
You can do it! Thank you x
This was the first video of yours that I watched and it coincided with my son's wedding for which I had offered to supply the flowers. I had not anticipated the late spring frost that occurred and wiped out all the roses. This is Northern California and in the 40 years I have grown flowers here that had never happened. So I tried potting up carnations and dahlias with mixed success. The bride's mother bought roses from the flower market and my daughter scored some beautiful sunflowers. My pride still suffers. The result has been that I'm hooked on your videos and learn something new with each viewing. I consider myself a flower farmer on a small scale and your insights are invaluable. Thanks for the inspiration and good humor. Best wishes. Susan at Wonderblooms.
ah thank you x
The beauty of the flowers in the church almost moved me to tears, well done

What a beautiful Video! Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it! x
Absolutely gorgeous. I took your great tip on a previous video regarding cutting dahlias regularly to encourage more bloom's brilliant
Glad it was helpful! x
I love it! So gentle and beautiful… and scented with lilac… heaven!
thank you x
So very beautiful ❤️ from Texas USA
thank you x
Absolutely beautiful! It's amazing you took the time to film it all!
Glad you enjoyed it! x
That was all so beautiful! You put in so much work in the preparation, it's amazing. (PS I had a smile early on when you said you were "half cut"--that's a local euphemism for a little drunk. ;)
lol - it is here too x
Uttterly stunning.
thank you x
Love your priorities. looking pretty not important. You are an influencer watching your vids influences people to be creative and real.
ah that's a great way of looking at it x
What an amazing display, both at the church and marquee. Truly beautiful, one very lucky bride. Thank you for sharing
pleasure x
I love the top tip in one of your wedding videos to put lavender and other herbs in the brides bouquet to help her relax!! Here is a ☕️ for you! 😘
thank you xxx
Oh golly, that took me back!
This is exactly what I used to do for a living before leaving the UK 15 yrs ago. Like you I always lost sleep wondering if everything survived the night /the move /the heat / the cold, etc. It's scary stuff!
A neighbour with the most amazing garden used to let me have freerein to cut but my flowers were mainly from Nine elms (Covent garden)
I now have a small flower farm and do small events and sell to cafes and blooms by the bucket for DIY customers.
I miss those beautiful ancient churches whose atmosphere gets into your very soul when working through the still of a summers night and the uncertainty of whether the marquee will be up and as planned on time, and ever hopeful the caterers will be easy to work alongside.
I think it's fair to say you nailed it! A slice of Country garden delivered right to your client.
I wonder if, like me, you go home all envigered and get stuck in to cleaning and tidying and have a warm glow about you or do you use so much energy you collapse in a heap to recover. ☺
Thank you so much for filming and sharing this lovely event with us all.
Well after this there was nothing in the fridge and the family to feed for supper and I hadn't replied to emails for about three days and and and... xxx
Thank you for another stunningly, beautiful floral video. All of your videos inspire me to keep on going in my own garden. You have no idea how much I appreciate seeing your lovely garden. I was born in England, in Merseyside, Cheshire. My family migrated to Australia when my sisters and I were children. My parents were avid gardeners here in Australia and my mother taught me so much about gardening. Even though I have moved from Victoria to Sth E Qld. I still plant as many English style plants as I can and incorperate them into my subtropical garden, especially in the cooler months of the year.
sounds as though your garden must be beautiful x
Stunning!
Thank you! 😊x
Not every day do you get to hang out in a 13th century church....just great....those tulips (just no words).....other than so Beautifully Spring....still morning frost on the ground here in Canada.....yes our...swallows just came back this week....ps....the quip about yours and the bride's Displacement OMG😉
thank you x
Good god, never gave it a thought about what goes into wedding arrangements..very eye opening..you are top notch my lady, impressive!
Thank you so much 😊x
Lovely! very enjoyable!!
thank you x
What a joy to see, wonderful Georgie you can’t believe all the work that goes into wedding flowers … so beautiful the bride must have been delighted …
I hope so x
I have only recently discovered your channel but my goodness - you do such beautiful work. ❤
Thankyou x
Just stunning!! All the pieces are breathtaking! 💕💝🥳
Thank you so much! x
So whimsical and timeless - beautiful!
thank you x
Absolutely stunning. The hard work can be underappreciated but my goodness this should be compulsory viewing. The smells must be amazing in your studio🌷
thank you x
Absolutely a beautiful spring collection of blooms.....fantastic🌟
thank you x
I loved that all the arrangements looked so natural
Thank you x
Oh Georgie, once again you have cast a magic spell over your arrangements - absolutely stunning. The hanging planks and veg boxes - inspirational! And wasn’t the crab apple blossom co-operative on the day. You always seem so calm and relaxed so it was a relief in a way to hear you say you are stressed the night before a wedding. I love your tip about digging up the tulips but part of me is heartbroken to see it happen. Hope you got rave comments from the bridal party.
Thank you so much! I think the bride's family are all having a lie in but am sure I'll see them when I go to fetch everything tomorrow x
@@theflowerfarmer I have been meaning to say for some time since I discovered you on UA-cam how much I appreciate you taking the time to leave a little comment for your viewers when you are obviously a very busy person. Have a restful weekend.
@@honoregale856 pleasure x
Absolutely stunning!
Thank you so much! x
Love this, thanks so much for sharing. Do like floral fabrications arch, great idea, May have to look into that for our local church in Devon.
I think all country churches should have one - then no more hammering nails into listed walls so garlands can be hung x
Really, really gorgeous 🌸🌷🌸 Love it 💚
thank you x
So beautiful!!
Thank you!! x
For someone who gets stressed putting a few stems in a vase this is staggering! Absolutely beautiful. One thing I am confused about...conditioning. I understand why to condition for bouquets but why if flowers are to go straight into a vase?
It’s worth it if they are going to be stressed by heat or delivery or only being in a little water to give them as good a condition as you would for floral foam work x
@@theflowerfarmer Aaah thank you that makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to respond. 🧡
@@flowerfairy1950 any time x
Wonderful!
Glad you think so! x
lové💗
thank you x
Wow❤😮😊🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
thank you x
wow gorjus, what happens to all you lovely arrangements after the wedding do they take they home?
Most of them get taken to the reception and then they are taken on by people from there - very little apart from the big hanging arrangements come back to us to be composted x
@@theflowerfarmer oh cool its so long ago since I was married I don't remember any flowers and I've been divorced for twice as long but I'm still hoping for a,second dream wedding just got to find someone to drag up the altar lol
Fabulous insight Georgie. Stunning flowers too. Just loved seeing it all.💐 How long does it take to cut 2000 stems?
Depends - but I cut about 400 stems an hour if garden well stocked and I'm not looking for too much detail x
@@theflowerfarmer 😮 that's impressive 👏 👏👏
You reference a “war memorial”. Which war and what is the significance to the bride and groom? (Just curious as I’ve never heard of this consideration before)
This is classic me - I put war memorial in the list when actually it was a little altar in the lady chapel that needed a posy. Often small country churches have war memorials which must not be forgotten when doing flowers, not least because if they are I have seen vergers/church wardens indignantly removing the biggest, best stems from the focal pieces at the front of the porch to pop in a jar by the war memorial, quite rightly reminding one of one's priorities and ruining the focal piece at the same time x
@@theflowerfarmer Fascinating and completely respectable. Well done!!
Very random question but how do you support your plants? Thanks in advance
in the garden or in the floristry?
@@theflowerfarmer in the garden
@@gardensecret4220 not much is the answer but where necessary horizontal mute netting or vertical for climbers x
Lord knows the wild look is quaint .. and texture can add movement ...
But lord the whole order was too loose aka charming mess the extending foilages on the bridal bouquet needed training into position rather than sticking out at any angle ..
There neede to be more feature accent stems .. and centering of the brightest colour ..
Clearly no one did go to floristry college ... Maybe did a year in a florists shop and thought that qualified them as a florist ...
Welll you get what you pay for ...
And a proper florist would put together a small wedding like this in eight hours alone or six with a trainee saturday girl ... Not take half a week on it
Ive fone three weddings with a total of eighteen bridesmaids 72 buttonholes thity table centres and church arrangements with one part time assistant in one weekend .. an trust me i started on friday .. and had a shop to run on friday and saturday customers to serve and a diary of other orders too.. i certainly know what it takes to get the job done ...
And whilst um sure no one will be disapointed by the volume and content ... The presentation isnt. Anything like as professional as it should be ...
And you give classes ??
What in ?
It's such a shame you've deleted your comments - I've answered as best as I can above, and hope I've managed to cover most of what you found most irritating about my work. I'm trying to find your website - you seem to have no clips here on UA-cam unless your account is under your business name and it's different to yours - or your instagram - I'd love to see your work? Please could you put links here?
How odd I can see your comments here but not on the laptop - please do post links to your website/social media so we can admire your work. It’s a shame that as you’re so brilliantly fast at everything you still consider a 70 hour week a relaxing walk in the park - your business sounds very busy so I do hope you enjoy it. Glad to see you still have time to look at other people’s work and comment as here. Please do post a link to your website/social media. I’d love to see what you do x
It isnt an arch ..
Its a third of an arch
A church arch can be gorty foot long .. and twenty foot high ...
Ten foot third of an arch is a cop out ..
Where are the feature flowers ..
A proper florist would make sure there were focals to train the eye up a designed arch ....
Just aess of branches ...
Maybe the budget wa too tight. To incorporate enough flowers ..
Well the family went stingy on the vases around the church and marquee ...
But you still could have done a better job ... Id have ordred peonies do or real focals
I'm so sorry you've deleted (I think - at least I can no longer see) your comments. I'm sorry you didn't like the work I made here. The half arch is a popular installation in this part of Somerset, not just because of budgetary constraints, but because it's a lighter look. The floristry I make is always created with fresh from the field flowers usually grown and harvested by myself or very locally supplied which is why this wedding couldn't have had peonies, for example in the arch. This tiny church in south Somerset is very beautiful, and I've created flowers for many weddings there over the years. I think it important to allow the church architecture to sing and not argue too much by overfilling the church with flowers. My bride's bouquets are always light hand ties, no weight, entirely compostable - it is for this light touch, allowing the flowers themselves to do all the singing, that customers come to me. Of course this is just my style, and naturally there will be potential customers who much prefer yours. What a relief for us both as there's plenty of work for all kinds of florists. I'm looking forward to having a mooch through your clips to see what I can learn. Have a lovely Sunday - from your deleted comments it sounds as though you're much too flat out to get much time off, so I hope that like me the work you do today is work you very much enjoy and choose to do. xxx
Also I do think it a bit mean of you to describe my clients as stingy. I'm sure you'll agree that part of a florist's work is to be able to create within a budget and that not all customers have tens of thousands to spend on an event. I've looked all over the internet for your business but can find nothing for Rachel Alder Flowers or Florals or Florist... I would love to see your work to compare with mine but no joy. Please do put your business or business social media links here so that I can have a look.
