- DIY wedding flowers in winter? Just say yes but THINK about the process x
Flower farmer and florist Georgie Newbery takes you through the process of making a teeny tiny wedding for her friends and neighbours at her village pub in Charlton Musgrove. With a visit to her tiny village church, St Stephen's, Charlton Musgrove, from which the Haskell brothers left in the late 1600s to find a new life in America, Georgie shows you budget, time, thought, and little extras, and how what's also happening in the village church on an every day basis, are worth considering when making flowers for a wedding.
The flowers in this clip are mostly from Cornwall and they are:
alstroemeria
paperwhite narcissi
ranunculus
tanacetum
and tulips from old Lincolnshire
The Cornish supply comes from BJ Richards just across the Tamar, and the tulips come from Smith and Munson in Lincolnshire.
The greenery is all grown and harvested at Common Farm Flowers in Somerset.
Enjoy - and be inspired - xxx and remember, if you're not commissioning a florist to help with your wedding flowers you will still have to do all the work the florist would have, and if you are a florist be reassured, because your skill and knowledge and experience are worth their weight in gold.

Nice video. What generous people to donate towards repairing that lovely church roof. It’s a pity the C of E Church Commisioners couldn’t have coughed up that money - they’re rich enough!
ha! don't get me onto the management of the C of E! x
I also love the ivy arch, you can't go wrong - simple yet sophisticated.🌼
It did work well x
Georgie, you are the Julia Child of flowers! Exquisite!
G now there’s an compliment! Thankyou
I LOVE the arch made out of ivy, briliant! I am doing my own wedding flowers in July so it's lovely to hear some tips :) We are having a 10 guest wedding + I love gardening and I take care of my grandparents 1 acre of garden. I will be growing lots of zinnias, asters, sweet peas and cosmos + using grandma's beautiful David Austen roses. Can't wait to start planting! Love from the Czech Republic
The ten guest wedding is PERFECT! Enjoy all of it xxx
What an absolutely charming ancient church!!!
It is a beauty x
What a fabulous arch Georgie. I absolutely love the naturalness of it and all the wedding flowers.
Aw Thankyou x
Oh Georgie! This made me a little emotional; the flowers are beautiful, I adore the ivy arch and the image of those candles twinkling in the windows. One can’t help but think of all the generations of people who exchanged their vows in that exact same spot for hundreds of years. Thank you so much for sharing this. X
My pleasure - it is a treasure of a place x
Oh my that is beautiful! Especially for a winter wedding!
Thankyou x
Always important to know the site for arrangements. While stands out among the greenery, and you have taught me to plant beautiful specimens. It's glorious!
Thankyou x
Welcome back! I love your no nonsense can do approach. The wedding flowers were beautiful and I am sure the bride and groom were thrilled. So wanted to be there!

Perfect arch looks beautiful … love the bouquets simply exquisite … hope the weather wasn’t too awful the bride would look lovely under the arch …
The weather was AWFUL! But the bride and groom very happy xxx
Those water containers... "they were a good idea. One day they'll be connected." hahaha!
Hohoho!
I like the flexibility of the design & making the most of what's around. Inspiration for me, thank you. As the only British style floral designer in Sydney, I can feel closer to my English roots through my designs & watching your channel.
Ah Thankyou x
You really know how to bring your “ bits and pieces” together. As usual everything was stunning. Thank you so much for taking us along to see your beautiful 800 year old church! Would love to stroll down the streets of your village. By the way, I’m loving your Christmas cap. Your friend in South Carolina.😀👍
Yes I must do more of where I live - promise I will xxx
@@theflowerfarmer thank you so much
What a beautiful church! I love trying to find evidence of a North Door on very old churches. 😊
The flowers are absolutely gorgeous. 😊

Yay for the Haskell’s 🤣. Very pretty arrangements. That star in the church bothered my sense of aesthetics 😁 Loved the ivy! Great idea!
thank you x

Thankyou xxx
Very beautiful work and the church is LOVELY 🌷
the church is truly a little treasure x
Just lovely..and the arch is perfect!
thank you x
Awesome use of ivy
Thankyou x
I really loved this video Georgie! So interesting and I especially loved hearing about the church history and the story of the Haskell's. It is reminiscent of my own family history and my 3x great grandparents who were among the first white settlers in my part of NZ and came from a tiny Cornish village. My 3x great grandmother sewed seeds into the hems of her gowns to start her garden with. Her garden is now a tourist attraction. The flowers looked lovely and that arch - wow! Great job - hope all went well on the day. :)
What a great story about your great great great grandmother! I too have family in New Zealand and my grandmother was born in Australia so round and round the world we go xxx
So wonderful to watch!
Thankyou x
What love you bring to these flowers for this bride and groom! 💐 I love the gentle relaxed feeling of the bouquets and buttonhole (using your English there!), just beautiful! Thank you, Georgie! 💟 Tammi @basketofblooms
My pleasure x
Fantastic! So precious and perfect,!
Lovely fresh start to the year x
I have recently discovered your channel here “ across the pond” and really enjoy your style. Have appreciated the tips!!!
Glad you like them! x
Bucketing with rain…never had heard that. Well, I live in St Paul, Minnesota, USA, and Haskells own very good wine and liquor stores here.
How great that you have some Haskells - always bucketing with rain here x
Wonderful
Thank you x
lové
Merci x
I am a forager and love her style and expertise. I would love to visit. Is that possible? Where do you live?
We are in Somerset south west UK - we have garden tour dates in the summer and early autumn if you'd like to book a visit x
Good day. Will some of your seed supply recommendations ship to the US?
No, sorry - I think we can't ship seed between countries at the moment x
