  • Join flower farmer and florist Georgie Newbery of Common Farm Flowers as she creates wedding flowers for a boiling hot day in August. Georgie loves colour in wedding flowers, especially at this time of year, and here she talks about why it's a good idea not to be too pale with flowers in the harsh, bleaching, low sun of August. And she doesn't just talk about it, she shows you. With tips for placing material as you work, making material work for you, watching out for a dangerous heat/buttonhole combo, Georgie makes the bride, bridesmaids and buttonholes for anotherwise DIY wedding for which she also supplied masses of mixed buckets (see previous clip for details of those in her August tour of the garden.) With dahlias and roses and masses of other great material all grown on her flower farm between Bruton and Wincanton in Somerset, this is a fun clip full of tips and tricks. And a big thank you to Tracy from Vancouver Island! Cheers Tracy! xxx

    This video couldn't have been more timely as I was putting together a bridal bouquet and 10 table posies yesterday. I was struggling with trying to use pastels and you gave me the confidence to use my beautiful bright dahlias. You were so right about the lighting!! Everyone loved the bright August bouquet. Thanks so much Georgie! 💛
    P.s. I ordered your wedding flowers book and am impatiently waiting for its arrival.

    Well you have been able to keep such a beautiful display and choice of flower in your gardens even during your very hot summer....how will you manage if you get a watering ban.....? (your dog reminds me of my old girl we lost last year....) how is your mom doing ? With her bad ankle....
