The artistry of British flowers

2025 has been the most exceptional year for Gathered at Dusk. The field has, despite such challenging growing conditions, supplied flowers for countless weddings.

I could be considered biased and perhaps I am but I believe you can’t beat seasonal local flowers for a wedding.

One of my favourite things about only using British is how ‘of the moment’ they are.

Peonies, a flower loved by many, is only in season for about one month a year (the end of May, beginning of June) and that means weddings across that time can use them abundantly. In September a wedding can be full to brim of bright Dahlias and zinnias replicating the fantastic sunsets and sunrises that we get at that time of year. And if you are to be married in winter a wedding full of locally grown eucalyptus and spruce will give the feeling of been immersed in the season and make your venue smell exquisite!

Another beautiful thing about having the season reflected in your wedding flowers is that each year when you celebrate your anniversary you will be reminded of your day by the flowers of the season.

British flowers are a wonderful way to celebrate your wedding and can really help make the day magical. I hope that the following photos give you some flowery inspiration for your day.

What’s in season when?
