Hyde Flower Company, nestled near Fordingbridge, Hampshire, presents an enticing opportunity for brides-to-be seeking a personalized touch for their weddings. Bridging the gap between do-it-yourself creativity and professional guidance, the farm now hosts DIY Wedding Flower Workshops alongside its renowned pick-your-own flower sessions.
Throughout the summer months, Hyde Flower Company is orchestrating a series of DIY Wedding Flower Workshops tailored to inspire and educate brides on crafting impeccable arrangements for their special day. Encompassing bridal bouquets, buttonholes, and table adornments, each workshop furnishes participants with all necessary equipment and freshly harvested blooms.
Under the guidance of Fordingbridge florist Sally Valentine, these workshops promise an intimate and enriching experience. “It’s all about infusing that personal touch,” Valentine asserts. “One doesn’t necessarily need to possess extraordinary creativity. Once you grasp the fundamental techniques, the canvas is yours to paint with colors, delicate florals, or bold statement blooms, echoing your individuality and taste.”
The allure of these workshops extends beyond mere instruction; situated directly on the flower farm, participants are afforded a vast selection of blossoms for both practice sessions and sourcing flowers for the actual wedding day, fostering a truly local and authentic floral experience.
For brides seeking additional support, Sally Valentine extends her expertise at an hourly rate, offering a cost-effective solution for those in need of professional assistance.
In tandem with these workshops, Hyde Flower Company presents bookable Pick Your Own (PYO) Flowers sessions, allowing enthusiasts to traverse the flower fields, handpicking their desired blooms amidst a symphony of colors and fragrances.
Owner Caroline Howells shares her anticipation for the forthcoming season, remarking, “After a seemingly interminable winter, witnessing the garden burst into bloom is truly exhilarating. From the vivacious spring tulips to the delicate petals of summer cosmos and the vibrant array of dahlias, each season brings its own charm. I am particularly excited about introducing new varieties this year, eager to incorporate them into our bouquets alongside our cherished favorites.”
To delve deeper into the enchanting world of Hyde Flower Company, prospective visitors are invited to partake in a farm tour and pick-your-own bouquet event scheduled for Saturday, May 18th. For further details and bookings, interested parties are encouraged to reach out directly.
