Wedding flowers prep – top tips for harvesting wedding flowers in the rain

Life must go on, so while we mourn the death of that extraordinary woman Queen Elizabeth II, weddings already postponed through pandemic years must go ahead. So here is the prep for a gorgeous late summer wedding full of dahlias and hot colour and apples and amaranth. If I get the prep right the creation of the floral arrangements will go smoothly and relatively quickly. Let’s see how I do despite frequent bouts of lashing rain.

If you enjoy the tips and tricks Georgie gives you here, or would simply like to support the channel, the link to her Buy Me a Coffee page is Here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/COMMONFARM

We have all kinds of wedding and floristry prep workshops listed on the website – have a look and book yourself the sessions which appeal to you.

We have a number of workshops that have a particular focus on the preparation and arrangement of wedding flowers, both online and here at the farm. Our 2023 dates are now live and you can see them here:
