If you are planning your wedding and are looking for amazing flowers, I would say look no further than Planet Flowers. We love when our couples have chosen to work with Planet Flowers because you can be guaranteed that their floral art will be dramatic, classy or a little different from the norm.
Planet Flowers are a mother and daughter team who have always had flowers in their lives. Mum Rachel had been involved with flowers from a young age as her father was a keen gardener which progressed to her training in flower shops in Australia. Gemma, her daughter, always went along with her Mum to work and so it seemed like a natural progression to also start working in the flower business. After Gemma left school, she trained in Holland and received a Dutch Masters Diploma in floral art and shortly after began work with her Mum, Rachel.
Planet Flowers has now been trading for just over 12 years. After Rachel gained a wealth of experience managing flower shops over 25 years, she decided to start an Event Floristry business that would specialise in event, wedding and hospitality flowers only. Planet Flowers offers a team of highly trained florists that strive to deliver the highest quality of flowers and design without compromising traditional floristry skills. As Gemma told me “We think outside the box and constantly try to inspire our clients to move on with floral design and try something different. We want each and every wedding to have a different look and feel. Each wedding should be unique to each bride and groom – it is their special day so the flower design should be designed just for them. No matter whether it is designing or executing the design we are passionate about our work and we think this shows through to our clients.”
I wondered what their favourite arrangement or event had been. Gemma said “This is such a hard question! There are so many memorable events for all different reasons! One of the most amazing experiences was designing and executing a wedding at Hotel de Paris, Monaco back in 2008. It was a lifetime experience that we will never forget. More recently we designed the flowers for a wedding at the stunning venue Mansfield Traquair in Edinburgh. It was a truly magnificent wedding – it was such a modern, sleek design. For the last five years we have also supplied the flowers for the Queens Summer Party at Holyrood Palace – which we are very proud about – sadly we have never seen a Corgi in the grounds… maybe this year!”
So what do Planet Flowers foresee for the next few years? They plan on continuing to provide the very best in Event and Corporate floristry. They would also love to continue traveling further afield to experience the rewards of tackling the most challenging work. Check out some of their stunning designs on their blog.
One of our favourite couples from last year (Jen and Derek) chose Planet Flowers to provide gorgeous arrangements on their wedding day.
