THE WILDE BUNCH - BRINGING THE OUTSIDE IN!

We're so pleased to have Claire Nicholson with us again at the Wedding Fair.  Claire is the creative brains behind the brand and has been a florist for 25 years, training and working with the Royal Horticultural Society and International florists in London and Holland.  

At the cutting edge of floral design in the South West, The Wilde Bunch specialise in wedding flowers and large scale events from The Cotswolds through to Devon and Dorset.

I've always loved Claire's unique style - there really is a wildness to her designs which also gives them a fabulously vintage feel.  She can do anything from the grand to the intimate, from bridal bouquets, boutonnieres, banqueting halls to barns and floral crowns.

Claire's knowledge of flowers is encyclopaedic and she can also tell you exactly what the flowers you choose mean - she tells me daisies express purity, loyalty and patience, and pure white rose buds mean everlasting love - a love stronger than death. So if you want your flowers to have meaning behind them she can help you there too.  She works on wedding and events all year round and her website shows floral designs from winter through to spring.

Claire works from a barn, where you can find her, with her dog Boots (featured on many a photo shoot!) and uses amazing props like aged wooden crates and milk churns and really is one of the most imaginative and hardworking florists in the business.  I love her constant enthusiasm, endless creativity and the energy she puts into new designs.  

Take a look at Claire's website and blog to see examples of her work ... oh and you might notice that her latest blog post features Kerry Katona's wedding flowers!  How exciting!

Claire's motto is 'Bring the Outside In' and that's exactly what she does - so if you're looking to add a touch of the refreshingly wild to your wedding flowers then have a chat with Claire on the day.  You won't be disappointed.

Ivory Flowers

Bristol based florist, Ivory Flowers, are the creators behind these beautiful floral designs.

Owner Xanthe Ivory studied floristry at the respected Bicton College in Devon and has been a professional florist for 5 years. Her passion for flowers and organic design dates from a childhood spent in the countryside. 

Ivory Flowers source locally grown flowers whenever possible. They offer local deliveries within Bristol City Centre and surrounding areas, but you can find them most often at Bristol’s own Tobacco Factory in the Cafe/Bar entrance on Raleigh Road, Southville – they’re the only florist in the Southville area with premises open 7 days a week

Ivory Flowers strive to make your wedding completely unique to you, with their fully bespoke flower displays and bouquets - no two weddings are ever the same. Their seasonal bouquets can range from full and wild, to tight posies, and everything in between.  All of their boutonnières, corsages and headdresses are truly individual and styled to suit each bridal party perfectly. “Working with brides to create beautiful bouquets and arrangements is absolutely one of my favourite parts of my job." -Xanthe Ivory

This year is going to be all about the scented country vintage garden style – think sweet peas, green iris, lily of the valley and dahlias. Hair flowers are going to be big in 2013 too; lots of brides have booked to have them already and we’re only in February! In fact, flower accessories of all kinds will be big – think flowers on shoes and bags, to name but a few.

Pop down to the Tobacco Factory, call Ivory Flowers direct on 07971 165 021 or email ivoryflowersuk@gmail.com - you can even find them on Facebook. No budget is too big or small for Ivory Flowers – Xanthe will make your wedding flowers work for you!

The Wilde Bunch

If you’re after something different, something organic, something vintage for your wedding, then you want The Wilde Bunch.  Working with the seasons and inspired by wild flora and natural fauna, everything they produce is locally sourced or Fairtrade. 

Owner Claire Nicholson has worked in floral & event design for the last 25 years. She trained with the Royal Horticultural Society as well as with international florists in Holland and the UK.  Based in a design studio (a very cool barn in Abbotts Leigh bursting with vintage chic), The Wilde Bunch are totally mobile across Bristol, Somerset, Wiltshire, Dorset & Gloucestershire.  Not being shop-based allows them to offer you an entirely exclusive personal design service at very competitive prices.

The Wilde Bunch have transformed wedding venues from castles to barns and however grand or intimate your big day, they promise a unique tailor-made service with stunning flora and all without that 'exclusive' price tag.

This year has seen them move into styling and dressing venues too.  It’s all part of producing the perfect vintage design to suit the wedding couple. 

This year has seen them style teepees with pewter and metalware, stoneware and wood, all of which is fast replacing birdcages and teacups as people’s ideas about vintage grow. It’s all about the opulence; think green, think succulents, passionflowers and hand painted decorations. It’s also about the dramatic; think old iron candelabras and candles catching the light. The WildeBunch will take you beyond the vintage tea party to a decadent, beautifully dressed Downton Abbey dinner party look.

You’ll be able to see Claire’s fantastic creations at our Fair this year.  She’ll create the featured display you first see as you walk in and the handheld bouquets you’ll see the models carrying will all be her design.  She’ll have a table of gorgeous props and even more gorgeous greens for you but until then, check out her website or Facebook page and see some more of her wonderful designs.
