Wondering why wedding flowers cost more than other event flowers? I explain the time, care, and personalisation behind small, seasonal wedding flowers in Wiltshire, Somerset, and Bath.

An honest guide to wedding flower costs in Wiltshire, Somerset and Bath, focused on small weddings, seasonal flowers, and realistic budgets — from DIY flower buckets to bespoke personal flowers.

Summer weddings in Bradford-on-Avon and nearby Wiltshire towns are the perfect chance to celebrate with flowers at their brightest and most cheerful. The blooms from my flower plot in July and August have a brighter colour palette of apricots, pinks, and purples, often creating a wildflower, meadowy vibe with delicate, daisy-like blooms.

Autumn weddings in Bradford-on-Avon and nearby Wiltshire towns are a chance to embrace rich, deep tones and show-stopping blooms. Flowers from my plot in September and October include dahlias and heirloom chrysanthemums, paired with softer shades like buff, and occasional ornamental grasses for texture.

Planning a May or June wedding in Bradford-on-Avon or nearby Wiltshire towns? There’s something truly special about using local, seasonal wedding flowers. The blooms from my flower plot are harvested at their peak in late spring, ensuring your bouquets and arrangements are fresh, fragrant, and full of natural beauty.

Planning your wedding flowers should feel inspiring, joyful, and simple — not overwhelming. If you're getting married in Bradford on Avon, Bath, or anywhere across Wiltshire, and you’re dreaming of locally grown, seasonal, and sustainable wedding flowers, you’re in exactly the right place.

Yes, you read that right—Frostmas, not Christmas! There’s something magical about the farm when the frost arrives.

When my growing season wraps up and the beds start to empty, one of the most important jobs I do is sowing cover crops. They aren’t glamorous - no one picks up a bouquet and says, “Wow, these stems are thanks to your excellent winter soil management!”

When I sold my final bouquet of the season in early October, you’d think everything would suddenly go quiet. The last flowers cut, the buckets cleaned, the stand packed away. A neat little “The End” moment.

As much as I love flower season, now that it’s winding down, I’ve been reflecting on what I miss and what I’m glad to leave behind until next year.

It’s hard to believe another flower season has come and gone. My year of growing kicked off in mid-March and ran right through until the start of October - and what a whirlwind it was! Looking back, I feel such a mix of pride, exhaustion, and huge gratitude.

This year at Cicely Flowers, my little flower stand in Bradford on Avon has been such a joy — a place to meet you, share seasonal blooms, and see smiles as people pick up flowers for their homes, gifts, or special occasions.

There’s something about October flowers that feels magical — rich, warm, and full of life, even as the days grow shorter. This time of year, the flower plot at Cicely Flowers bursts with deep autumn tones: golden sunflowers, fiery dahlias, soft chrysanthemums, and airy cosmos, all swaying together in the autumn light.
