More and More the idea of green, natural and organic wedding concepts are becoming a real wedding focal point. What could be better than having your wedding flowers for years to come, each time you water them your taken back to that epic day – Keeping the memory of your day really living on. If you’re a green-fingered bride the idea of home-grown and self-propagated plants may fill you with joy; from sedums, succulents, spider and plants inside to mixed planters and lavender bushes grown outdoors.

Here’s a few ideas to transform your wedding venue with living plants and blooms.

MILK CHURN MAYHEM.

Since our new full size Milk Churns arrived at Little Lending HQ we’ve been getting a bit pin happy with anything Milk Churn related. So we’ve put together a few of our favourite ways to fill them for your day. We say the more wild, home-grown and unruly the better. The one filled with cow parsely picked from the roadside that morning has to be the ultimate in rustic & loose foliage for setting your wedding off with a true relaxed vibe from the first moment your guests arrive. What do you think…

Why stop with Churns…We have metal buckets, pales and jugs if you are really looking to ‘Milk it’.

SPRING GARDEN BLOOM SHOOT.

We just love to collaborate with like minded companies and after meeting the fantastic Julie at Buds in Bloom, I just knew we’d hit it off both personally and creatively through our work together.

We wanted to celebrate the start of spring (and the end of a very long winter) taking to the garden where the daffodils were just starting to show. Through loose and pretty floral mixes in vibrant colours they sat perfectly paired back with some of our new hire items that had been stored away all winter.

Hanging vintage glass bottles or bunting in trees makes for a great backdrop for guests photos or the perfect entrance with some DIY hanging signage too. Its also the debut of our milk churns which really pack some punch full of Julie’s floral decor.

It really is a wonderful, colourful time…
