From the beginning, my journey with each and every bride is a personal, friendly one where I aim to learn as much as possible about her wedding and to involve her, as much as she would like, in her flower and style choices.
My ethos is to help and encourage each bride to envisage her perfect floral designs and to ensure that I  create unique pieces, specific to her wishes.
Once they have decided to appoint me as their wedding florist, couples will receive as much attention as they wish.  I am happy to advise where I can, recommending  artisans and small businesses who can provide their  unique, bespoke, services, products, creations, etc to tailor the day.
I have created wedding designs in many different styles from seaside to woodland themed, structured or wild,  traditional or quirky and timelessly classic - please have a browse through my wedding floral album below.
Flowers are one of the key elements in a wedding - their beauty captured forever by the wedding photographer to enjoy for your happy ever after.

2021 WEDDINGS​

"Well, what can we say, it was a pretty bumpy journey in the beginning, but nothing to do with Deb, Covid19 struck.
We met Deb in 2019 when we initially booked our wedding for July 2020.
The flowers were everything to us and I had a very strong idea of what I wanted. Deb’s critique, something plain and simple, with a wow factor and boy did she deliver this.
We spent a long time going through what we wanted and I was very specific that I wanted nothing other than White and Crystal.
Having our wedding cancelled 3 times, eventually taking place in October 2021, Deb spent a lot of time with me, mulling over ideas and suggestions. She even tried to persuade me to change the flowers slightly, as Covid had seen costs increase considerably, but we stuck to our original plan and we were so pleased that we did.
On the day Deb was amazing, she delivered above and beyond, with a stunning top table arrangement, 3 different arrangements all in glass for the tables, fantastic button holes and corsages, together with a beautiful crown and basket for my flower girl, but she certainly saved the best until last………………….. my bouquet was absolutely stunning, it certainly was plain, simple classy and delivered the wow factor.
We cannot thank Deb enough for everything she did to make our flowers and day extra special and not only did I find a florist, I also gained a friend.
I am pleased to say that my bouquet will be returning soon as my best friend is having some of the flowers put into a glass paper weight so I will be able to look at it every day and smile."
Lou & Wayne - October 2021
"A fabulous and fun wedding day and some huge 'thank yous' to lots of lovely,  happy people who helped us with our amazing day ..."
Sally & Paul - September
"I just wanted to drop you a quick message to say a big thank you for our wedding flowers, they were all gorgeous!"
​Anna & Dan - August 2021
"Thank you for the fabulous flowers"
Hannah & Marcus - August 2021
"I found Debbie from the Bark app and I'm so glad I used her.
Debbie really listened to all my needs and wants as a bride and delivered the most beautiful bouquets. We had meetings both in person and over the telephone, she so very friendly and helpful on every level.
One thing that really stands out in my mind and impressed me on the morning of my wedding was that just a conversation over the telephone discussing what I had in mind for my centre pieces Debbie brought that forward and included them within my bridal bouquet. I just mentioned that on the table centre pieces I'm going to be having succulents and there there were succulents within my bouquet that I could also replant at home after as a keepsake! It really is the smallest things that make the whole difference.
Debbie really is an amazing florist and I would recommend her to anybody!
Thank you so much Debbie, I'm glad you were a part of our day xx"
Megan & Andy - September 2021
"Our day was just perfect, just like my flowers thank you ❤️"
Trish and Chris - July 2021
"Your creations for our wedding were beautiful, we absolutely loved them. I only gave you a few snippets of what I wanted and you interpreted that information perfectly.
Thank you so much! Will recommend you for any friends and family in the future."
Becky & David - July 2021
"The flowers were AMAZING. As you know, I didn’t really know what I wanted but what you created was exactly
what I wanted all along, without me even realising. Everyone loved them, and we could not be happier - thank you so much Deb!! 🥰"
Naomi & Nick - June 2021
"Just wanted to say a huge thank you - our flowers were absolutely perfect and our family loved the hat boxes too.  I must say, our flowers went absolutely perfectly with the venue! I’ve still got a couple of roses in our vase which have lasted amazingly. 
​We had a very special email yesterday - our photos arrived! We absolutely love them and the flowers look beautiful!"
Polly and Jake - June 2021​
IN MAY, THE BEAUTIFUL, BUBBLY AND OH-SO-SMILEY LAUREN MARRIED.  LAUREN HAS KINDLY MODELLED A GREAT MANY OF MY FLOWER CROWNS OVER THE YEARS AND I HAVE GOT TO KNOW HER AND HER LOVELY FAMILY.   SHE WANTED TO GATHER WILD  & CULTIVATED FLOWERS WITH HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS FROM A LOCAL FLOWER FIELD TO CREATE THEIR OWN WEDDING BOUQUETS AND VENUE FLORALS WHICH WERE BEAUTIFUL.  SHE ASKED ME IF I WOULD CREATE  A WHOPPER OF A CROWN FOR HER WEDDING CEREMONY  AND SOME DIDDY TO GROWN UP CROWNS FOR HER MAIDS WITH AN EXTRA ONE FOR HERSELF TO WEAR AFTER THE CEREMONY.    HOW COULD I SAY NO!
WATCH THIS SPACE .......
"The flowers that Debbie made for us were absolutely beautiful and everyone commented on them. Debbie took a lot of time discussing my ideas with me and making suggestions and came up with some bouquets that were absolutely beautiful and still within budget. She also gave me some helpful ideas about the rest of the wedding that were really useful. I really enjoyed carrying my bouquet on the day and took it on my honeymoon so that I could enjoy it as long as possible!"
Heather & Richard - May 2021
​"I can’t thank Deb enough! She created me the most stunning wedding bouquet & button holes- everyone commented on how lovely the bouquet was! I didn’t have a clue where to start with what flowers to choose but Deb did an amazing job & created something I loved & more! So thank you once again."
Stacey & Keiran - April 2021

The last wedding of my first five years was my own daughter's.

In 2020, Ellie married Howard during a global pandemic and in between lockdowns.  Five years' experience of creating wedding florals under my belt - was I really ready to create theirs?  Ellie chose every flower and design and, truthfully, was a joy to work with.  My nerves were tangible and I failed to see the beauty in most of what I had created until I saw the photos of them.  Ellie & Howard's wedding was the funniest, the loveliest and the happiest day of 2020 - for me, seeing my daughter with an ombre'd wedding dress (thanks to the weather) and the biggest grin on her face which lasted the WHOLE day through and both of them so relaxed and happy throughout was an absolute joy.  Congratulations my little girl - you chose well and I wish you both love everlasting.

The first five years ... 2016 to 2020

Polly and Ross were my first wedding couple.  Polly wanted a moveable meadow for her wedding flowers and so they went from Kennaway House where the marriage ceremony took place to The Clock Tower for their wedding breakfast and onward to a campsite in Salcombe where kids and grown-ups alike celebrated until the wee hours.

​Rosie was inspired by classic wedding flowers, opting for baby blue and pink hydrangeas as the principal flowers for her bouquet without foliage.  Some blue-green foliage was added to her daughter's flower crown and my signature PomPom designs for the register table.

Sarah travelled from South Africa to marry at Kennaway House in an intimate ceremony there - her choice of flowers included fluffy white peonies, delicate pink astilbes and her "must have" - blue irises.

Zoe wanted a vintage style bouquet which included her favourite calla lilies.  She selected waterfall pocket designs for her groom and his best man which looked fab against their Cadbury's purple pocketchiefs.

Sally loved the sea - she selected her venue so that she would be next to it and hoped to swim in it on her wedding morning.  Not a lover of traditional wedding flowers, Sally and I worked on a palette of sea colours  to include sunshine and a smattering of seashell, starfish and driftwood.

​​Jenny and Craig, with their two lovely daughters, enjoyed a sunny wedding at The Sidmouth Harbour Hotel - with bouquets and buttonholes including elderflowers among the blush roses and white peonies adding a delicious scent.

Kaz and Dan were married at Larkbeare House and celebrated their wedding at the Mercure Rougement Hotel in Exeter.  Kaz's choice of burgundy flowers worked so well in her freestyle bouquet with exquisite orchid accents.

​Sam and Martin chose Sidmouth Harbour Hotel for their wedding day and the photos prove it was joyous one.  Delicate hues were selected to complement Sam's gorgeous dress which had a blush under layer.  A floral layer with added pale lilac was chosen for the rich chocolate wedding cake and placed on top of a rustic tree slice.

Hayley and Mark also enjoyed a sunny day during their wedding at The Sidmouth Harbour Hotel.  Hayley's nautically themed wedding reception was the "bee's knees".

Gemma and James celebrated their wedding day at The Sidmouth Harbour Hotel..  Cornflowers were to take precedence at her wedding and did so - from the beautiful hand made wooden cornflowers for table favours to those amongst the daisies and roses in her bouquet..
Rhian and Allen enjoyed deep blue skies at Renewal of Vows ceremony at Sidmouth Harbour Hotel in March.  A trio of floral hatboxes containing David Austin roses for their incredibly appearance and scent decorated the reception tables which also contained homegrown succulent plants that could later be put in pots and enjoyed for years to come.

Rachel & Will had a July wedding at Ottery St Mary Church and their reception was held at the Sidmouth Harbour Hotel.  Rachel's love of sunflowers permeated her wedding designs - her garland wending it's way from Church to Hotel and back home for  veranda decor the following day.

Lucy and Adam celebrated their marriage at Sidmouth Harbour on a breezy Saturday in September.  Lucy was a joy to work with - so open to ideas and over the moon when we were able to use her two favourites in her wedding florals - white thistles and "blushing bride".  She too opted to have some succulents as a keepsake of her bouquet and lots of bluey-green foliage.

In October, Emma & Ben celebrated their wedding day in Sidmouth with moody weather creating a fabulous backdrop for some spectacular photographs.  A beautiful palette of colours and graceful silk ribbons created a stunning matching flower crown and bouquet for Emma.

2020 saw weddings postponed and cancelled but there were a few little windows of opportunity for a handful of brides.  The first was the wedding between Sue and Glenn from London - such a fabulous choice of  bright citrussy colour

Having not been able to meet them beforehand, it was a joy to see these photos of Susan & Peter's wedding as they capture such a happy day of a close and loving  family.  Lovely flower choices in pinks and creams.

Beverley & Tony married at the Sidmouth Harbour Hotel - their original wedding plans having been scuppered by Covid.  It was a joyous day - with their beloved pooch playing a pivotal role.  The last photo on this slide show depicts the newlyweds & Lenny on the beach 6 months into their marriage.
