Wedding Florists
For many couples, the florists they choose for their special day can help to transform the plainest and most uninspiring of locations. Working with local florists allows you, not only to support the local economy but to find seasonal flowers and unique arrangements. Here are our suggested florists from the South West.

Having an experienced event organiser at your side can make the entire process significantly easier. With their wealth of knowledge, you’ll make sure every box has been ticked and nothing is left to those panic-stricken hours before the event starts. Here are our suggestions for the best in the South West.
1.The Natural Vibe Co.
https://www.thenaturalvibeco.co.uk/
I work with couples, individuals, and families to design, plan, and coordinate everything for their special day, down to the very last
piece of paper confetti. If you’re dreaming of an event that takes inspiration from the natural vibe (see what I did there?) of the earth,
you’re on the right website. I believe less is more; you don’t have to throw loads of money at something for it to be beautiful. And a
“less is more” attitude is an attitude that’s kinder to the planet. We become so much more than a great team, we become friends,
creating memories together before, during and even after the dust of your special day settles.
2.POPPY SIENNA
https://www.poppysiennaevents.co.uk
You want your wedding to be stylish and luxurious, timeless and elegant, sophisticated but in no way cliché.
You want an unforgettable experience that is uniquely and truly yours, a Perfect memory you will cherish for a lifetime.
YOU want your luxury wedding planner to be the person you can trust to ensure your event is all of this and so much more, exceeding all your expectations, MORE than anything you could have EVER imagined.
Wedding Photographers
Capturing those moments on your special day, wedding photographers have a special role to play. They are there to make sure nothing gets forgotten and you can capture a snippet of these precious moments forever. Here is our roundup of our best wedding photographers in the South West.
1.Martin Dabek
Whether you’ve chosen a rustic barn celebration, castle wedding, fusion wedding, indoor or outdoor ceremony, humanist blessing to
a full church service, hundreds of guests or an intimate elopement, at home or away I would love to be there and capture your story
2.Bristol Drones
https://www.bristol-drones.co.uk/
In everybody’s life there are moments that need to be captured on film. Birthdays, weddings, bat or bar mitzwa’s, a lifetime
achievement or a special event. Capturing aerial photos will add to these precious memories and give it another view.
Aerial photography can reveal spectacular views and give you a much more powerful sense of scale. We want to be there with you to
capture that moment in time & that it becomes a treasured memory.
3.JOSHUA PENROSE
https://www.joshuapenrosephotography.com/
I was born and raised in a small village in Cornwall. With a strong passion for exploring, I spent a couple of years traveling Asia and
Australia, before returning to Bristol to live. The cities quirky vibe, made me realize my love for photography even more and has
pushed me into the direction of wedding photography.
My idea of a wedding photographer is someone who puts you at ease from the minute your big day arrives. Delivering bespoke
images of you and your loved ones that will last you a lifetime.
4.JACOB BOODRIE
I love capturing the true feeling of your day in beautiful, candid images. I take a journalistic approach to wedding photography and
make sure the entire process is tailored to what’s important to you—from our initial meeting, to the big day itself, through to
delivering your final photographs.
I’m passionate about creating authentic images of the highest quality—photographs that will be treasured and enjoyed by future
generations. If that sounds like your jam, let’s talk!
5.FIONA WALSH
Here in Devon and Somerset, I adore being a wedding photographer of weddings which are down to earth, natural, relaxed, with a
heap of fun. With less pressure on it being a perfect day, and more focus on going with the flow and having a massive laugh. We can
grab some incredible images across the land, like in these shots below, and I find documenting such an intimate and very special
moment is very personal to me. Weddings are essentially about two people coming together to unite in marriage, and I especially
think elopements are beautiful because of that. I’m very passionate about seeing people happy, and so I find photographing a
wedding in such a set up to be very meaningful.
