Here at Common Farm we are determined to keep our wedding flowers offering both good value in what can be a very expensive market, and as local as can be to our area of south east Somerset.  We try and keep the weddings we supply local enough that most of the flowers are collected from us.  We are not big, luxury wedding florists.  We like to supply affordable flowers to people who are looking forward to arranging some of them themselves.  And so we are happy to help people work out how to grow their flowers, or buy cut mixed buckets from us for their own floristry, and we have all kinds of workshops and demos for people who’d like to learn how to grow, cut, condition, and arrange wedding and event flowers.  

However, we are often asked to recommend flower growers with a similar ethos to ours in different areas of the country. Fortunately we are not the only flower growers who recognise that affordable wedding flowers are in great demand, so we’ve teamed up with twelve colleagues around the country whose work and business ethos we admire and who we’ve invited to join our affordable wedding affiliate scheme. 

Do have a look to see if there’s a flower grower near you who might help you with cut flowers grown on their field for your wedding, event, or just for fun.
