Wedding flower consultations – How they work!

The basics: I thought it would be useful to write out a little outline of how the wedding flower consultation and booking process goes when working with me. I do both full service and DIY weddings, as well as hybrid (a mixture of designed +

In springtime, love is in the air at Valley View Farm!
