How Sunday Blooms Started
We met doing a floristry course in 2017. Both of us had come from completely different careers (graphic design and teaching) and both of us had the same frustration with how wedding flowers typically looked: too stiff, too uniform, too far removed from how flowers actually grow.
We started Sunday Blooms in 2019 out of a shared studio space in Hackney Wick. The idea was simple: work seasonally, use British-grown flowers where we can, and make arrangements that look like someone gathered them from an extremely good garden.
Our Approach
We don't do set designs or packages from a catalogue. Every wedding gets its own colour palette and flower list based on what's growing at the time. A June wedding will have peonies and garden roses. A November wedding will have chrysanthemums, berries, and textured foliage. Both are beautiful. Neither is trying to be the other.
We buy from British growers first. Our main supplier is a flower farm in Kent, supplemented by a couple of growers in Sussex and Essex. For certain stems (olive branches, certain roses, ranunculus out of season) we use the Dutch market, but always as a complement to local stock, not a replacement.
The Studio
We work from a railway arch studio in Hackney Wick. It's cold in winter, too hot in summer, and permanently smells like eucalyptus and sweet peas. We share the arch with a ceramicist who makes our vases when we need custom pieces, which is quite handy.
The studio has a big prep space for wedding builds (usually the Thursday and Friday before a Saturday wedding), cold storage for conditioning flowers, and a small meeting area where we do consultations.
Working with Us
The process starts with an enquiry. Tell us your date, your venue, and roughly what you're after. If we're available, we'll arrange a consultation (at the studio or over video call, your choice) where we talk through everything properly.
After that, we send a detailed proposal with a mood board, flower suggestions based on the season, and pricing. Once you're happy, we take a 30% deposit to secure the date, and the balance is due four weeks before the wedding.
We handle all delivery and setup on the day. You don't need to think about logistics.
"From the first meeting to the day itself, they made it so easy. No stress, no fuss, just gorgeous flowers that looked exactly right in the space."
