We spoke to Sam from Fantails Designer Florist, who was responsible for the beautiful blooms in the shoot, about how it all came together.

WE WANTED TO CAPTURE THE END OF WINTER AND BEGINNING OF SPRING, TO CREATE A FRESH AND CRISP STYLE WITH CLASSIC TOUCHES TO COMPLIMENT THIS INCREDIBLE VENUE.

SAM, THE FLORIST

Heavenly Hooton

"Hooton Pagnell Hall is filled with wonderfully friendly people and beautiful grounds in which to celebrate a marriage. It has its own orchard and a truly natural but sophisticated feel throughout the buildings. There is so much history too – it has been in the Warde-Norbury family for over 320 years and gracefully passed through the generations. During the First World War the house was offered to the British Government to be used as a hospital."

BEING ECO-FRIENDLY WAS THE TOP OF FANTAIL’S MINDS FOR THIS NATURAL SHOOT AS WITH THE APPROACH FOR ALL WEDDINGS. 

SAM, THE FLORIST

"The incorporation of moss to be used not only as a filler, but as a major feature is something that we are known for, and the results are beautiful. We love creating dainty posies packed with seasonal details, like the one we designed here."

Sunlit Snaps

"Mark Crayden photographed the shoot taking advantage of the warm sunlight that was given to us on the day of the shoot. I still can’t believe how kind the weather was for us. Charlotte Wilcox created iced shortbread favours and the most beautifully intricate white iced cake with handmade sugar flowers.

The White Yard supplied us with two fitted dresses designed by Modeca for our real life bride to wear while our groom looking dapper in a deep blue suit supplied by Tweed & Groom. We were also really lucky to have two cars supplied by Candeo Weddings – one of which we spilled an enchantment of Spring out of!"

Why We’re a Fan of Fantails

Their approach to floristry has always been a natural one, but now they’re able to supply brides and grooms a mix of British flowers from their own cut garden in Sheffield, which is not only exciting, but a real bonus for couples knowing they’re supporting a local Yorkshire business and being kind to the environment at the same time.
