Firstly, Tell Us About Yourself

I am the Creative Director at Emily&Me. I’m also a mum of three girls and have a passion for flowers and fashion.
I don’t get much spare time as I’m always thinking about our next wedding but when I do, I spend my time immersed in the Countryside at home and abroad.
I’m a true romantic and loose myself in beautiful sunsets and cloudless skies.

Tell Us About Emily&Me

I started Emily&Me as a hobby. It’s named after my youngest daughter who was very sick at the time.
Growth was organic as each bride or their family went on to recommend us to the next.
My creativity is central to my whole life. Every wedding is a gift and I throw my heart and soul into each one. It’s a truly joyful business

When did you start Emily&Me, how and why?

I started in 2014 at my kitchen table. A friend pushed me to enter the Kent Wedding Awards and we won!! From the kitchen we soon spread through every room until we had a workshop built in 2015.

What Products or Services do you offer?

Every single aspect of floristry. From perfect buttonholes to huge installations.
Free consultations and prop hire.
Bouquet and flower preservation.

Tell us about your Products or Services

We try to buy as much as possible from English growers and place our orders directly with the fields. Not using a middleman means our flowers are fresher and last longer. They are also the best quality available.
We are also trying to move away from floral foam and looking towards becoming more eco friendly.
Another way we help the environment is through preservation and composting our cuttings.

What is your favourite?

Personally I love the big builds. So huge billowing arches or jaw dropping chandeliers and overflowing fireplaces.
I also love the preservation.

What is your most popular?

Emily&Me are known for our diversity. We have never pigeonholed ourselves into any particular aesthetic. Our motto is that our style is whatever our wedding couple desires. Having a brilliant team with backgrounds across the industry gives us creative freedom. We often recreate florals that our bride has seen on Pinterest or in a magazine.
Our most popular item at the moment is our Moonarch. We have dozens of different styles to suit every kind of wedding.

Testimonial For Emily&Me

We booked Emily&Me for our wedding flowers and are so happy we did! Sam was a pleasure to communicate with and gave lots of helpful advice on how we could make the most of our budget. The flowers were a stunning mix of spring colours and flowers. Jennifer was really lovely and helpful on the morning. The flowers looked gorgeous all day and in our photos. We received so many compliments on them. Thank you so much! Mary x
