Meet the Florists Shaping the New Bridal Look
Whether you're hosting a micro-wedding in East London or saying ‘I do’ at a Cotswolds manor, these floral artists are changing the bridal bouquet game—one sculpted stem at a time.
STUDIO TUSSY
Studio Tussy
Effortlessly cool and relentlessly creative, Studio Tussy specialises in tactile, architectural arrangements. Think dramatic anthuriums, spindly branches, and colour-saturated blooms with attitude. Based in London, founder Emily Tussy draws on a background in sculpture—expect unexpected forms, fashion-editorial vibes, and installations that feel more Comme des Garçons than country garden.
Bridal Vibe: Modern minimalist with a twist. Perfect for the bride who wants something directional but still romantic.
BOOM BLOOMS
Boom Blooms
Known for punchy palettes and offbeat pairings, Boom Blooms brings joyful maximalism to modern weddings. Their arrangements are fresh, playful, and often feature unusual shapes and tones—neon florals, citrusy notes, and sculptural silhouettes. Think 'floristry, but make it fun.'
Bridal Vibe: Cool girl colour pop. Ideal for a city wedding or creative venue.
SAGE FLOWERS
Sage Flowers
East London-based Sage Flowers is a cult favourite for a reason. With a client list that spans fashion, art, and design, their wedding work is full of edge and intention. Their aesthetic is bold yet refined—unexpected stems, asymmetric structures, and a fearless use of colour and texture. Sage is also committed to sustainability and inclusive storytelling, making them a go-to for modern couples who care about values as much as visuals.
Bridal Vibe: Art-school bride meets high-fashion cool. Think directional florals that wouldn’t look out of place in a Loewe campaign.
FINE STEMS
Fine Stems
A true rising star in the UK floral scene, Fine Stems brings quiet luxury and curated detail to every bouquet. With a background in design and art direction, founder Emily Hill crafts arrangements that feel elevated yet effortless—soft palettes, unique textural pairings, and an editorial eye for placement. Each bouquet feels like it belongs on the pages of a fashion magazine rather than pinned to a Pinterest board.
Bridal Vibe: Understated elegance with a modern point of view. Perfect for minimalist brides who love sculptural dresses, neutral tones, and fine details.
How to Work With a Florist (Without Losing Your Mind)
Working with a florist should be like collaborating with your dream stylist. Here’s how to make the process seamless—and ensure your bouquet looks as good in your hand as it does on Instagram.
1. Moodboard Like a Fashion Editor
Start with references—not just florals, but fashion, interiors, art. Florists love seeing your wider vision. A colour story, a few key textures, or even a photo of your dress can help them build something truly bespoke.
2. Know Your Budget (and Be Honest About It)
Florists are creatives, not magicians. Sharing your budget from the outset allows them to design within realistic constraints—and avoid awkward pivots later on.
3. Trust Their Vision
You chose them for a reason. Once you’ve shared your aesthetic, give them the freedom to source the best seasonal stems and follow the natural rhythm of the market.
4. Think Beyond the Bouquet
Consider floral moments throughout your day: welcome arrangements, hanging installations, tablescapes. Even a single well-placed stem can elevate a setting.
5. Sustainability Matters
Ask your florist about foam-free techniques, local blooms, and composting practices. The best modern florists are already ahead of the game.
The Final Thoughts
Wedding flowers are no longer just about roses and peonies. For the fashion-conscious UK bride, they’re a chance to express your style, story, and sense of self. Whether you’re drawn to Studio Tussy’s sculptural minimalism or the soft, editorial elegance of Fine Stems, this new floral wave is all about intention and individuality.
At P.S. Bridal, we believe every detail should feel like you—even your bouquet.
