Melanie Searby

Melanie Searby Flower Design creates wedding flowers from a studio near Lechlade in Oxfordshire. The business describes its work as interpreting the essence of the English garden, using seasonal and sometimes home-grown flowers wherever possible.

Melanie specialises in natural, flowing shapes, sometimes with the flowers you would expect to find in an English country garden and sometimes more formal or dramatic designs when the occasion calls for it. The aim is a loose, free style where the flowers and foliage have space to tell their own story. Where seasonal flowers are not available, only good quality imported stems are used.

The portfolio covers bridal and bridesmaid bouquets, buttonholes, flower circlets, top table and centrepiece arrangements, church and pew end flowers, and keepsake bouquet framing.
