Sunny & Happy with Grounding Neutral Shades

Dye free and beautifully natural the Wildflower range is inspired by the wild and colourful Shropshire countryside on a hot summer's day, combined with the rustic charm of our Shropshire farm.

Originally starting with the extremely popular Wildflower Letterbox Bouquet, we have expanded the range to include a Posy, SheafButtonholes, Wreath and Heart Wreath which are all sold separately. Lovingly handmade in the Shropshire Petals shed especially for your order, making every piece of this arrangement ever so slightly different and unique.

British Grown Dried Flowers

We're are very proud of the fact that all the flowers used to create this Wildflower range are grown on the Shropshire Petals farm. We used our home grown wheat, green nigella orientalis, amethyst delphiniums, yellow craspedia, purple and peach statice. Our flower fields are a thing of beauty in the summer months and are a stunning haven for the local wildlife too, with the bees particulary enjoying our statice.

We've been growing British dried flowers on the Shropshire Petals farm for over 30 years now. Each of our flowers are handpicked by our amazing harvest team when they're at their best and dried onsite to make sure their carbon footprint is as low as possible.

The Perfect Mother's Day Gift

Mother's Day this year falls on Sunday the 27th of March, which is just around the corner.  Gift them flowers that would mean the world to them but are also kind to it too!

These arrangements will add the perfect rustic touch to your mum's home. The handmade Wildflower wreath will make for an amazing decoration for her door at this time of year. It will arrive ready to go, all your mum has to decide is whether she will pop it on her door, wall or hang from a window to show off it's true beauty. If she's a crafty mum she may want to create her own wreath or heart wreath, so why not send her one of  our dried flower kits.

The sheaf will look great positioned on a dinning room table for hosting dinner parties or even just to brighten up a coffee table. Add an extra special personal touch with a Mother's Day card designed by award winning illustrator Louise Mulgrew, we will handwrite your words of love and appreciation.

The brilliant thing for your mum is that these dried flowers don't require as many resources as fresh flowers, and they last for months and even years when stored away from heat, moisture and direct light. Meaning each time she walks past the arrangement she will think of you.

Sustainable Wedding Flowers

It's great to see that sustainability and an eco-concious outlook is even more prevalent when wedding planning these days. With more couples-to-be opting for locally grown food, flowers and serving local wines and beers at their wedding breakfast, meaning less air miles, and less of a carbon footprint on the environment.

There's nothing we love more than a colourful wedding and, what better way to add colour than with vibrant flowers that will last, for months if not years. The Wildflower range is perfect for a Spring or Summer wedding celebration. Our Wildflower Posy is the only accessory that the bridesmaids will need,  it will make a statement paired against a blush pink, pale blue, yellow or even lilac dress. The Wildflower Sheaf is the ideal size for a bride, and the rest of the bridal party can coordinate with our Wildflower buttonholes too. The greats news is the flowers will not whilt, so will look on point in photographs and they will last well beyond the wedding meaning they can be kept as a memento of the day. 

There is also a range of coloured ribbons to choose from which you can add to these bouquets of happiness to give them that extra personal touch.

Whether you are looking for a gift, planning for your wedding or just treating yourself we hope our new Willdflower range has inspired you!

Hopefully just looking at it has added some happiness and cheer to your day.
