DEVON WEDDING FLORIST
Hi, I’m Ellie, the owner of The Byes Blooms, Devon. Rooted between the hedgerows and the sea I work alongside nature in my Sidmouth cutting garden to grow your wedding flowers especially for you. If you love your flowers romantic, natural and a touch wild you are in the right place. A little bit hedgerow, a little bit cultivated, the best parts of a rambling English country garden brought indoors and arranged as though they have grown into place. I’m here for couples who value happy bees as much as me and want your flowers to reflect the beautiful South West landscape in which you’ve chosen to celebrate your love.

ROOTED IN PLACE & TIME
Imagine looking out of the window, seeing the first leaves turning golden and instantly being transported back to your October wedding day. Or catching the delicate scent of a sweet pea in the garden and all the memories of how you felt holding your bouquet and walking down the aisle come rushing back. When you choose locally grown seasonal flowers it means your wedding flowers could only ever have been made for you, on your particular day, in the exact place you chose to say I do. There is something so special in knowing that every year you’ll see and smell the flowers around you on your anniversary. I love embracing the rhythms and quirks that each month brings when using exclusively locally grown flowers.
Your flowers become a natural extension of your venue, not competing with it, but delicately and naturally embellishing. Scent, colour, texture and movement combine in my naturalistic designs to create a full sensory experience your guests will never forget. Don’t worry about not knowing flower names, just tell me about the setting for your day and how you’d like the flowers to make you feel and I’ll do the rest. Working to your colour palette rather than a strict shopping list of specific flowers, I chose the best flowers in bloom from my cutting garden and curated local growers. I use sustainable mechanics (no floral foam here) to ensure your special day has the lightest of footprints.
FULL FLORAL DESIGN SERVICE
Flowers are so much more than a pretty backdrop. Walking in to a room perfumed with garden roses means you feel the flowers before you see them. They hold special meanings, from the lavender that reminds you of your granny’s garden to the colour of the dress when you first met. Full Service Weddings include a consultation so I can get to know you and your story. I love to hear about your favourite things and hobbies so we can incorporate unexpected details in to your flowers. I’ve pressed seaweed to include in buttonholes for my sea-loving couple and matched flowers to a favourite floral dress.
CONFIDENT, SEEN & SUPPORTED
How you’ll feel every step of the way. I’ll talk you through the flowers that might be at their peak on your day and create a bespoke design proposal. I love helping you maximise the impact from your flowers, suggesting where to focus flowers and options for repurposing on the day. So you don’t spread your floral budget thinly but instead give you and your guests the joyful and lasting impression of abundance. Every cost will be broken down in your personalised quote so there are no surprises. On the day, I’ll hand you your bouquet, talk you through the special ingredients, how to handle it for the best angles and how to care for it throughout the day. I’ll be onsite making sure everything looks perfect. Moving and repurposing floral features can be included as well as a take down service the day after. One of my favourite things is when flowers have a life beyond the wedding day so I’ll happily suggest ways for your arrangements to be repurposed and gifted to guests.
