Pick n Mix item selections

We want to stress that the pick n mix collection is for couples who love our style of florals, are happy with a mix of “florists choice” market best flowers - we know flowers inside out and will ensure that the florals you receive will be high quality, beautiful and in keeping with your colour scheme.

  • Your bouquets and florals will be within the F&R signature style and made to the sizes indicated on our sample page, but will be created with your colour scheme in mind using seasonal, high quality flowers. Our website and socials are full of examples of our wedding florals, feel free to have a nosy and make sure we’re the right choice for you.

    We have created a pricing recipe to ensure consistency, however the beauty of our Pick & Mix Collection is that your blooms will still be unique to your day, due to the seasonality of flowers and the colour schemes you’ve specified.

    Over the years, our couples have loved trusting us to create their florals in this kind of way - allowing us freedom to create your perfect blooms and allows for a little lovely surprise for you, on a day that you have otherwise planned to the letter!

  • Regardless of season - Bouquets and florals will usually include stunning large headed roses, cute lil spray roses, frilly lisianthus and a variety of tall flowers such stocks, snapdragons and calla lillies, along side fragrant greenery.

    Additionally to these florals, we will add in seasonal superstars to make your florals show stopping! This may include dahlias, ranunculus, cosmos, tulips or even peonies - this is all dependent on what is blooming best the week of your wedding! This ensures we are getting the best possible quality of florals for your day.

  • If you don’t need a bridal bouquet - that’s perfectly fine! Or if you need more than one, that’s great too! The Pick & Mix Collection offers you the flexibility to choose what you’d like.

    That being said, we would not suggest ordering a bridesmaid bouquet in place of a bridal bouquet due to the size difference - this is why we offer three sizes of bridal bouquet!

  • That’s fine! We can supply the personal florals only for you day - we do ask for orders to be a minimum of £350 for fresh florals from the Pick & Mix Collection.

  • Generally we do not allow for additional items outside of the listed items to be added to pick n mix weddings. If you are wanting aisle florals, archways and any other additional florals we are happy to accommodate this via a bespoke wedding call. We’d love to hear your ideas!

    The being said - we can add Thank You gift bouquets, cake flowers and bunches of foliage for additional decor, we can confirm close to the date.

  • We can certainly do this - but we suggest you contact us for a bespoke quote if you have specific ideas for your flowers. The Pick & Mix Collection does allow for you to request your favorite florals (if in season) as well as send us your colour scheme.

    The Pick & Mix Collection might not be the right fit for your day.

  • When ordering from the Pick & Mix Collection - Your florals will be created using a variety of flower varieties. If you would like to request your bouquets to be one floral type (eg all roses, all calla lillies) we can certainly accommodate this, however we request you set up a bespoke floral call with us to ensure we get the quote and the florals right for you on this!

  • We can’t promise certain stems, due to the nature of our pick n mix collection and mother nature herself.

    However if you have a request for a certain flower that is in full season, please let us know and we will endeavor to include it where possible.

  • If there are certain florals you definitely don’t want to see (we’re looking at you, lillies!) then let us know!

    The only caveat to this would be roses - if you’d like to skip on the roses, you’d be much better creating a bespoke package with us to we can happily accommodate this!

  • We generally don’t do this, as we want them to be a lovely surprise for you and hope that all our couples trust us to make their flowers amazing!

    We may post some images of the florals in our studio when they arrive but we will never post finished items on socials before they have been delivered to you.

  • We only use the vases we provide for Pick & Mix orders.

    We do not recommend that the venue florals are taken out of the vases and vessels that are provided.

    We take no responsibility for any damage to the arrangements in any way if you choose to swap the vases or attempt to change the arrangements in any way.

  • For our large arrangements, we use “pickle jar” size vases, for our smaller vases, we use “honey jars” and for our bud vases we will use a mix of different size vases.

    All of these vases will be clear glass as standard and we’ve found they work perfectly for their purpose!

    These cannot be altered - however if you want your bud vases to be all identical - we can do this at request.

Colour Scheme selection

  • We know picking a colour scheme can be tricky! We are happy to provide some guidance with this and will be adding colour scheme examples to the website and our socials for you to see!

  • On our Pick & Mix order from, there is space for you to tell us this information. Once your order is confirmed, we are more than happy for you to send over a small moodboard to show the colour scheme you would like, to ensure we are matching your bridesmaids and other decor well!

  • We know colour schemes and other details may shift slightly during the planning process - if you are booking over 3 months out - we will set up a quick call around 4 weeks before your wedding to finalise any details in terms of colour schemes, ribbons, deliveries and order quantities.

    • please ensure you give us realistic colours and the shade - if you want pinks, are we thinking soft, light tones or really punchy brights?

    • Colours like “blush” and “nude” can mean different things to different people, sending colours on a small moodboard will clear up any confusion.

    • Please be aware that we are dealing with natural products, we may not be able to get the perfect shade of lilac or blue, but we will ensure the mix of florals are as close to your scheme as possible

    • White flowers are a popular choice, but as you may have found if you’re on the hunt for the perfect white dress, the shades can vary drastically! White florals can often vary in subtle shades of creams, pinks and green tones. If you want bright white or creamier tones, let us know!! White florals are also the most likely to bruise or show marks during the day on bridal party bouquets, due to their light tones, this is something to bear in mind and remember to treat them delicately!

    • Your bouquets and florals will contain greenery as standard. If you would like to discuss more flower heavy/no greenery options, we can do this on a bespoke call.
