Søren & Amy’s Preserved Wedding Flowers

Søren & Amy were married in July 2022 at Helmingham Hall, Stowmarket, Suffolk.

Amy has kindly shared some details and beautiful photos from their special day.

“Our wedding day was everything we hoped for. It was an intimate wedding which we celebrated with 48 guests in the most beautiful, idyllic setting. The best moment was exchanging our vows within Helmingham Hall, which was so atmospheric and special. I don’t think there is anything I can think of that we would change!”

“My vision with wedding flowers was for them to be subtle and classic. I requested 80% whites and creams, 15% subtle pink and 5% greenery as a theme which our florist did a fantastic job of creating for us!

We did lots of research on florists and decided to go with Judy from Tiger Lily Flowers because she had years of experience and seemed very professional. I did not know anything about flowers and she made me feel so at ease in the first consultation and gave me the sense of ‘You don’t need to worry about it’. She brought my vision to life!”

“I discovered Charlotte’s fantastic service on Instagram when it came up on my explore page one day. I had been researching ways to ‘savour’ the wedding day and when I saw what Charlotte offered, I knew immediately that this was something that would be so special!

I was lucky to stumble across Charlotte’s service approximately one month before our wedding date and I felt so happy carrying my bouquet on the day, knowing that I would have it in a different form to keep for the rest of my life!”

When I was emailing Amy before her wedding, she was a little unsure if my process would work with her flowers because they were white and green with no additional colours. So I reassured Amy by sending photos of previous examples of pieces I had made with the same colour theme, and she said:

“Wow! Those photos have been so helpful to look at! I absolutely adore the look of the green and white, agreed it does look classy and will fit with whatever decor around it for years to come 🙂 We would like to opt for the version which does incorporate the green / white colour. We’re so happy we found your lovely little business!”

Examples of green/white colour theme:

When I received Amy’s wedding bouquet, it had started to wilt and some of the leaves had dried – but that was absolutely fine. I always encourage for flowers to be enjoyed before sending. Amy and Søren got married on 16th June and I received the bouquet on 27th June.

The flowers still pressed into the clay beautifully, and created a stunning set of three wall tiles to hang in a row.

Amy and Søren were gifted one of my vouchers from a friend to put towards their flower preserved keepsake. The set of three wall hanging tiles were chosen by the couple. Their names and wedding date are stamped at the top of the middle tile. Personalisation was also chosen by the newly weds.

“We are soon going to be moving house, so they are not displayed yet, but we are going to find a wall where we can hang them as pride of place!

I would 100% recommend Charlotte Hupfield Ceramics! From the first time we contacted Charlotte, she was warm, friendly, professional and efficient. Her service is such a unique concept and it’s a bonus Charlotte is so lovely too!”
