The Long Paddock Florist

The Long Paddock Florist uniquely blends rustic charm and natural beauty for weddings. Kathryn, the creative force behind the business, brings her passion for foraging and local flora to every arrangement. Her deep connection with the local countryside is evident in the seasonal blooms and unique foliages she uses. Kathryn’s dedication to sustainability sets The Long Paddock Florist apart. She avoids imported flowers, opting instead for locally grown and garden-cultivated varieties. Her commitment to old-school floristry means she avoids modern throw-away plastics and floral foam, ensuring each arrangement is as eco-friendly as beautiful. With a background in visual arts, Kathryn applies her design skills to create stunning, sustainable floral pieces.

"Kathryn is an absolute delight to work with. She created the most beautiful floristry for my wedding. I did not see my florals until my wedding day, and somehow she created my dream florals based off my very rough description and a picture or two over email. Communication was a 10/10 and very reasonably priced. Absolutely fantastic, highly highly recommend." - Annette
