Darling Buds

Darling Buds is a Devon florist creating bespoke flowers for weddings and events. Working from mid Devon, near Cullompton and Exeter, the business designs each wedding to order rather than selling set packages, and builds the flowers around the seasons and the look you want.

Why they suit LGBTQ+ couples

Every design is made for one couple, so you are never handed a standard bridal brief to adapt. You can talk through what you want without assumptions about who carries a bouquet or who wears a buttonhole. GLW likes florists who work this closely with couples, because the flowers end up reflecting the two of you rather than a template.

What they offer

• Bespoke wedding flowers, from bouquets to venue styling
• Flowers for other events and celebrations
• Seasonal bouquets and a flower delivery service
• Wedding signage
• Flowers for hen parties
• Floristry workshops, including flower crowns and seasonal wreaths

How they work

Darling Buds works closely with each couple to shape the design, paying attention to small details as well as the overall look. Blooms are seasonal and come from a range of growers, which keeps the palette fresh and true to the time of year. The florist keeps up with current techniques while holding on to a recognisable style of its own, so it helps to look through the gallery before you get in touch.

Where they cover

Darling Buds works across Devon and the surrounding area. It has working relationships with several well-known Devon wedding venues and appears on their recommended supplier lists, which makes set-up on the day easier if you are marrying at one of them.
