Jacqui O

Jacqui O, has a reputation for creating breathtaking floral designs for exquisite wedding ceremonies and celebrations is widely admired.

"From the moment we started speaking during our video consultation I knew we were in safe hands with Jacqui. She completely understood my vision and made it come to life, using all of my favourite British flowers."

'Love is love', Jacqui O believes every couple should have beautiful flowers, pleasuring the senses with the sweetest fragrances, tantalising textures and mesmerising arrangements.

Your beautiful crafted florals will reflect and celebrate your individuality and unique personal style unlike any other. Our approach is design-led and this creates luxurious florals that make you feel special and leave your guests speechless. We weave your story and personality into the heart of your stylish floral creations.

I was always creative as a child,  I was often found sitting in a field sketching flowers and nature on the family farm in the Shropshire countryside. I was mesmerised by the beautiful blooms capturing their individuality through the season.

Following my heart led me to achieve a 1st Class Honours in Surface Pattern Design at University, followed by a successful career as a Visual Merchandising  Manager at John Lewis. As a manager I missed being creative so I began a professional course in floristry and I loved it! In 2013 I founded the luxury floral design business Jacqui O. I replaced my pencils and sketchbook with flowers, I wanted to be surrounded by nature once again.  My passion lies in the skilled art of showcasing some of the most beautiful gifts of nature, appreciated by those who see them not only for their beauty, but also their power to evoke emotion for a special occasion.

Here at Jacqui O, we tailor our packages rather than offer something off the shelf.Our clients prefer to have their own ‘Bespoke’ florals as every one of our weddings is tailored to the couples’ individual personality and style. Some couples choose an intimate wedding and request small amounts of flowers, whilst others are flower-loving couples and wish to have florals everywhere. Every single request is equally important to us so you have memories to treasure forever.

Jacqui O is proud of the beautifully crafted florals, which reflect and celebrate your individuality and unique personal style. We limit the number of events and weddings we do each season so that we can offer our clients the highest level of service and attention. I usually work on one wedding per day or, very rarely, two very small weddings.

Here at Jacqui O we love to enhance your flower journey and fulfil your biggest dreams on your wedding day. Through bespoke experiences and lifestyle services, our team take care of every aspect of your wedding flowers to make your guest speechless.

Our pricing includes:

• PLANNING & PREPARATION - Jacqui has worked with you to understand the vision of and inspiration behind the wedding flowers for your big day. Behind the scenes, we are making mental notes of many other details that make all the difference to a perfectly planned wedding.
• SOURCING & PRODUCTION - Wedding flowers are a premium product, and that comes with a price tag, especially if you’ve chosen a specific variety or colour. At the height of the wedding season the price of white roses can double and triple on some days, yet, chances are, you had your quote anything up to six months earlier. We look after your flowers days before your wedding to ensure the blooms are open to perfection. This involves stripping all the leaves, and thorns from the stems and placing them in water and solutions to hydrate them in clean buckets we have lined up.
• FLORAL ART - We spend countless hours in the placement and design of each arrangement and/or floral piece: from bouquets to each hand-created boutonniere, corsage, centrepiece, aisle flowers and all the tiny details. The process requires that each stem is given a fresh cut, and carefully placed into an arrangement.
• DELIVERY & SET UP -  To transport and deliver flowers, each design must be packaged and misted to arrive in one piece at the wedding venue, and sometimes multiple locations. Extra time is allotted to ensure arrival with no challenges. Once they have arrived, all flowers are placed in the coolest spot, and then on-site set-up begins and we add any other finishing touches to the wedding day look.
• COLLECTION & DISMANTLE - The morning after your beautiful wedding we return early to your venue to collect the vases, and hire kit and act upon your wishes for your wedding flowers, from remaking them into gifts, to donating them to a charity on your behalf. Once we return to the studio all the items are unloaded, cleaned and returned to storage for their next outing.

A floral designer has one chance to get your flowers right. There are no second chances, and a new bouquet can’t be delivered the next day because there isn’t a next day!! However, as an experienced professional floral designer, I aim to get it right and delight every time.

We prefer bank transfer, when you're ready to go ahead a £500 non refundable booking and design fee is required to reserve me for your special day, where you will have my undivided attention. The remaining balance is due 6 weeks before the event.
