As a wedding florist, I empathise with couples when it comes to the task of sorting out their flowers for their big day. After all, most people generally won’t have had any previous experience with the purchase of flowers before for a wedding and so can feel a little daunted at the prospect.

So join me as I talk you through what considerations come into play when selecting your dream wedding florals and what you can expect to pay.

In Episode 3 of The Boho Bride Guide Podcast,we will be taking a closer look at the handmade, Fair Trade and ethically sourced jewellery trade with the fabulous Julia Thompson, a British jewellery designer and silversmith based in South Somerset, England.

I have been very excited myself to learn more about this subject, not only from a craftsmanship point of view, but also am looking forward to learn more about the ethically sourced jewellery trade and how we as consumers can make more informed choices around our wedding jewellery purchases.

 I was lucky enough to meet the very talented Julia, from Julia Thompson Jewellery, when I came across her work online and thought her unique style would be perfect for a wedding editorial I was organising with the theme of ‘Boho Botanical Victoriana’.

Her expressive selection of unique statement necklaces, stacking nest rings, and elegant drop earrings, all built on a strong ethos of Fair Trade ethics, had me totally sold into the idea and couldn’t wait to work with her.

And that is why I wanted to also dedicate an episode of the podcast to the work she does and the causes she promotes so passionately.
