More than just a floristry service Petal and Posie want to inspire brides with the natural ability flowers have to transform any occasion. Their beautiful website shows how keen they are to inspire and engage with brides through inspiration boards and exciting blog.

When Stacey & Rosie exhibited at our Groundlings Theatre Wedding Fair in June 2014, the first thing they said on the day was ‘we don’t need this table’, which immediately got us intrigued and excited! They bought their own set up along and really made the most of the space which just displayed their creativity & originality amazingly for all Brides to see.

 “Founder and owner Stacey Grineau has 15 years in the florist industry, together with her husband they have 4 stalls throughout Dorset. Stacey’s style is influenced by the charm of vintage and the freshness of contemporary design, creating everything from bouquets to complete events. With a vision to get back to her creative roots and break away from run of the mill flowers in floristry. Petal and Posie was born.”

 “Stylist and business partner, Rosie Slater has worked in the advertising industry as an Art director for the past 15 years, this has given her an invaluable eye for detail and a natural ability to stay on trend. With experience in styling photo shoots and making all things look pretty, Rosie’s background in design ensures that all projects, big or small receive the finishing touches they deserve.”

 “Co-owner and head buyer at Petal & Posie Craig Daly has learnt his trade in the bustling fresh cut flower markets of Birmingham. Having a strong family background in flowers he has gained experience and understanding to a level that cannot be taught. Held in high esteem with most wholesalers and growers near and far.

We can’t wait for future events and photo shoots to see what else they may have up their floral sleeves!

A Lovely & Theatrical Affair!

The first official day of the summer and the sun had put his hat on for our Lovely & Theatrical affair at The Groundlings Theatre, Portsmouth. A glorious day for their much anticipated first fair which turned out to be a very successful one for exhibitors and brides a like.

After climbing the beautiful rustic wooden staircase the brides first ventured into the Green room to meet the lovely Louise and her large roulette table from Jolly Jesters and Worn Once Sparkles with their huge collection of stunning dresses.

The main theatre room was filled with exhibitors chatting to brides, grooms, bridesmaids and families. The room was buzzing with energy from the continuous entertainment provided by the the group Voices from the Heather Uden Choir and the fabulously retro All in The Swing.

Ofcourse a Lovely & Unique wedding fair wouldn't be complete without some bunting strung from the ceiling, a stunnugly dressed round table supplied by Bridesof a Feather to inspire brides, gorgeous fresh flowers, tempting treats and a few alternative table plans.

Queen Bee’s supplied their delightful pop up tea room serving refreshments and nostalgic cakes in the quirky café area whilst Caravanilla supplied delicious British Ice Cream from Olive the 60’s Caravan. Pleasing the visitors with their unusual choices of ice cream and vintage theme, our favourite flavour was the Cider Sorbet.

The talented Hana Venn who helped us out with the previous photo shoot at The Theatre was also event Photographer for us on the day and has captured some amazing shots of the day.
