Flowers are an integral part of any wedding. But how can we use flowers whilst being Eco-Conscious? We believe we have found the perfect balance with Denise from The Garden Gate.

Her individual, imaginative arrangements for weddings and bouquets are made using seasonal scented British garden flowers and foliage.

Charlotte Atkinson- Watercolour Weddings
It was a unanimous decision at Eco925 to add this wonderful addition to our wedding guide. The idea of a live wedding painter is so unusual and classy that everyone in the office has decided they want to renew their vows, just so they can have a portrait! Charlotte is renowned for her incredible subtlety, capturing her subjects with a sophisticated, signature style. With a string of awards to her name, displaying her art all over the world. Charlotte also uses watercolours instead of oils, which is a big plus in our books as it is a lot more Eco-friendly. But these live canvases are just the tip of the iceberg. Watercolour weddings also offer guest portraits in water based watercolour so everyone has a little gift to take away. Find everything you need at watercolour weddings here.
