Hey, I’m
Gemma.
Florist and Founder of Pretty Floral.
I’d love to tell you a little more about me and the work I do…
Working from my beautiful garden studio in Bicester, near Oxford, I provide bespoke wedding flowers throughout Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and the rest of the South East. My designs are perfect for laidback, luxurious celebrations. Using flowers and foliage of the highest quality, everything I create is natural, unfussy and relaxed with a refined, elegant feel.
I love working with couples who are excited to elevate and transform their dream wedding venue and want flowers to play a central role. Delivering colour, texture and scent, there’s no better way to add magic and romance to the overall look and feel of your day.
Kind Words
Thanks for being the nicest person.
‘Thanks for being the nicest person. Nothing was too much trouble, and you understood the vision perfectly. We were so lucky to be able to work with someone like you. Every one of our guests said how beautiful the flowers were.’

More about me
When I’m not busy with flowers, my fiancé and I love to travel. I’m a big fan of BBQs in the summer and bottomless brunches all year round! I play for a local netball team, and binge-watching TV box sets is my go-to when I need to relax.
A Few of My Favourite Things…
Flower
When peony season rolls around, I can barely contain my excitement. If you’re getting married in May or June, there will be peonies somewhere in your wedding florals! They’re just so soft and pretty, and I love how much of a statement they make! As a (mostly) all-year-round flower, I also adore stocks. Their incredible scent never gets old.
Season
Spring, definitely! When it starts getting warmer and lighter, it makes me feel excited for summer, without having to deal with the crazy heat that season can bring! I also love the flowers that start to fill my studio at this time of year.
Colour
Green. If I had to be specific, I’d say olive green, but to be honest, I like every shade of green I’ve ever come across! I think this is why I’m such a big fan of foliage arrangements. Obviously, I love flowers too, but there’s nothing better than being surrounded by lots of greenery. I’ve just painted my new studio a beautiful shade of sage green for this very reason! It’s such a calming colour.
Place
Thailand holds some special memories for me, and I would love to go back one day. The people are incredibly friendly, and the food is amazing. The islands are all so beautiful, and you can’t beat the weather and the beaches either!
Floral Creation
I love everything about the work I do, but creating a bride’s bouquet is my favourite task of all. There’s no better feeling than seeing everyone’s reaction when I carefully hand it over. I know it will be enjoyed and admired all day, and it will appear in all your wedding photos! This is why I think it’s one of the most important things I make.
