Why Couples Choose Jemma Khan for Their Wedding Flowers – A Testimonial from Melissa and Danny
Choosing your wedding florist is a big decision, and we understand that you want the best for your special day. At Jemma Khan (formerly Forage Floristry), we pride ourselves on creating bespoke wedding florals that reflect your style and vision. To make the process even better, we often speak with past couples to learn about their experiences. We recently chatted with Melissa and Danny, who had a stunning autumn wedding at Oddfellows on the Park. Here's what they had to say about working with us:
What Made You Choose Jemma Khan for Your Wedding Flowers?
"I came across Jemma on Instagram and instantly fell in love with her natural, relaxed style. It was exactly what we were looking for and fit our autumn wedding theme perfectly. My first meeting with Jemma was at our venue, and I immediately knew I wanted to work with her. She was so knowledgeable and really put us at ease with her ideas and expertise!"
What Was the Best Part of Your Day?
"We loved absolutely everything about our day. From the moment Jemma arrived with the most beautiful bouquets, I knew the day ahead would be something special. We truly enjoyed spending the day with all our favourite people, smiling all day long. Even though we planned it all, we still felt like the day was full of surprises. Seeing everything come together and being able to relax and enjoy it was amazing."
Tell Us About the Style/Theme of Your Wedding
"We wanted an autumn wedding that was relaxed and easygoing, just like our personalities. We didn’t want the formalities and instead focused on creating a big, joyful party. Our October wedding featured deep purple and gold tones, with floral arrangements taking centre stage. We incorporated a variety of textures, including fruits and berries, to complement the theme."
How Did the Flowers Elevate Your Wedding?
"We asked Jemma to create something unique and 'WOW,' and she certainly delivered. The hanging ceiling installation of individual flower heads was breathtaking. The colours and textures in all the arrangements were simply stunning and perfectly suited the autumn theme. I will never forget the moment I saw my bridal bouquet – it literally took my breath away and continues to be a topic of conversation among our guests."
What Was Your Favourite Arrangement?
"There’s no way I could choose! I loved every arrangement. The stair puddle, the urns, the bud vases, the hanging installation, the cake flowers – everything was perfect. I’m so glad we opted for a variety of designs. Wherever we were in the venue, we were surrounded by Jemma’s beautiful creations. The fact that the ceremony flowers could be reused in the wedding breakfast room was an added bonus. The colours and flowers were all so amazing."
How Did You Find the Process of Working with Jemma?
"Amazing! I absolutely could not fault it. Jemma is so professional, calm, and talented. She was always available by phone or email, responding quickly. We met several times at the venue beforehand, and nothing was ever too much trouble. She was genuinely excited about our vision and worked with us to create something far beyond what I could have imagined. I trusted Jemma from the moment I met her and had complete confidence in her. She also supplied candles and vases, taking care of styling the tables, cake, and ceremony room. It meant we didn’t have to think about any extras!"
Words of Wisdom for Future Couples
"USE JEMMA! You absolutely will not regret it. Her work is incredible, and so is she! I can honestly say that the wedding planning process was much less stressful than I expected, thanks to the amazing suppliers we worked with. It’s crucial to choose suppliers you can trust and build a relationship with – ones who truly care about your vision and can support your ideas. Enjoy the process because it’s all part of the journey!"
