Jools is a flower farmer-florist growing an ever increasing range of beautiful British seasonal flowers on her flower fields outside Knowle near Solihull and Kenilworth.

Passionate about creating magical, romantic floral designs reflecting the beauty of nature, the team’s approach embraces sustainable, eco-friendly floristry techniques to offer you unique wedding flowers for your special day. Using many of the less familiar flowers grown on the farm the team create a signature garden gathered style that is fresh, whimsical, scented and generous.

Lilac and Barrow Flowers offer bridal bouquets, buttonholes, flower crowns and flowers for the little ones. Also venue floral decor such as floral arches, pedestals, meadows and hanging designs

Jools offers an initial consultation by telephone so that she can start to get to know each couple and to think together about their ideas, favourite flowers and ‘vibe’ for their special day.

Where possible some flowers can be planned and grown with a couple’s wedding date in mind…and that’s when the flower magic really happens!

Put your trust in Jools!

We got married last Saturday (26.10.24) and cannot recommend Lilac and Barrow Flowers enough! We had a smaller, more informal wedding but Jools was happy to work with the things we wanted and understood exactly what we wanted with only a few inspo pictures. One of the things we loved the most about our wedding was working with small businesses run by amazing people. The people you choose for various parts of your wedding play a big part in your wedding day and working with wonderful, kind people like Jools is the best thing you can do to enjoy your day! The beauty of her flowers speak for themselves, but I believe it’s people who make their businesses and Jools shines through with her kindness and her flowers!

Highly recommend! So gorgeous

We could not recommend Jools from Lilac and Barrow flowers more... she truly transformed our wedding into the most gorgeous (and yummy smelling) event of the decade.
Jools was so welcoming for us to come and look around her homegrown flowers, and great with making it exciting for our flower girl too.
We didn't have much clue about floristry but Jools helped us fall in love with flowers - the beautiful variety she found for our autumnal wedding were mind blowing.
Jools decorated the whole ceremony and reception venue, and did our bouquets, button holes and wrist corsages - they were all perfect; and tied the whole day together in the most stunning way.
Highly recommend for all weddings / events.

Incredibly styled flowers, sustainable and served with a smile!

Julie did the flowers for our wedding and she went above and beyond our expectations. The flowers themselves were stunningly beautiful and it felt great because we knew they had all been grown sustainably on her farm. Julie worked so hard the day before our wedding ensuring they were all perfect and they absolutely were, nothing seemed like too much trouble! Lots of guests said how amazing the flowers were too! I had my hen do on Julie's farm as well which was such a great experience with all my closest relatives and friends making flower crowns and hair pieces from dried flowers for the big day. It was such a fun and wholesome way to spend the day. Highly recommend if you want beautiful, sustainable flowers for your big day!

Beautiful flowers, highly recommend!

I can’t recommend Jools enough! She is very friendly, attentive and passionate - she cares about the flowers and about the service she’s providing.

Her flower farm is absolutely gorgeous too and I was able to go around it the summer prior to my wedding so I could pick out some of my faves to have in my bouquet which was a lovely touch! She also planted more of the flowers I liked at the start of the year so that there would be plenty of them on the day.

She was good at providing advice with how we could re-use the flowers and transport them from the church to the reception. I had mentioned I wanted to dry my bouquet too and so she added in some flowers which she knows dry well which was very thoughtful.

Since my wedding I’ve been back to do a flower picking and arranging course and I’ve already booked in to make a Christmas wreath

Dreamy pastel meadow spray for our Summer wedding!

Jools is a lovely and devoted wedding florist that made our wedding day look and feel wonderful. Our wedding was inside a walled garden with a huge tipi and we requested a mix of blue, lilac, pink, peach and white flowers of the season to go with our theme and matched the groomsmen and bridesmaids perfectly. We were able to visit Jool’s flower farm a year before our big day to understand what would be available and it was such a magical experience being able to pick out your flowers in real life before the day itself. On the day our flowers looked absolutely flawless, we had meadow sprays at the end of the aisle and in front of the top table, as well as little potted flowers on the tables -it looked so dreamy and gorgeous! I’ve recommended Jools to so many people now and two of closest friends have used her for their weddings which has been so lovely!

Beautiful flowers from a passionate florist!

The flowers Jools put together for our wedding were gorgeous and added a lovely wildflower/English garden feel to our day. We had been speaking to another florist before meeting Jools but we didn’t feel the kind of passion with that florist that we found with Jools. A lot of the flowers I liked were Spring flowers but we were getting married in August, Jools kindly offered alternatives that were similar to the flowers I wanted. We met with Jools and she had put together a mock up bud vase with colours and flowers we had discussed, and she had nailed it in the first go. When she delivered the flowers on our day, bouquets and bud vases for the tables, despite already being amazed by the example flowers, we were blown away on our big day to see everything in place and how well the flowers were incorporated.
I have pressed and dried my bouquet to try and preserve it for longer, I loved them that much. Jools’ passion and flair comes across in the way she speaks about her work and we found this to be such a valuable quality.
I recommend Lilac and Barrow to anyone who wants someone with the passion to match their talent, you will 100% find this in Jools.

Most beautiful wedding flowers

I asked if Julie could do me Cala Lillies for my wedding + 5 bridesmaids and a male of honour. The flowers were so beautiful I had so many lovely comments. Julie always got back to me quickly and arrived to the room at the venue on the morning of making everything so easy. I added an extra bouquet on last minute and Julie was able to accommodate this. I could not recommend her more highly. I would just like to say thank you so much! Natasha

Beautiful and unique floral arrangements!

Jools is an amazing florist! I loved going to the 'shed of dreams' to think about flower ideas and she ultimately captured exactly the essence of what I was after and I was so over the moon with how it all turned out on the day! The flowers were beautiful! Thank you so much! 100% recommend! J x

Highly recommended homegrown florist

I cannot express how thrilled we were with the floral arrangements provided by our homegrown florist, Lilac and Barrow Flowers, for our wedding day. From the very first consultation to the final delivery on our special day, every aspect of working with Jools was nothing short of exceptional.
Jools took the time to understand our vision and preferences. During our initial meeting, she listened attentively as we shared our ideas and inspirations. Her passion for flowers and her commitment to using home grown blooms shone through in every conversation.
On the day of our wedding, we were absolutely blown away by the beauty of the floral arrangements, they were just stunning!
Throughout the planning process, Jools’ professionalism really stood out. She was incredibly responsive to all of our questions and made adjustments with ease.
I wholeheartedly recommend ‘Lilac and Barrow Flowers’ for anyone seeking a talented florist who genuinely cares about their work and clients. Jools’ artistry transformed our wedding into a floral wonderland that exceeded all expectations. Thank you so much for making our special day even more beautiful! 💐

The most wonderful florist and the most beautiful flowers

From the moment I spoke to Jools I knew I had found my florist for the wedding. She was by far my favourite supplier and the element of the wedding I was most looking forward to seeing the final product. We worked wonderfully together and I could not recommend her more highly. Stop looking and booked her, you will not be disappointed.

Jools is warm and welcoming and from the beginning she listened to my ideas, she understood my theme and what I wanted and we talked through options and colour schemes. She also helped me in so many ways with the wedding, not just with the flowers and she was just amazing all the way through.

She kept in regular contact over the months, was happy for me to bombard her with photos and ideas, and quite frankly has the patience of a saint as I kept adding extra bits to the list. Jools was so accommodating and helped me organise with extra bouquets for gifts and extra last minute corsages, nothing was too much trouble and she is such a lovely soul.

Jools was so on point with bringing my ideas to life, she completely embodied my vision with her flowers and we could not have been happier with the final wedding flowers. She absolutely nailed it! They were just outstanding, truly beautiful and elegant and more than I could have ever asked for. I told her my vision and I trusted her implicitly to deliver and my word she did. Give her artistic licence as you will not be disappointed as her professionalism and artistry is second to none.

I got the flowers I dreamed of and they just finished the whole look of the wedding. They were just perfect in every way and we cannot thank her enough.
