Gemma was delightful to work with. She met us on at the venue to do a full walk through and was responsive and understanding of our vision. We had several spaces to work with and even some last minute designs that we wouldn't know how to decorate until we sourced other items. Through it all, Gemma was flexible and creative. Her love for her work shown throuhgh on the day. She'd sourced the most beautiful branches (for a sort of wabi sabi / ikebana aesthetic) which went above and beyond the scope of standard flowers and bouquets. We loved the ultimate designs and her keen eye for dressing up the space, on our budget no less!

We chose Femme Petale because of the modern style of her flowers, and I saw a picture on her Instagram of the exact look I was going for - toffee roses, dusty pinks and creams. Gemma did not disappoint on the day. Her designs were gorgeous and exactly what we envisioned. Last minute, we also ordered some meadows to be placed around the bottom of the harp for the ceremony and Gemma completely understood what we were trying to achieve with the look. She also gave me some great advice when I was flapping in the week leading up to the wedding. Her portfolio of ideas that she sent over at the beginning of the process really helped me to crystallise in my mind the colour palette for the wedding. All in all a great wedding supplier. I would recommend.

We had a bit of a weird brief... purple & green were our wedding colours but we also wanted birds of paradise. Gemma helped us shape what became the entire tropical theme of the wedding. It made perfect sense as we were getting married in an Orangery. Rather than a flower arch, we had a stunning palm cloud as the backdrop to our ceremony & every bouquet, button hole and centrepiece was more beautiful than I could have imagined.

We opted for slightly untraditional decoration for our wedding and had several large flower bouquets, flower crowns, flower wands, bud vases and garlands along with buttonholes and corsages. They were all stunning and fitted our decorations really well. As someone who has allergies to certain flowers, Gemma at Femme Petale was great in making sure the flowers on my crown didn't set me off sneezing down the aisle! The whole process was great from start to finish and Gemma was super flexible and helpful even when we weren't sure exactly what we needed. The flowers lasted really well and have dried lovely so we can keep them as memento of the day.

Gemma recently created our stunning wedding flowers and we were absolutely over the moon with what a fantastic job she did!

We were first drawn to Gemma’s unique and bright style, we loved her creations using wild and vibrant blooms, and really felt her style stood out from other florists. We’d been in touch with a couple of florists, but Gemma’s enthusiasm and creativity drew us to her straight away.

Working with Gemma was an absolute pleasure from start to finish - right from the very first consultation she seemed to get us and our vision, and have fantastic insight and ideas as well. The proposal Gemma put together was so professional and gave us an excellent insight into her creative process and what our flowers could look like. Gemma was really accommodating with any and all changes we suggested, and even took delivery of a special bouquet ribbon and sorted everything out for the bridal party bouquets.

We were absolutely blown away with the flowers on the day - they looked stunning and guests commented all day long about how beautiful they were. We had bud vases on the tables which were such an effective way to bring flowers into all elements of the day, as well as stunning altar flowers - we truly loved them!

We couldn’t recommend working with Gemma more, she is such a pleasure to work with and her creativity and artistry with florals is truly breathtaking. If you’re looking at enquiring with Femme Petale - just do it! You won’t regret it.

Working with Gemma was a pleasure! She was always professional and replied to all my messages. I pretty much completely changed what I wanted in regards to flower colours from the initial meeting to the final meeting before the wedding and this was no problem for Gemma! She listened to all of my ideas and what I wanted and, wow, were the flowers stunning on the day! The colours were fantastic and exactly what I wanted; I had so many people tell me how much they loved the flowers and it really made the venue look amazing! She did not have an easy job given I had 9 bridesmaids but all the bouquets were so lovely! Would recommend her to anyone!

The first thing I want to say is that I can't recommend Gemma highly enough. If you get the chance - book her! Having Gemma on our team was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.
She listened so carefully to what we wanted (even after we changed our minds a few times!) and she got it completely right. We first decided to go to Gemma because of the way her packages are laid out on her website - they're really clear and informative (unlike other suppliers websites who we felt were aimed towards experienced wedding planners, rather than couples with no experience in booking a florist for an event). Then, after chatting with her, it was clear she was going to be perfect for us - she's so incredibly lovely, supportive and enthusiastic, but also knows exactly how to calm an anxious engaged couple at one of the most stressful time of their lives!
Seeing my wedding bouquet for the first time brought me to tears and that was only a taste of what was to come on the big day. Every single element of the flowers were perfect - from the beautiful petals down the aisle, to the arrangements on the tables. Gemma made our day look and feel so chic and magical and we're so, so grateful to her for sharing her amazing talent with us on our special day.

We were and still are over the moon with the incredible florals Femme Petale created for our wedding. From start to finish, working with Gemma was a pleasure – she was professional, creative and full of ideas. She somehow took my very abstract 'brief' and gave me back exactly what I had been hoping for, and put in a lot of work to make it happen – she was the first supplier I saw the morning of our wedding and the last one I saw that night.

I lost count of how many compliments we got – so many people told me they were the best wedding flowers they had ever seen. I don't think I will ever want to stop staring at the photos of them. Walking in to see our pink cloud of gypsophila at the altar was the most magical experience and everything, from the pew ends (and I loved seeing these reused again on the top table chairs, what a great idea) to the bud vases and bouquets, was just absolutely perfect.

I know people think wedding flowers are expensive, and it's true they are, but every single penny was worth it and we would spend it all again. Thank you Gemma!

Gemma is such a talented florist. She flowered our elopement in 2021 when we got married during COVID and then worked her magic again in 2022 at the same venue when we had a wedding party. She listened to what we wanted and made our vision come to life. I honestly couldn’t have asked for anything more. Beautiful flowers and super easy, friendly and professional to work with. Thank you Gemma!

Gemma was so wonderful to work with for our East London wedding. Through just a handful of phone consultations and emails, Gemma immediately understood our vision and continued to work very independently, which was a huge relief because we were so busy dealing with all the other wedding suppliers. On the day of, we were blown away by the floral display - from the actual array of plants she chose to the vases she placed them in, everything looked exactly liked we had dreamed of and more. Thank you Gemma for everything!

Gemma really pulled all the stops out, My flowers were INCREDIBLE!
My wedding ceremony was located in the woods (not the easiest place to set up, especially on a hot day) she made two gorgeous stands to create an archway, the ceremony was magical thanks to her.
My wedding theme was 'Spring flowers' I wanted everything extra colourful, she really delivered! my bouquet was sensational.
Gemma made the booking process very easy, she was fantastic to work with and I shall definitely be recommending her to everyone.

Where to start in trying to describe just how amazing our wedding flowers were. Gemma just totally got our vision for the day and my style and made the planning seem so effortless especially as our arrangements changed at the last minute due to covid restrictions. My bouquet was absolutely stunning and I had so many comments on how unique and amazing the wedding flowers were. If you are looking for a truly unique wedding style - Gemma is the go to person she is so creative and just a lovely person to work with too. Lucie and Jamie.

I recently worked with Gemma and can honestly say she is a real talent and a pleasure to work with. She's a true professional and a creative florist. I'd highly recommend Gemma!
