Wedding Flower FAQ  

We’re a design-led wedding florist based in Margate, Kent. We work across Thanet and East Kent, including Broadstairs, Ramsgate, Canterbury, Whitstable, Faversham and Dover, and travel throughout Kent, Sussex, and London for weddings. We’re more than happy to travel further afield.

Yes. Although we’re based in Margate, London is a big part of our work. We’ve created wedding flowers at venues including The Ned, The Nomad, St Pancras Hotel, Town Hall Hotel, The Depot, Marylebone Town Hall, Islington Town Hall and Hackney Town Hall, and we regularly design, deliver and install for weddings across the capital. See our London weddings or get in touch with your date and venue.

Modern, sculptural, and considered. We focus on strong shapes, texture, and a thoughtful palette rather than traditional or overly formal arrangements. We work with seasonal and British-grown flowers wherever possible. If you have a Pinterest board, we’d love to see it, but we’ll always design for your venue, season, and personality rather than copying a look.

Our wedding flowers start from £1500 for À La Carte weddings and from £2800 for Bespoke weddings. For smaller or elopement-style celebrations, we offer a bouquet and buttonhole package, which is collection only for £350.

As soon as you’ve chosen your date and venue. Popular dates, especially May to September, can book up 18 months ahead. We take on a limited number of weddings each year so we can give each one proper attention. Enquiring early never hurts!

1. Enquiry: tell us your date, venue, and a little about your day.

2. Consultation: a call, video chat, or meeting in Margate at the studio to talk through your vision.

3. Quote: we send you a clear quote based on your plans.

4. Booking: secure your date with a 25% non-refundable deposit and signed agreement.

5. Design proposal: once you’re booked, we develop a bespoke design proposal around your ideas, venue and season.

6. Final details: we confirm numbers, colours, and logistics around 4 weeks before the wedding.

7. Wedding day: we design, deliver, and set up everything, then collect hire items afterwards.

To book Ultramarine, we require a booking fee of 25% of the confirmed quote to secure your date. Your design proposal follows once you’re booked, and the remaining 75% is due one month before your wedding or event.  

Yes. We’ve created flowers for venues including Turner Contemporary, Updown Farmhouse, and Ripple Court Estate. If we haven’t worked at yours before, we’ll chat with your venue coordinator or visit in advance where needed.

It depends on your date. Spring brings ranunculus, tulips, and anemones; summer offers sweet peas, garden roses, and dahlias; autumn has rich dahlias, foliage, and seed heads; winter works beautifully with hellebores, amaryllis, and dried elements. We’ll recommend the best options for your season and let you know if a favourite flower isn’t at its best then.

As long as the flower is in season, we will do our best to feature it in our floral arrangements. However we endeavour to use seasonal flowers and British flowers wherever possible and due to the nature of flowers we cannot make any guarantees.

Yes. We avoid floral foam, favour seasonal and British / locally grown flowers, reuse and hire vessels and structures where possible, and compost green waste. Tell us if sustainability is a priority and we’ll build the design around it.

Send your date, venue, and rough guest numbers through the Bespoke enquiry form or contact form. We aim to reply within a couple of working days.
