Supplier Spotlight - Vintage Gathering

Who are you and what do you do? 

My name is Hannah Fleming and I own and run a bespoke wedding & event flower service called Vintage Gathering. 

What was the inspiration for starting your business? 

I’ve always wanted to do something that I love which doesn’t feel like a job- after doing the flowers at my own wedding I decided it was something that I had both a passion and a talent for so took the plunge and went for it- you have to try! 

What makes you stand out from the crowd? 

I think my personal touch, bespoke style and really getting to know each bride- I will always make sure that whatever budget a bride & groom have, they will get the best and most beautiful flowers and I offer free consultation the whole way through right until the day, so that my customers feel really valued-I end up getting to know them pretty well and it’s so nice to see them have the perfect day! 

What are you tipping as the next “big thing” for weddings? 

I think the next big thing and something that’s trickling in already is the move away from tradition to ensure that the couple’s big day is as personalised as possible- coloured wedding dresses, non conventional settings and getting guests to share some of the costs! I’ve seen quite a few weddings lately where guests paid for corsages and buttonholes for themselves for example. 

Best advice for brides and grooms to be planning their wedding? 

 Please ask for help from other people and don’t feel that by doing everything yourself is the only way to get the wedding you want- delegate and take the pressure off, especially the day before! And always remember, do what makes you both happy, it’s your day!
