My Big Fat Kentishtowner Wedding? Nearly!

Flowers

Flowers are another area where there’s a lot of pressure to spend money as it’s “the most important thing”, at least according to the mother-in-law.

Looking around Kentish Town, Jayne’s on K-Town High St is good to explore and their blooms are always very fresh and will last. In the end we found that Gary at Covington Florist in Swain’s Lane could understand exactly what we were looking for and offered some good suggestions. Take pictures with you when you talk to florists, learn a few names. Now, I’m pleased to divulge, I know what a delphinium is.

Natasha’s flower stand under the canopy by the tube station can sort you out with everything from bouquets to last-minute extras. The day before our wedding, we bought all our table flowers from her for a brilliant price, and she was really happy to help out with our colour scheme.

  1. Well done Tim! I’m having a kentishtowner wedding in September at the beautiful Colonel Fawcett. Dress from Elizabeth Avey at Tufnell Park, flowers by grooms florist mum. The only aspect of the wedding I can’t cater for in Kentish is parking for the guests!
