Marianne Johnson and Sweet Pea Floral Design
Marianne Johnson trained under Jane Packer and then spent years with some of London's best known florists, working on luxury events and celebrity weddings, before opening Sweet Pea Floral Design in Hackney in 2008. She remains closely involved in each wedding, from the first meeting through to the day itself.
The studio's look is relaxed but considered. Arrangements are often asymmetric, with stems set back into the display and foliage trailing for movement, and the flowers are chosen by hand at the market early in the week of the wedding. British growers supply the blooms wherever possible, and white, blush and nude tones are the most requested palette.
“We take the time to understand every aspect of the day.”
Sweet Pea Floral Design
The work covers bridal and bridesmaid bouquets, buttonholes, ceremony arches and aisle displays, floor-standing urns, floral staircases, foliage walls, mantelpieces, hanging pieces and reception tables. The team has dressed Claridge's, The Ned, The Lanesborough, 10-11 Carlton House Terrace, Temple, St Paul's Cathedral, Syon Park and Kew Gardens, and Gaynes Park in Essex.
The studio has been named among Harper's Bazaar's Top 10 Wedding Florists and the Telegraph's 20 Most Creative Florists, and has appeared in Condé Nast Brides, Hello and You & Your Wedding. Waste flowers and plants go to Flower Angels, and packaging is recycled.
