The Flower Guild arranges flowers in church throughout the year, except during the penitential seasons of Advent and Lent. Membership is open to all those interested in arranging or helping with flowers in church.
Flower Festival 2023
Aims of the Flower Guild
To provide things of beauty for the appreciation of the parish in support of worship
To involve members in church life
To help and encourage members to develop and use their artistic talents in arranging flowers
To be supportive of each other as a group and to provide social contact through a common interest
To complement and enhance the church’s architecture and liturgical vestments, to reflect the appropriate seasonal colour
Activities
Large festivals, Advent, Christmas, Easter and Harvest require many arrangers and helpers and you will always be made welcome to try something, however basic. Help with preparation the day before is always useful and there will be someone to give you guidance whatever level of experience.
Guild Workshops
There is a Christmas Flower Workshop in December for members and friends, and an occasional Wedding workshop prior to a wedding where we have been asked to provide the flowers. Other workshops for Spring and specific designs are also arranged. These will be advertised in the Church weekly notices, and to members by email/telephone.
Anyone who would like to arrange with us, from complete beginners to those more experienced will be most welcome.
For further details, please contact Sue Hedley (Chairman) on 07831 149832 or email: suehedley@jag.org.uk
Wedding Flowers
All Saints Flower Guild provides the main flower arrangements for all weddings which take place here if you choose to have any flowers.
Special Flowers are arranged for weddings for additional fees. This will go towards the cost of purchase of the Main arrangement; a second arrangement in the Porch and an additional twelve pew ends. The wedding couple may then be able to select colours of flowers with guidance from our Wedding Advisor. Arrangers give their time free of charge.
