Angel Like Flowers, established by Angel Skillman, is now in its fifth successful year and has become a regular feature of many Jacaranda weddings thanks to our mutual affiliation with such wonderful wedding venues as Farbridge, The Walled Garden and Bartholomew Barn.
What we particularly like about Angel Like Flowers is that they have their own cutting garden at Grittenham Barn in Tillington. What this means is that much of their produce is home-grown and raised from seed, instead of being imported, meaning that you will know exactly where your wedding flowers come from.
“We grow mainly annuals,” Angel explained. “For example sweet peas, cornflowers, cosmos and snapdragons, but also some foliage like honeysuckle and trailing jasmine. It’s so satisfying and rewarding to raise plants from seeds and to then be able to use the flowers in our weddings is a real bonus. Our flowers have not travelled and so we can decide to pick them when they are at their best.”
Following a lifetime’s passion for horticulture, Angel decided to take a professional floristry course in London, which involved not only flower arranging but also elements of business management including buying and selling techniques. After a few years of building up experience working with other florists, Angel broke out on her own and began her business by specialising in weddings.
We have experienced Angel’s passion for beautiful blooms firsthand and know not only how fastidious her attention to detail is thanks to her policy of only doing one wedding per day, but also how lovingly prepared every floral set up from the Angel Like workshop is.
