We are deeply honoured to have been part of one of the most talked-about weddings of 2021 — the quintessentially English celebration of India Hicks and David Flint Wood, as featured in Brides Magazine.
India's bridal bouquet was created by Pulbrook & Gould — the same florist who arranged her mother's wedding bouquet back in 1960. Over 60 years between those two bouquets, and the same hands-on commitment to beauty and craftsmanship running through both.
A Quintessentially English Wedding
After postponing twice due to the pandemic, India and David finally married on Friday 10 September 2021, in India's home village in Oxfordshire. The day was everything they'd hoped for: intimate, unpretentious, and deeply English. The ceremony took place at Brightwell Baldwin Parish Church, followed by a casual lunch reception at the Lord Nelson Pub just across the street.
"We wanted it to feel very English countryside, and totally unpretentious," India said — and the flowers reflected exactly that spirit.
As the goddaughter of Prince Charles and granddaughter of Lord Louis Mountbatten, India has attended some of the most celebrated weddings in history — including serving as Princess Diana's bridesmaid at the age of 13. Her own wedding, by contrast, was a beautifully personal affair, and we were privileged to play a part in it.
The Flowers That Connect Generations
There is something profoundly moving about creating a bouquet for a bride whose mother's bouquet you also made — more than six decades earlier. It speaks to the enduring nature of what we do at Pulbrook & Gould: flowers that become part of a family's story, marking moments that are carried forward through generations.
It's a legacy we take seriously, and one that continues to inspire everything we create.
