Peppermint and Poppies – A Staffordshire Flower Farm With a Difference (Trusted Local Supplier Series)

Welcome to the first feature in my new Trusted Local Suppliers series—your go-to guide for the best venues, creatives, and wedding specialists across Staffordshire and surrounding areas. As a wedding and engagement photographer, I’m lucky enough to work with incredible local businesses, and I want to share the ones I genuinely love and trust.We’re starting with a real gem: Peppermint and Poppies.

A Flower Farm Rooted in Passion, Creativity & History

Peppermint and Poppies isn’t just a flower farm—it’s a story wrapped in blooms, history, and heart. Set within the grounds of a gorgeous old Tudor house, the farm has a charm that feels timeless the moment you arrive. The centuries-old building, with its beams, character, and warm rustic details, gives the whole place a magical atmosphere that makes the flowers growing around it feel even more special.

The farm champions slow, sustainable, seasonal growing. Each flower is nurtured with care, resulting in romantic, natural blooms full of personality—far from anything mass-produced. With eco-friendly, wildlife-conscious practices, the farm evolves beautifully throughout the year, offering new colours and textures every season.

Peppermint and Poppies has built an amazing reputation across the region, supplying flowers to some of the most stunning wedding venues, including:

• Sandon Hall – Grand, elegant and historic

• Iscoyd Park – Refined country charm on the Shropshire/Wales border

• Hanbury Wedding Barn – Rustic modern style surrounded by countryside

Seeing their blooms in these settings shows just how versatile and timeless their florals are.

The farm is also a go-to supplier for an impressive lineup of talented florists, including:

• Poppy Scout

• Elder and Wild

A Dream Location for Couples & Photographers

For anyone planning an engagement session, elopement, branding shoot, or editorial-style photoshoot, Peppermint and Poppies offers an idyllic setting. The combination of the Tudor backdrop and the ever-changing landscapes of seasonal blooms creates scenes that look straight out of a storybook.

No two sessions ever look the same—each visit brings new light, colours, and textures to work with. It’s a photographer’s dream and a beautifully personal experience for couples.
