Weddings and Events
Our History
Sally Hambleton's work has been proclaimed as a tribute to good taste, but her journey to becoming a businesswoman with a team of 12 people and four premises in Cruz del Rayo, which has been her area of Madrid all her life, has a lot of history and a lot of effort behind it.
Sally Hambleton became a brand that grew under the guidance of its creative director who, once her team of florists was established, was able to dedicate herself fully to the most creative part of her firm, to public relations, without ever ceasing to supervise all the minor processes of her business.
Word of her talent quickly spread, and her work was featured at the engagement party of the now Queen of Spain, the Prado Museum's expansion gala dinner, and the numerous barbecues hosted by the Beckhams during their time in Madrid. Brands such as Bollinger, Jimmy Choo, Penhaligon's, Elizabeth Arden, Tous, Cardhu, Ikea, Clarins, Dior, Jo Malone, Adolfo Domínguez, Loewe, Yves Saint Laurent, Hermès, Chanel, and Tiffany & Co. didn't hesitate to enlist Gabriel Lobo's floral artistry for their major events, and brides from all over the world—Spain, England, the United Arab Emirates, New Zealand, and more—expressed their vows in settings created by Sally and her team.
He doesn't hide the secret of his success: a family that has supported him blindly for many years; a lot of hard work; and constant training.
At Sally Hambleton, we are a team of twelve, including our senior florists, and we collaborate with European florists to bring our events to life. Although our office is in Madrid, we are available to travel anywhere in the world to create the perfect setting for your wedding or event.
A different approach
At Sally Hambleton, there are no standard proposals. The designs we create are as unique as those who entrust us with something so special. We design hand in hand with the client to ensure their big day meets, and even exceeds, their expectations.
Every client, every wedding, and every event is unique. Some design processes are simpler than others. At Sally Hambleton, we'll put all our years of experience at your service, always striving to innovate and surpass expectations.
We begin by scheduling a preliminary meeting to outline the event, allowing us to get to know each other, put your expectations in writing, and explore different options. We handle not only the floral arrangements but also the contracting and management of all parties involved, from catering and lighting to the photographer, and even provide guidance in selecting a venue if needed.
After the initial consultation, we assess your needs and provide a preliminary estimate, which is subject to modifications by the client. We then schedule a date closer to the event to showcase the decor in our studio, either in person or online if the client is unable to attend. During this demonstration, you will see a small-scale rendering of the tables, cutlery, linens, floral arrangements, etc., and we will adjust and revise the estimate if necessary.
We'll be working closely with you as you approach the big day, sharing in your excitement and any nerves you might have. We'll be available from the office at all times to answer any questions you may have and to give you peace of mind that everything will be a success.

Book an appointment
To provide you with the best possible service, it's essential to schedule an appointment with us to discuss your bridal bouquet, flower crown, wedding, or other event. It's important that our events team is available that day, with all materials prepared, that there are no other meetings scheduled, and that our office is ready. This appointment costs €45, which will be deducted from your final invoice. All our proposals are personalized, and no two are exactly alike. We dedicate significant time to speaking with our clients and designing a proposal that perfectly matches their needs.
