For those of you who would love your Christmas dining table to look fabulous this year I'm offering a table centrepiece workshop, and then also a swag making workshop.
Both of these will include a light, festive lunch & cocktail/mulled wine or soft drinks/teas/coffees to get in you the spirit of Christmas in style!

🍂HELLO OCTOBER 🍂

Are you an Autumn soul like me? 💫

Oh how I love this month, my most favourite month during the best season of all. Every year I feel so grateful to be here to enjoy another one 🤎💛

Just feast your eyes on these rich and colourful wedding flower creations inspired by the magic of Autumn, and crafted by me at my own wedding, 3 years ago today!

With hindsight I should have drafted in a florist and stylist because I ran out of time and my dear friends were left to finish up....😂 we still laugh about the ‘chair ends’ ......

I won’t let that happen to you!

Whether it’s a stylist you need to put all those finer details together on the day while you get ready, and avoid some dodgy chair ends to laugh back on, or it’s wedding flowers you’d like to discuss, I’d love to hear from you. Especially if it’s an Autumn wedding.......just saying! 🍁

Have an amazing Tuesday and 1st day of October!

Lots of love from Soph 😘 xx

Today is National Love People Day, it asks us to lift others up through the profound power of unconditional love!
So don't hold back, get your hearty loving on folks! 🌹❤️

I'm showing my love by taking on the October Dog Walking Challenge with my little sidekick, Missy, for Dementia UK, the specialist dementia nursing charity, and would be grateful for your support.
Your donation, big or small, makes a difference, you can find my link at the top of my page.
Just £8 can cover the telephone costs for two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline.

I hope you get some love, feel loved and share some love today and every day,

Guess what? ....LOTS OF LOVE from Soph 😘

Well aren't you all an organised bunch! 😍😄🎄

I LOVE it!

I wanted to say a HUGE thank you to everyone whose booked, I look forward to meeting some new faces alongside some familiar, returning ones.

For those who are only just getting their head around Autumn approaching - which is officially next Sunday 22nd - I will add an extra wreath workshop date and a slightly different creative workshop date.

The dates will be released by newsletter on the 1st October, before I announce the dates on social media, so make sure you've subcribed so you don't miss out, and also check your junk box in case of a pesky technical divert 🙄😄

READ A BOOK DAY 📚

What a whole book? Ok, I need a day off to do this...anyone else?!!

I do love to read. I seem to have no preference of genre, I love to understand EVERYTHING I'm interested in on as deep a level as possible and as time permits.
I have such an eclectic selection of reads, from coaching, dogs, business & management, flowers and herbs, self development, military biographies and fiction and fantasy.....fairies anyone..🧚‍♀️😍
I enjoy all in equal measure.

I think the fairest way to choose a book to mention for today is to choose my most recent read, which is 'How to Style Your Brand' by , Fiona Humberstone.
As a keen stylist in every area of life, this has been an invaluable read and one I'll continue to re visit time and again, just like the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen Covey, a ggggreeattt read, and Everything I Know About Love - Dolly Alderton, The Path - Laurie Beth Jones, The Other Side of the Story - Marian Keyes .....ok ok....
...Back to Fiona, thank you for being such a huge inspiration to me this 'Summer'!

I'd love to know your fave book and author, let me know in the comments,

Happy read a book day folks 📖

Love from Sophy 😘

🌍 INTERNATIONAL DAY OF CHARITY 🌏

In 2012 the United Nations decided to nominate an annual International Day of Charity as an official day of recognition and celebration.

Today I choose to highlight the work this incredible charity do.
Initially made aware of this charity by the ultimate, and highly respected dog behavourist .glazebrook, highlighting the horrors these poor spanish hunting greyhounds are subjected to in Spain.
Not considered fit for pet purpose, or even protected to a degree by spanish law like other dog breeds (they apparently don't deserve inclusion) they are abandoned, abused and worse.
The team here at Galgos Del Sol, led by Tina Solera, make me smile, laugh and cry every day with their accounts of unwavering, relentless and incredible support of these poor souls and their rescue journeys, to a loving home and know the sweet life 💖

Thank you guys, keep doing what you do for the love of dogs AND GALGOS 😍

Happy International Charity Day

Love from Soph 😘

Eat an extra dessert day! .....who knew, and ok then!!

In case you hadn't noticed I'm obsessed with Autumn 🍂 kinda hoping you are too because one of the desserts I love rustling up to share with you at one of my Autumn workshops is a good ole, hearty Pumpkin Pie 🎃🥧
What else would it be?!

What's your favorite seasonal dessert and do you always eat an extra slice/portion anyway? I'm nosey and want to know...😆

I'll be sharing my Pumpkin Pie recipe (well, ok, someone elses recipe that I use, full credit will be given 😂) and a recipe for my favorite answer given here, in my next newsletter/update. Make sure you're signed up!

Enjoy your extra dessert/slice today, not that any of us need permission to eat a little bit extra....🙃

Love from Soph 😘

This morning’s feels 🍂🍁

Yesterday after enjoying one of those fresh, crisp, sunny mornings, indicating Autumn is on her way, I got really giddy and rearranged our dining room table 😆
I rustled this up from the garden and hedgerow and used bits and pieces I had already lying around so it didn’t cost a thing!

If you’d like to create your own table display to take home and get some inspiration for styling your own table at, I’m hosting just the workshop for you on Saturday 5th October at

Not only a workshop, it’s a hearty social event including some lovely seasonal cocktails and soft drinks, a light lunch and some pumpkin pie 🥧

I can’t explain how Autumn makes me feel, but I LOVE it, everything about it makes me feel cosy and excited and I look forward to celebrating this magical season with you soon 🍂

Please visit my website to book or contact me directly with any questions or alternative date enquiries.

Thank you and have a lovely weekend 😘
