The Copper Cacti

I had the absolute privilege of being asked by the wonderful to create a surprise fairy garden for her daughters birthday party, and god did it come out exactly how I imagined it to! 🧚

So much moss, wax flowers and grasses to create the look of the grounds surrounding a babbling brook where fairies and pixies may gather, it was one of the installs that leaves me itching to create more like it!

It’s not just a business transaction…

For me, it’s about the whole experience.

I want to build a relationship with you and your fiancé, ensuring that I 100% get your vision and personality, and can weave this into the designs that I create for you.

This is why I set up WhatsApp chats with all my couples. I am a super visual person and it helps me a lot having that direct contact with you to ask and answer questions and offer advice.

Others may find this too much, but for me personally, it’s perfect. My couples aren’t another number.

I know with it been hotter than the sun today and only August the thought of is probably the last on everyone’s minds, however, this is the ONLY workshop I will be doing this year so spaces are limited!

I am so thrilled to be partnering with for a wonderful day hosting for you all! Swipe ➡️ to see the poster!

Lots of different foliages and decor to be able to adorn your wreaths, and of course, it wouldn’t be a workshop with a few being available too 😜

To book your slot it is full payment on booking (non refundable) and bookings can be made via email or DM 🎅🏼 🎄

Today is a bit of a special and poignant day in TCC journey.

I know this may not be a big deal to many, but to me, this is everything.

To be able to grow my business to the level that I have had taken a lot of hard work, many sleepless hours and dreams that I never thought would come true. And here I am, stood in front of my own van (minus branding which will come soon!) that I own and feeling pretty damn proud of myself.

Of course, this isn’t without the loving support of my family, friends, and my dream team husband and son. But most importantly, every single one of you who has chosen me past present and future to create incredibly unique florals for your special days.

Now I’m off to eat some pasta and fill it up with petrol as let’s face it, without fuel neither of us will get far! 🚐

August…
Is kicking my arse!
School holidays, wedding season, day job, life! It’s ALOT!
So while I may not be on the socials as much as I would like, I’m still here, cracking on behind the scenes. I have 2 weddings next week, then 2 weddings, a party & 3 days of freelancing the week after.
BUT this weekend I will have something super special to share with you all, and it’s because of all of you that it’s been able to happen ❤️

Incorporating colour into your day couldn’t be easier! That’s what we do best as florists/floral designers.

Don’t be afraid to lets the colours do the talking 😜

As the wise man Jay Z once said, “Allow me to re-introduce myself…”

I have some new followers and new potential marrying couples (as well as newly booked babies 👋) and with these gorgeous new headshots by how can I not take this moment to say heeeeeey!

So, hi!
I’m Chloë 🩷
Want wild, fun and quirky wedding floral designs?
Let’s chat 😜

Over the next of couple of months I have decided to sit down and finally put onto paper (then a table) some ideas I have had brewing for table scapes and colour schemes. I’m so excited to finally put into practice all the sketches and scrambled notes, and maybe even put together almost a mini brochure of different ideas for my brides and/or grooms / main character couples.

What do you want to see? What colour tones make your heart sing?

27/06/2024

Receiving photos from my couples is honestly one of the BEST moments for me! I love seeing how much they enjoyed their day and loved what I created for them.

This joyous photos from Christine and Paul’s day at showed off their quirky style and happy personalities perfectly! (And I spy 😉)
Plus, it’s not everyday you get to do a buttonhole for a toy shark (and absolutely rocked it!)

Such gorgeous photos by the talented

I have been so freaking lucky to be involved in some of the most amazing photo shoots this year! I have possibly a couple more later this year after the season but these all deserve a space on the grid ❤️

Thinking of ways to elevate your wedding decor? I have a HUGE range of different ideas and displays available for us to incorporate into your day.
Everything from tea crates, to Demi johns, to plinths and stands, and of course, disco balls! 🪩
There is such a variety of different options, and the greatest part of all? They can all be used as dual use! Let’s move them around the venue for different areas!

Simone & Matthew ♥️

Last weekend I had the absolute pleasure of creating a bridal bouquet and bridesmaid bouquets for their wedding at and I had the best time creating these show stopping displays!

Like the plonker I am I forgot to take any of the bridesmaid bouquets which were a mix of red, green, orange, pink and blue gypsophilia which I sprayed by hand with flower-safe spray and looked INSANE!!!

And this bouquet? Well, the lime green orchids made it for me!

Fancy making your own centrepieces for your wedding day?

This is the perfect excuse to get together with friends, crack open the champagne and have a little DIY party for your centrepieces!

If you have a venue, I bring the goods! And I can also deliver them for you on your wedding day keeping them safe and secure before the day.

Feel free to DM for more info!

The great thing about backdrops is that they have a dual purpose.
A perfect backdrop for your ceremony or wedding breakfast, but also another fantastic photograph spot for all your guests to enjoy!
These are just a few of the gorgeous displays I’ve been able to do, and I am currently making a couple of new stands for upcoming weddings which will also be available to hire like my wooden arch frame and macrame.

Please don’t say I could make that myself for cheaper…

If I had a pound for every very time I have heard or had people stand in front of my stand at fairs and events and say “I could make that for cheaper” I would be able to buy my family a semi-nice meal at a semi nice restaurant 😂

Now, I have absolutely no doubt that you could make what I do yourself, but what are the ramifications of you saying that to or in front of a small business owner?

When we attend fairs, events and even your wedding day, we have taken time away from our family and friends to work to keep our businesses (which we love and adore, otherwise we wouldn’t do it!) thriving and meeting new people to help. Hearing this, or having it actually said to us… it can be quite a kick in the teeth.

We work hard to develop our products and style, making us unique and damn proud of what we do. Plus it is our livelihood you are commenting on! We do need to make a profit.

I am all for a bit of DIY, in fact I encourage it! But if you are, there is absolutely no need to make these comments. We have years of experience in what we do so you aren’t just paying for the finished product. You are paying for our expertise, our knowledge, our time.

Plus we bloody love what we do. It’s more than a job, it’s a passion and a creative outlet ♥️

Your day means making it YOUR DAY!

You don’t have to conform to other people interpretations of what you should “have” on your big day.

Do the weird thing, put your personality into your day, show off your hobbies and the things that connect you as a couple. Make it about YOU!

How do you correctly hold a bouquet?

The answer is simple…

At your bits, not your t**s!
(The other saying is P***s not B***s but you get the gist 😜)

Starting the wedding season with a bang 💥

I have been so bloody lucky to create some incredible displays for my March and April couples.

Swipes ➡️ to see these gorgeous creatures (minus Katie and Liam from last weekend but I’ll be showing their faces as soon as possible 😉)

Wanna know where to find me?

Wanna have a chat about fun and unique floral designs for your big day?

Then this is the post for you!

I have a few wedding fairs/open days coming up right until the end of May when I have to stop for a bit to focus on the summer madness, so these are you opportunities to come and meet me, find out about what I do and decide if I am the right supplier for you!!!

16/04/2024

The key thing I like to let people know about TCC is that we are all about the sustainability. That’s why using succulents, cacti and airplants is second nature to me! They last forever (if you look after them) but also it’s a unique and fun way to keep an element of your special day forever!!!

With this, it is important to make sure that we do what we can for our planet 🌍 so that is why I avoid floral foam at all costs! The micro plastics take tens if not HUNDREDS of years to breakdown… would you put something like that inside your body? 👎

So I use things that are either biodegradable or reusable, whether this is .wool.international blocks or good old chicken wire sausages filled with moss!

Sometimes, being able to do something for someone else who really needs a spark of light in a dark moment can change your whole day, your whole week. Even your whole life.

This year is my 10th year in remission for cancer. That alone is absolutely wild to me, as I remember the conversation with the doctor like it was yesterday. All the appointments, all the drugs, the operation that left me scarred on the skin as well as internally. There isn’t a day that goes by that I’m reminded of how fu***ng lucky I am to have been given a second chance and to continue with my life.

Last week, I had a call from a lovely lady who was urgently organising a last minute wedding for her friend who sadly, due to the same disease which plagued me, was bringing her wedding forward to be able to marry the love of her life. It felt like fate in a way that during a pivotal year in my remission that this call came in, so it was an instant yes from me.

Lauren, it was the biggest joy and pleasure to make your bouquet and buttonholes for you, and I hope you had the most magical day that you deserved 💓

My most popular centrepieces (and, let’s face it, kinda my trademark and what I’m best known for…) are my centrepieces, filled to the brim with gorgeous succulents, cacti and airplants, and of course fairy lights for a bit of drama 🌟

The great thing about these centrepieces is the sustainability. They will last for years and is a great way to give your favourite people a piece of your wedding that they can enjoy (but I always say, you can also keep them all for yourself and I won’t judge 😉)

Available in various sizes and shapes, and in black, gold or copper they can go with all decor no matter your colour scheme!

As you can tell, the large Prism and large Ball shape ones are 100% the favourites amongst most of the brides and/or grooms!

Dan & George ❤️

I don’t even know where to begin to be honest! This was such an incredible, beautiful and fun wedding set up to be a part of!

To keep in the feels with we kept with classic black and white, lots of foliage and of course, as many as I could realistically throw at the decor 😂

The black frames I honestly think were my fave. They were so stylish but still had that quirky vibe that I strive to give.

Lots of little hints to their favourite things including Disney and (the table plan was just brilliant!)

I’m kinda sad it’s over. I always miss my couples once the day is done and and you hold such a special place in my heart!

Congratulations to you both, and thank you for entrusting me in creating such amazing decor for your big day ❤️
