FLOWERS UNITED / More colour drench from K & B’s wedding. Here’s an artist’s strop: I worked really hard designing EVERY element of these flowers from colour gradations to shapes, textures etc, so it was amusing when someone spotted the unusual Chinese lanterns within the designs and said delightedly, “Oh, these really make it!” What about all the other flowers and foliage? 😂 It’s always a compliment so I take it as such but feel sorry for the other inhabitants of my work; floristry is a team game. 🤷‍♀️

CULTURAL CURATION / An honour to design something special for this recent wedding! K is Vietnamese American so wanted to honour the country’s traditional wedding red and gold in hers and B’s flowers, with a touch of blue to represent the turquoise stone of the bolo tie B wore. I included a floral nod to traditional Vietnamese silk lanterns by adding skeleton Chinese lantern pods. I spotted them growing semi-wild on a walk, gathered them in and knew they’d have their moment in this wedding.

WORDSWORTH? / Sometimes I struggle with what to say on social media. I have tons of beautiful images of my work but often the words to accompany them just fail me. I don’t know why. Anyone else relate?

Today it’s March, so the image is of some March flowers (Pink Charm daffs), taken in March. That’s all the profundity and originality you’re gonna get. Normal service will be resumed whenever creativity comes back from its long holiday.

NOTHING DOING / All you need is… not very much. A Norwegian tea light holder, a Japanese kenzan, an English stem of Chinese Lantern.

I am reminded of Ellsworth Kelly’s spartan line drawings of plants.

Simplicity.

Did you know I also write for a living from time to time? This is a piece I designed and made for The Flower Arranger Magazine Spring 2024 issue. It’s a step-by-step on how to make a flower arranging frog (don’t ask me why they’re called that) out of air-drying clay. If you want to know how, the Spring issue is out now.

Every season I design, make and photograph a simple flower-based craft project for the magazine. It’s a great challenge to come up with something different and seasonal each time. I’m so pleased to have been asked, as it fits well with my ethos of seasonality.

BATHED IN GLOOM / These gloriously dark shots were not actually taken in February, but in July. They feel like Feb, though, so I thought them worth a share now. I bought an armful of dahlias and friends from FOR MYSELF, for once, and had a play in a beautiful matte West German vase from . I was experimenting with the new paint in our bathroom as a background colour. I think it’s quite successful, don’t you? I had to get in the bath to take the shot, then crop out the radiator and sink unit, but still. You’d never know. Until I told you.

TONE DEAF? / I've decided you all NEED 😂 to see more of me on here, so here's a godawful 'quirky fact' about me. I like to try and match my hat and scarf in winter. Is that weird? I think it might be, because my friends often say, "Ooh, you look very...... co-ordinated," with a pause that's a bit too long for my liking. I've never been able to work out if it's a compliment or a veiled insult because... matchy? Anyway, I can't afford to match my glasses too because I'm not Elton John. Even if I could, I think that's overkill territory.⁠ ⁠

IT'S A SPRING THING / Sometimes the fates align to give you the coolest bride, at the most beautiful private venue, when nature blooms at just the right time. Georgie was the modern bride personified in a minimalist jumpsuit and statement veil, while the ever-so-obliging wisteria opened to perfection for the big day at the end of April. She finished off her look with a small posy of British blooms. Among British seasonal blooms, it included foraged lilac and cow parsley, along with bluebells picked from her parents' own garden where the couple got married.

TEXTURE MESSAGE / In winter, at a time when British flowers might seem scare (actually they're not) you can add loads of interest to a seasonal bouquet with textures. This dramatic cascade bouquet is full of different tones of green and brown; textures that are fluffy, flowing, crispy, spiky; and just two variegated amaryllis in the centre. All the rest is foliage.

WINTER WARMER / Weddings and events in the coldest months don't have to be traditional icy white or Christmas themed. This was my stand from a November wedding fair. Yes, November! I placed bright pops of pink from spindleberry and nerines against the more muted autumnal tones of beige, copper and peach. Highlights of pure white lift the whole thing. And - bar the roses - it was all British-grown or foraged by me.⁠

WHAT A LOAD OF BRIGHT! / If you're a brave enough couple to have a wedding in January*, then you're probably brave enough to go for colour. This bouquet is from an October wedding but you could achieve the same look with January flowers: tulips, narcissi, ranunculus etc. Add some , as I did here, and you'll get all the textural loveliness you could wish for.⁠

NEVER SAY NEVER / *Long post* Today I got a 4th new client via the same contact, all because I said yes to something a few years ago. And then kept on saying yes when they asked me to do more. For those who don’t know, as well as floristry and vintage selling, I also write for a living from time to time, having been a magazine journalist in a former life.

A few years ago I was contacted out of the blue by a freelancer who wanted to use one of my Instagram images to illustrate a piece she was writing for . I said yes. I also said that I’d be happy to write it for her as well, having been a journalist before etc, etc, in return for nothing more than a pic credit and a mention of my website. She said yes too, so I wrote it. She was really happy.

Everything went quiet for a couple of years then, out of the blue, she contacted me again saying she needed someone with flower and plant knowledge to work on something for a client she was freelancing for. We’ll call them Client 1. I said yes again. That work led to work for their sister company, Client 2, as well. Gradually my work for both companies expanded as they realised my value.

One day my contact got a new job and recommended me to take her place as a regular contributor at Flower Arranger Magazine. The editor asked if I was interested. I said yes. Client 3.

Now, today, I have been asked to work for another client of the PR company who works for Clients 1 & 2. Guess what I said? Client 4. Always say yes to everything. Always.

MODERN LOVE / How fresh and contemporary does my bride Rachel look in this image by ? Everything about her and her now-husband Tom was the epitome of simple, minimal style. As such, I’m proud to have been asked to be a floral part of their equally stylish wedding .

THE LIGHT FANTASTIC / When I’m busy making up roomfuls of wedding arrangements, sometimes I hardly have time to take photos of my work. I grabbed this hurried shot in my studio with the blinds down to keep the flowers cool. The resulting backlight is accidentally quite ethereal and other-worldly, I think. I feel that imps wearing pointy, green hats might appear out of the fronds at any moment and start playing pan pipes and dancing little people jigs. A busy wedding season makes you go a bit crazy like that. I think I need a day off.

IT’S A MUG’S GAME / This unassuming mud-brown mug is very special to me. It was made by my granny, Rosamund, who was an artist and potter of sorts and also loved her garden. My business is named after her.

Against my better judgement, on Saturday I hired it out to my latest wedding couple with these flowers in it. They didn’t know its significance, as I didn’t want to freak them out. Although it is precious to me, I felt justified letting them use it as the bride’s father, is also a potter. It felt right. Now, like a potter’s wheel, it has come back round to me again, still perfectly imperfect, when he returned it to me for his daughter, along with all the other vases. Each wedding is never just another job, as far as I’m concerned. Every thought and detail matters.

SEE THE LIGHT / What a beautiful honour and privilege to make flowers for such a stylish couple! Yesterday was all about airy, white, cloud-like blooms in a nigella blue seaside sky, styled in vintage studio pottery vases with driftwood, sea glass and seashells. All set off by the cool, minimalist lines and light-filled space of the RIBA award-winning in Edgington.

OVER IN THE MEADOW / Observe my rubbish video of a beautiful all-British bouquet for last weekend’s bride. She requested simply, ‘natural, wild, summer meadow style’. The foraged oats, scabious and dancing violet larkspur really help give this vibe. Don’t tell anyone but I don’t think peonies or roses grow in meadows! It doesn’t matter, this is a wedding ‘meadow’. An altogether different look, I think you’ll find. Anyway the couple loved it, therefore it’s correct.
