A lovely wreath workshop, in a gorgeous Dales village, with a gorgeously, bubbly bunch of ladies 🎄
One of the things I absolutely love about workshops, is standing back and watching you take a few hours for yourself, switching off from the world around you and getting immersed in a new skill.
But what I love even more, is seeing a group of strangers come together, share stories and put the world to rights!
A bit of Christmas flower (or perhaps foliage?) therapy… in more ways than one!
Thank you so much @oldsawmillcafe for having us!
Hope to be back next year 😊

🌸 Let’s Talk Pinterest Florals & Budgets 🌸
I know we all love scrolling through Pinterest and getting lost in jaw-dropping wedding florals. But I want to share a little florist-to-friend truth with you: many of those Pinterest-perfect arrangements come from show-stopping weddings with equally show-stopping budgets, or styled shoots designed purely for the camera.
I’m all for using Pinterest as a source of inspiration—it’s an incredible tool for discovering what you love. But when it comes to your own special day, it’s important to remember that what you see online often involves extravagant budgets that aren’t always realistic for every couple.
Here’s the good news: you don’t need a sky-high budget to create something just as beautiful and uniquely you. What’s most important is to focus on what you love about the florals you see—whether it’s the color palette, the types of blooms, the overall vibe—and then chat with your florist about how we can bring that essence to life in a way that fits your budget.
Your wedding flowers should be a reflection of your style, your story, and your celebration.
Let’s work together to create something magical that works for you—not just for Pinterest! ✨💐

This time last week, I met with a lovely family for a funeral consultation. I’m quite an emotional person anyway, but this particular consultation really touched me and once they left, I began recording what was supposed to be a tiny snippet for my Instagram story, but once I started, it seemed I had a little bit more to say on the matter, so I thought I’d create a reel instead.

There’s not much that could’ve been added to this gorgeous outdoor ceremony space at @hobbit.hill to make it any more beautiful, but this broken arch, combined with wooden lanterns and a natural rug from @emmajaneevents, and the most gorgeous welcome sign from Jenny at @northernink.uk, really did add the finishing touches for last weeks gorgeous styled shoot.
I cannot wait to share the many gorgeous images from @emiliemay.photo ✨

First up on this week’s mini tour of Cumbrian flower farms is Sophie at @north_star_botanicals
Based just off junction 36, Sophie is quite literally ‘just down the road’ from me, with it taking me around 12 minutes to travel the 4 miles to her farm.
Last week, she very kindly allowed myself and Rachel from @tallulahroseflowerschool into her farm, to take a good look around and let us go wild cutting - which I’m certain she won’t be allowing me to do again ✂️🩸✋🏻🙈
