For lovely Em,
What a joy it was to design something that not only fit your gorgeous brief, but perfectly matched your bright, bubbly personality.
The cerise pinks, canary yellows, and electric blues created the perfect, vibrant, joyful burst of color, while the delicate anemones, double tulips, and ruffled ranunculus added beautiful, playful texture and depth.
It was an absolute pleasure bringing your vision to life, and I’m so happy to have been a small part of your special day at @lancrigg_grasmere.
Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness @emyoll and @dr_coug 💕
A spring bridal bouquet—but with a twist ✨
Rich burgundy, vivid purple, and golden ochre come together in a dance of ruffled ranunculus, delicate anemones, and textured parrot tulips. A celebration of depth, movement, and unexpected beauty.

Would you dare to go bold with your bridal blooms?

Yesterday, I headed over to York to @hutton_wandesley_stables (which just so happens to be the most gorgeous wedding venue) for an advanced reels course with the wonderful @rebuildagram
Not only was it a great opportunity to think carefully about my business goals/social media strategy (and to brush up on my IG skills), it ended up being a fantastic opportunity to meet lots of lovely female founded business owners. Some from a similar ‘field’ to me - @jannelford 🌸 and some from a very different line of work @loladesignltd @helen_mcque_acupuncture @thesoniarutter @hottoddi_
Thanks once again for a wonderful day @rebuildagram and a huge thanks to @sashinthegarden for being such a wonderful and welcoming host 🫶🏻🌸
Such an exciting year ahead - I can’t wait to share it with you all!

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 ✂️🩸✋🏻🙈

🌿 Embracing Moss Magic! 🌿 Did you know that moss is an eco-friendly alternative to floral foam? It’s not only beautiful but also sustainable.
Made entirely of biodegradable materials (nothing more than wood, moss, twine, flowers and foliage), this entire floral spray can be composted, meaning you can sleep easy knowing that your florals aren’t going to leave behind unnecessary waste and microplastics.
If you want beautiful flowers, that don’t cost the earth, you’ve found your gal 🌱
