“Tanacetum”, a member of the Daisy family.

It’s such a cheerful, summery flower and brings back childhood memories of long, carefree summers making Daisy chains…. 💛

🌸 HYDRANGEA 🌸
🌸£5 per stem🌸

I’ve got these gorgeous dusky pink Hydrangeas available at the moment for just £5 per stem.

Hydrangea stems are such good value - they not only look stunning on their own in a vase, they last for weeks and also can be dried and enjoyed for months.

Message me if you’d like one or several. I’m sure they’ll be popular so be quick!

It’s just mesmerising watching a Peony gradually open up and bloom…I could look at them all day.

I love these white ones and their name - they’re called “Bridal Shower” 🤍

Pretty vase arrangement with Delphinium, Hydrangea and fresh Peonies, they will look beautiful when they bloom 💕🌸

How lovely are these photos by of Jennifer and Derek’s wedding 💍🩷

Delphinium 💜

This gorgeous, quintessential summer flower adds height and form to any design. It’s beautiful in bridal bouquets and creates impact in venue flowers. I wish I could grow them like this!

Jen’s pretty, pastel wedding bouquet with blush pink and ivory Roses, spray Roses, lilac Delphinium, Veronica, Waxflower and Lisianthus.

With deepest sympathy…..

Sometimes there are just no words that can fully convey heart felt sympathy, and only flowers help to bridge that gap….

Tied sheaf made with white Avalanche Roses, Antirrhinum, Veronica, Lisianthus and Bupleurum.

Just can’t get over these Anemones……..they start in bud as blush pink, then as they open they fade to white. Love them.

Ranunculus

This is one of my favourite spring flowers, and lots of yours too going by comments on my competition entries!

It’s delicate, paper thin petals are multi layered and it’s related to the humble buttercup.

It comes in lots of gorgeous colours, I love the salmon shade of this one and it will soften to a subtle peach as it matures.

Apparently its meaning is “you are charming” - indeed it is!

Happy Christmas Eve!

It’s been a busy few weeks, but I’ve finally got round to making something just for me. I loved making this natural, woodland style long arrangement using just chicken wire. Just need to add more candles and it’ll be perfect.

2023 has been another difficult year, but the flowers have got me through, I can’t help but feel positivity from working with them.

Wishing everyone a peaceful and healthy Christmas and New Year, and thanks again to all my wonderful customers for your support and for all your lovely orders.

I was honoured to make this double ended spray recently, for a dearly loved Mum, Granny and Great Granny. I used an abundance of pink and white flowers, including beautiful pink Mondial Roses and Mayra’s Bridal Garden Roses. I know how difficult it is arranging a funeral, so I will gently guide you through the process of choosing flowers to say goodbye to a loved one, and be there to help every step of the way.

Hello November. What better way is there to welcome in November than with a fresh Autumn door wreath 🍁🌿🍂

Green and white…..understated elegance

Large vase arrangement made for a recent memorial with Hydrangea and Delphinium. The family asked for blue and white as the gentleman was a Spurs fan 💙

A sea of flowers! I love seeing all the orders together like this - such a mixture of colours and textures.

Lots of beautiful tulips and spring flowers all ready for the weekend. I can’t wait to start creating with them!

With Valentine’s Day approaching it’s made me think of weddings and reminded me of Liz and Lee’s beautiful, Autumnal November wedding. I loved creating the flowers for their special day and it’s wonderful to see the professional photos by the talented Sophie Oldhamstead Photography who has captured them perfectly. 📸 Sophie Oldhamstead Photography Venue - The Reid Rooms

I’ve got this one off bouquet for sale with beautiful lavender Scabious, white Tulips, lemon Stocks, Ammi and Eucalytpus. Contact me if you’d like it. £30.

It’s the 1st December and so that means it’s wreath season! Preparation is in full swing and the cabin smells beautifully of pine and eucalyptus. My hands already aren’t looking too good though - a price I’ll happily pay for having such a lovely job 🥰

I was asked to make these Spring jar table arrangements for a memorial of a lovely lady. The family wanted shades of purple, lilac and cream as they were her favourite coloured flowers 💜
