It’s that time of year where I can no longer feel my fingers and I’m working round the clock, but I’m forever grateful for how busy I am. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at FbM HQ. If you’ve got a wreath coming your way they’re looking extra pretty this year.

We’ve had so many beautiful wreaths over the last week. Thank you to everybody who has booked on. I hope you’ve all had an amazingly relaxing start into the festive season. Sorry to those of you who I’ve missed catching on a photo although photos never really do justice. Thank you to the for providing the most gorgeous setting for us and for being fantastic hosts. We’re done for this weekend now but will return Tuesday evening. If you’ve enjoyed the sessions please do tag me in your photos, it’s always great to see your feedback. To anybody who has ‘FOMO’ we have a couple off spare places Tuesday and Wednesday evening x

It’s started … 🎄 I’m taking limited orders for door wreaths. Holler at me if you want one. There will various designs as usual or if you want to make your own we still have a few spaces available on wreath workshops being held tomorrow, Tuesday evening and Wednesday evening 🎄

Loading the van with fresh wedding florals in the midst of storm Bert early yesterday was a challenge. Slipping in the sleet carrying large table centrepieces, gusty winds snapping delphiniums and a van that became a sledge at one point were a few of them. I may have looked slightly worse for wear when I turned up 😂🥶 but thankfully the flowers were non the worse in the end .
Wising Emma and Dan the happiest of marriages… you’ve been an absolute dream to work with and I hope you both had an amazing day despite Bert’s best efforts - congratulations 🤍###x

Our first wreath making session is just a week away! We’re kicking off the festive season next Tuesday evening at 7pm and there’s still availability if you haven’t yet booked on!

We’re bringing all the festive vibes in the cosy, heated tipi at The Forest at Fence, where you can design and decorate your own Christmas wreath, completely from scratch.

We’ll include all materials and guidance, for you to relax into hand crafting your wreath along with a welcome glass of festive fizz and hot pizza! You just need to bring a pair of secateurs.

To book, head to the website and ‘book a table’ The link is in my bio.

Cost is £50 per person!

It’s been some time since I’ve posted a sympathy tribute, and so I wanted to share this large spray. Creating florals in honour of a life full of love, beauty and grace will never not be a privilege.

It’s a while since I posted any birthday florals but I love this pretty salmon and olive colour combo. Too pretty not to share. 🧡🥭🫒

Morning everyone - just thought I’d send a quick reminder as we’re now only 2 weeks away from the start of our wreath making workshops for this year. How is it mid November already 🙈. We have lots of sessions this year so do still have availability left on some dates. Dates are: 26th, 27th, 30th November and 3rd, 4th, 7th December. We will be outdoors this year in the new heated festive tipi at and we will have festive fizz along with pizza and some Christmas tunes to keep you all going. No experience required, you just need to bring a pair of secateurs and we will provide everything else! To book on just head to the website and ‘book a table’ for one of the above dates.

I feel thrilled and incredibly grateful to tell you that I have been nominated again this year for The North West Wedding Awards and now I really need your votes.
Thank you so much to absolutely all of my wonderful couples who have trusted me with your wedding florals. It’s always such a pleasure getting to know you all and to work with you on your special day.

I am in the florist category and if I have/ will have flowered your wedding in some way between 1st September 2020 up to and including 30th April 2025 I would be so grateful for your vote. It’s a very tough category; there are lots of amazing florists so every single vote really does count.

’m back on the squares tonight, after a quieter week on Insta and FB. For me a short break from social media is a must now and again if I’m honest. I’m feeling very excited though, the next couple of months in my diary are still pretty manic and I’m excited for the Autumn and Winter weddings, wedding fayres and workshops running into December. See how I avoided the ‘C’ word there … 💜 for Emma ###

All the happiness in these fabulous confetti shots. Wedding season is slowing down now but there’s still a handful of beauties coming up before the end of this year. I’ve a free weekend so I’m spending it wisely and I’m out out with the girlies!
Whatever you’re doing, have fun!

Beautiful colours of Autumn brought the outside into Eaves Hall yesterday for the wedding of Jade and Danny. Such a gorgeous colour palette for a beautiful bride. Congratulations to you both 🍁🍂🧡✨

Autumn florals decorating the The Lawrence Hotel, at Padiham yesterday. I decided to avoid bright orange and steer more to rich browns/wines and a pop of muted orange as I love the tones.
Guest tables don’t always need large arrangements and this pretty overhead suspension worked really well with a small coordinated vase arrangement in the table centre. It was a busy busy busy open day, with lots of lovely suppliers and great to speak to lots of excited couples at the planning stage of their wedding 🍁🍂
