⭐️Thank you for all the wedding enquiries coming through at the moment ⭐️

It felt right to share these romantic pictures of my lovely bride and groom on their wedding day last May. All the romance, all the subtle pink tones and stunning church arrangements. That arch at the front of the church ended up being so delicate and so beautiful ❤️

I have all the love for working with fabulous people like these two on their wedding journey!

I will choose the blooms I think you will love and I will put my heart and soul into every wedding I have the pleasure of being involved in. ❤️

My ‘pinch myself’ moment last week.

What a start to the summer, creating beautiful flowers in the sunshine with the iconic St Paul’s cathedral as my backdrop. Bringing the countryside vibes to my favourite London town - I absolutely loved this job as I think you can tell!

So grateful for for capturing me in my element, thanks so much for your amazing work 🤩

👑Happy Coronation bank holiday weekend! 👑

Another piece of history was made yesterday in Britain as King Charles III was crowned at Westminster Abbey.
I loved the choice to decorate with British blooms, reflecting our beautiful countryside and championing the work of fantastic growers in our country!

So I thought I’d leave you a little picture of some blooms, not quite red, white and blue, but the Delphinium is said to be our new King’s favourite flower and it’s certainly one of mine too! Especially blue Delphiniums like these plus this rose is called Westminster! 💫

Thanks to the fabulous for capturing these flowers on my recent brand shoot.

Hello Friday! Had a few new followers so here’s a little introduction to me.

5 random facts:

🪩Strictly Come Dancing joy gets me through the winter months

☀️I love Spring & Summer - light, warm, long summer evenings are my idea of heaven.

🏃‍♀️Netball & exercise classes bring me happiness.

🇩🇪I speak German (not so fluent now though!) I studied it at Uni and used to work on a European project. I love learning languages.

🌹Roses are my must-have flower (always natural in colour and scented preferably) & blue hydrangeas remind me of my precious Nan and so hold a special place in my heart.

Hope you’re all having a good Saturday night 💜 I’ve just received these professional shots of a wedding I flowered before Christmas. I can’t tell you how grateful I am to be sent pictures like these.

When we install flowers we imagine how they will look next to the important people of the day and framing the special moments. Seeing how it all came together in pictures is worth so so much. Magical in fact ✨

Thanks from the bottom of my heart for sending your wedding pictures and sharing your special day with me Alison & Steve.

⭐️I flowered the iconic London Tower Bridge with my amazing team of helpers plus the love and support of my family and friends!⭐️

🤩Did I ever think I would say those words? No!
💭Did I even dream that would be a reality? No!
💜BUT as soon as I got asked to do it, I said YES immmediately, (even when I felt the fear!).
I love embracing challenges life brings me, especially floral ones🌸

I worked with the wonderful Simona at EXANTE to bring to life a vision of turning the fabulous 42 metre high walkways at Tower Bridge from a tourist day attraction, into a night time chic, classy and striking Autumn wonderland, setting an atmosphere to enhance their end of year celebration! 🎉
And when a superb award winning landscape designer who did this year’s Chelsea Flower Show for EXANTE tells you ‘the flowers were stunning!’ Well, that was just the cherry on the cake! 💜

👀 Look out for a week of posting my content from this amazing event - I coudn’t say eveything I want to in just one post or reel - it deserves a full week of focus 😂 stay with me this week if you want to see and hear more as I reflect on a special evening! 💜

⭐️ Huge Thank You to for the amazing images - these had to be put first on my grid!

Thank you to our Queen for your service to us, your resilience, strength and consistency.
We laid some homegrown flowers yesterday afternoon at Windsor castle in quiet reflection on a tremendous life lived. A moment in history. A sight of a sea of flowers.
Rest in peace x

🤍Last week I had the honour of flowering not only 1, but 2 beautiful weddings at The Bingham Riverhouse in Richmond upon Thames. It was the hottest few days of flowering weddings in my floristry career! The elements are just one factor that affect our work, but the main thing is that we make adjustments to protect our precious blooms! 🌸

To ensure that our flowers are at their best when they get to our wonderful couples, we have to stay ahead of the game in terms of the weather, fluctuating prices due to flower market conditions, securing people to help and arranging flowers and hardware orders from multiple suppliers. So much work goes in before we even get to the wedding or event venue! 💫

That's why there is no better feeling than walking away from a wedding knowing that all our planning paid off, that the arrangements looked beautiful and most of all that our couple were happy. 😊

Last week I am so delighted that both my lovely couples were happy.
I have so much gratitude to my wonderful family, friends and amazing flowery helpers for supporting me throughout and working alongside me to deliver the flowery dream!

I've got so many pictures to post, so look out over the next few weeks for a complete download! 💕

Hello Summer, is that you?! Anyone else feel like the British Summer Time has finally started?! ☀️
Just checking in to say 'Hi, how are you?' and remind you that you can fill in an enquiry form on my website (link in Bio) if you're planning your wedding for 2023! 👰‍♀️💍
I still have some availability left to create wedding flowers this year but you'd need to get in quick to secure a date and get talking about wedding blooms!
🌸🌺🌼
It's also British Flowers Week this week, check out their website for more information. British flowers are really shining right now, superb quality, often scented and with unrivalled character, so where you can, consider supporting local growers.

I made this gypsophila crown on a headband to make it easy for this precious girl to wear. The most perfect adornment for this stunning outfit

☀️Willing back the sunshine from yesterday on this rainy Sunday 🌧

Loved making this sunshiny lemon and pink bouquet whilst training with - the delicate and light colour palette make me think of bright sunny days 😎

🗓Day 29: New vrs old

Trends and styles come and go. Floristry and fashion go hand-in-hand and it's so exciting to see what's new, especially in the wedding industry.

Take the bridal bouquet for example - the colours, the textures, size of bouquet, shape of bouquet and 'must have' flowers change all the time! I am certainly influenced by what's in fashion, but I like to think I also have my take on it.

My aim is to make you a classic bridal bouquet, one you will look back on and still love in 20/30/40/50 years time! My signature style is one where there is lots of different textures, focal flowers usually (scented roses if at all possible!) and beautiful smaller flowers and foliage to compliment.

I try to ensure that your bouquet will enhance and complement your entire bridal look, so understanding your dress, hair and make up and overall style is key for me, so that I can make a bouquet especially for you, your look and your day.

These two bouquets are 8 years apart, so one 'new' and one 'old' so to speak. I loved both of these, those toffee roses in the first and the pop of hot pink nerines in the second.

Can you guess which one was made recently and which one a few years back?!

07/04/2022

🗓Day 28: Low stock

I'm a studio florist and so I hold flowers for a short period of time and they are always destined to be part of a particular wedding arrangement, event or party, sympathy flowers, bouquet or flower crown. So my flowers are 'in stock' only when I order them in - one of the reasons why I need at least a couple of days' notice or any order 🙌

But all the items I use to make the flowers do their magic are 'in stock'.
I like to make my things look a bit different and I'm always looking for a personal touch. These gift tags are my favourite little personal touch I've used lately - hand painted watercolour flowers on beautiful thick card. I love writing a message from my customer on the back of these and attaching them to the bouquet. I hope my customers like these little unique personal touches too :-) I’ve run out of these now, but am placing my order for more as I post this!

🗓Day 24: Milestone

I'm a bit behind on but I'm enjoying the prompts so much that I'll carry on to the end:-)

I recently went past my milestone of 1000 followers on Instagram. As we know it isn't just a numbers game, far from it in fact. It's important that your followers engage with you, enjoy your content and support your business. I'm so grateful to have found such a supportive community here and met some lovely people, as well as attracting wonderful customers.

It's an opportunity to showcase my work, and I work hard to build my profile, presence and talk about the things that matter to me in business. I appreciate that 1k followers to some accounts isn't a big milestone, but for me it was a golden number as I edged 1 by 1 towards it.
Thanks for your follow everyone :)

🗓Day 22: Lesson

The biggest challenge to come along in this business adventure so far, has to be in December 2022, when following several glorious and fun workshops and a beautiful wedding, Covid hit the household - more specifically hit me.

Covid sideswiped me and I was utterly heartbroken to be unable to finish my workshops in person. Here's the thing - in that moment I was so overwhelmed by the bad timing of it all and so sad to let my customers down, that it was tricky to see past it.
But here's the lesson - I found a way through. My customers were understanding and amazingly accommodating, we agreed on various ways through it, be it a refund, an arrangement at a later date, or home wreath kits.

When you have a small business, it is you or a small team of people operating. You try to plan and allow for every eventuality (believe me, I really do!), but sometimes external things are not in your control. Accepting this and moving forward anyway, takes courage.
There will always be a way through and around a situation - believe that you will always be able to rise to the challenge! That was a lesson I had to learn.

24/03/2022

🗓Day 21: Materials

My floristry materials are essential to making the magic happen and my most used item is a nice sharp pair of scissors to cut stems.
I'm pretty particular about having 2 sets of scissors to hand. One pair to cut the flowers and foliage and one pair to get a fantastically sharp edge on the end of ribbon, paper, hessian etc. I bought these pink ones from years ago! They have a tendency to go missing because they have pink stars on them and everyone wants to use them in our house, so I'm constantly searching for 'my pink scissors'! 😂🌸

19/03/2022

🗓Day 15: Time

How much time ⏰ does it take you to flower a wedding? A question I often get asked!
It's a tough question, but let me try to break it down and give you a flavour of what goes on behind the scenes!
These are some (probably not all) of the things that I do to make wedding flowers happen!
You can imagine how the time adds up, but I wouldn't change a thing 💜🌸

Six months - one year before the wedding:-
Consultation * Discovery call * Sharing ideas * Emails, phone calls, zoom * Mood boards * Producing initial consultation * Finding vessels * Visiting suppliers to find the best vases/candlesticks/props * Pricing * Site visits * Booking freelancers *

The week before the wedding:-
Ordering flowers * Market trips to get flowers (sometimes to more than one wholesaler) * Conditioning flowers * Bleaching buckets * Clearing workshop * Preparing vessels with sustainable mechanics * Cleaning and preparing candlesticks/vases etc * Taking measurements * Making of arrangements and creating bouquets * Collecting hired items * Preparing the van * Paying invoices *

Day of the wedding:-
Ribbon bouquets * Ribbon buttonholes * Pack the van * Deliver bridal flowers * Set up ceremony and reception flowers * Make final adjustments * Tidy up * Take photos of everything for socials! *

Day after the wedding:-
Collect vases from venue * Clean vases * Take hardware back to hire suppliers * Clear down workshop *** Giant bubble bath, cup of tea and bar of chocolate! ***

🗓Day 11: Numbers

How many flower books are too many? Each of these offer me reference and inspiration, it's all about continual learning!

Are you a book lover? What types of books are your favourites?

10/03/2022

🗓Day 9: Hands at work

So here an action shot of my hands at work. It got me thinking how important hands are for those in creative businesses.
As soon as the autumn weather starts or if I’ve had my hands in and out of water constantly with blooms, they look dry, cracked, and well and truly in need of some care.

Anybody got any top tips to share on caring for your hands?
I use working hands by and h**p cream by
I’m always looking for more recommends and tips though - put them below if you have any! ⬇️
Anyone used a good overnight hand treatment? ⬇️

🪴This week we took the van to Soho, London to spread some flowery love @starstruckcorp We were asked to suggest a design concept for the window boxes in this gorgeous newly acquired London building. For the winter months, we went with a simple and classic green and white combination, bringing colour and impact en masse. The mixture of plants included these stunning senecio ‘Angel Wings’, scented rosemary, white heather and trailing ivy. Some snowdrop and crocus bulbs should pop up after Christmas too! ❄️ It was so satisfying to see this beautiful but plain building be turned into something that was blooming with colour, movement and life. Bringing greenery into the London streets for the winter months was great and stay tuned to see what we do once the spring/summer starts! Thanks for having us @starstruckcorp Location: 📍Wardour Street My fabulous team: @rosebudflowers_crowthorne #flowers #plants #windowboxes #Londonwindowboxes #corporateplanting #corporateflowers #flowertransformations #plantsinlondon

Flowers evoke feelings and memories! ✨ It’s a fact ☺️ These French sunflowers are stealing my heart. In a field en masse they are just stunning or individually up close. They are pure joy🌻 Remember to always choose flowers you love, whether it be for their scent and style, or memories and feelings they evoke. Nature is powerful and it stays with you for life! I especially love to put scented flowers for my brides in their bouquets 💐 Sunflowers have the wow factor and personally I think they suit big arrangements, arches and vases the best ❤️ Hands up if you’ve had pictures in fields of sunflowers as a kid?! 🙌 #sunflowers #frenchsunflowers #july #floristchoice #sunflowersofinstagram #sunflowermagic #berkshireflorist #flowersofinstagram #sunflowersofinstagram
