Just under a week to go until the big day arrives! 😬 I just can't believe how time has flown by this year. I'm still busy with creating beautiful florals, Christmas garland, table centrepieces, and bouquets. But I think I'm just about ready with everything else! Wrapping 95% done, food shop done, tree up and house decorations done. All that is left is the big clear up of Chrismas floristry and to hang my scissors up on Christmas eve 😁 🎄

It doesnt seem to matter how much I plan it, or how organised I feel I am its the same every Christmas. It seems to just hit me like a 10 ton lorry, boom and there it is! 😬. Its a busy time for me but I love it. ❤️

When you look out of the window on a wet and windy Autumn day and you know Christmas is just around the corner 🍂 is my inspiration for this piece

Lots of late nights working the past week, but find I always come up with new ideas when I'm trying to sleep! Can't seem to switch off! This idea came to me and couldn't wait to put it into practice the next morning. Pleased with the end result. I did Gonk wreaths last year but decided to put a different spin on it. 🌙

Just a quick note to Thank everyone who has booked me to host wreath workshops this year, it's a bumper year for bookings which is great! I'm really looking forward to another year!
Also I have limited availability from now until Christmas so if you would like to order any florals please could I ask for as much notice as possible to ensure all orders are fulfilled on time.
Many thanks!

Not a flower post this one but I'm organising a fundraising jumble sale in aid of my daughters gymnastics club Be Gymnastics . I'm looking for donations of clothes, shoes, books, baby, toys and bric a brac that we can add to our jumble to raise funds for the clubs expansion this autumn. The club is a not for profit organisation. If you are able to help and have anything to donate I would be most grateful.
Happy to collect!
Thankyou 🙂

Have a great weekend everyone and stay safe in the sun 🌞

This hot dry weather has not been a friend to my poor garden, it seriously needed watering. Plus the fish were due for a clean tank too so decided to reuse the fish tank water on the garden to water my plants. I love to do what I can for the environment and conserve water where I can. So now I have happy fish and happy plants 🪴. What do you do to conserve water while keeping the flowers in your garden going? It would be easy to just stick the hose pipe on wouldn't it? I think we all need to do our bit to help conserve water and be more eco friendly.
Pictures of my happy fish and my stunning rose 'mum in a million' in my garden that benefitted from the water today! 😊

Sending funeral flowers is a traditional way to pay tribute and send condolances to a loved one and their family at a very difficult time. Often words are so hard to find and convey what we want to say.
I have made this quick guide to help with the funeral flower etiquette
A rose without thorns offers a home consulation service to help you and your family choose the right flowers. From bespoke tributes to more traditional pieces, we help guide you through the process
All our tributes are delivered to the funeral directors on the day to give you peace of mind.
If you need any further advice or have any questions regarding floral tributes, please feel free to DM me. I am always happy to help
