Rustic garden urns filled with bountiful summer blooms & an abundance of seasonal foliage framed the aisle at this beautiful wedding…timeless & elegant…
The last few months has seen a flurry of wonderful weddings alongside managing to fit in a couple of much needed holidays…hence why I’ve been a bit quiet on here! I’m eagerly awaiting the professional photos to share with you & I know they’re going to be worth the wait! So in the meantime, here is an image from C & M’s beautiful September wedding last year ….
How cute are these favours… sweet little succulent plants wrapped in hessian.l make a perfect keepsake for your guests to take home & enjoy…

Jemma & Jamie…stealing a quiet moment together before the party begins…
Beautiful Katie looking absolutely radiant on a scorching hot day last September…
Beautiful 'Belle Epoque' tulips freshly picked from my allotment…so happy these are blooming again this year…
A boxful of rustic tied buttonholes combining fresh & dried elements with petite ones for the important little people…
Jug of hellebores…I love the simplicity…
Close up of Claire’s pretty, summery bouquet…
Dainty glass bowls for all of Spring goodness…ranunculus, hellebores, paperwhites & tulips but are you familiar with the more unusual fritillary meleagris ‘Snakeshead’? I love adding something a little different into the mix. Swipe for a close up…
Soft, muted shades…Claire & Martin’s beautiful September wedding
.co, a little gem tucked away in East London. With an industrial vibe, it’s full of original features, exposed brick, a jungle of tropical plants & oodles of natural light. A blank canvas just waiting for gorgeous seasonal florals to add that all important finishing touch…
Staircase florals…loved creating this garden-inspired floral installation for the elegant sweeping staircase . A stunning focal point & the perfect spot for those special photos of you & your guests…
Spring offerings…pretty ranunculus, anemones & hellebores. Just a few of my favourites…
Soft pastels & delicate textures…a trio of bridesmaid bouquets perfect for a beautiful Spring wedding. Papery ranunculus, scented paperwhites, waxy hellebores…just a few of my favourite things…
Keeping it simple… a pretty arch constructed using willow, interwoven with ivy, olive & branches of delicate spiraea ‘Snowmound’…perfect for the rustic surroundings of the beautiful 16th century barn …
I do love a mantelpiece & really enjoyed decorating this beauty with Spring florals, lush ferns & elegant candles…
Emma’s beautiful wreath taking pride of place…..a perfect Christmassy afternoon spent teaching a 1:2:1 Wreath Workshop warmed by a glass or two of mulled wine. From mossing the ring to binding on a beautiful mix of fresh foliage & then the hardest bit of all…choosing from an array of dried & fresh ingredients to create your very own design…
A visit to in October yielded a wonderful selection of pumpkins & squashes, all hand picked to add an element of fun to Michelle & Jim’s Autumn wedding aboard in Islington…
Michelle’s bouquet…capturing the seasons always….
Michelle’s bouquet…

Still luxuriating in these glorious autumnal tones 🤎… these designs were for a wedding a couple of weeks ago aboard a narrow boat on the Regents Canal in Islington…
Spot the ‘Black Knight’ scabiosa & the ‘Black Jack’ & ‘Cafe au Lait’ dahlias all grown by me. Oh & the teasels!
A smorgasbord of Autumn delights…cosy, warm, rich…my favourite time of year🤎…
The last of my yummy Chocolate Cosmos…I adore them🤎…

The rich shades of Autumn…'Black Jack’ & 'Cafe au Lait’ dahlias, 'Creme Brûlée' phlox & cosmos all grown on my plot! There’s a few bits of thrown in & I couldn’t resist popping in some 'Toffee’ roses & 'Vienna Copper' chrysanthemums…hmm I wonder how easy they are to grow🤔…
Beautiful bride Sarah, captured by the talented . I do love a statement installation & this floral chandelier added a real wow factor! This was a dream wedding to work on & I absolutely loved every minute.
Thank you, Sarah, for trusting me to realise your vision…
Florals in soft pinks & whites for Katie & David’s stunning September wedding held in the beautiful grounds of the family estate….
A country church wedding & natural, meadow-inspired florals…a match made in heaven. This pretty display in soft pinks & whites was designed for the signing table but would look equally beautiful adorning the altar or a rustic stone window sill. The flowers were then moved to the venue to decorate the drinks cart…

A few snapshots of Maurice’s House, the beautiful gîte in the grounds of @chateaudelaruche where we stayed on our recent sojourn to France. It was so idyllic I could quite happily have moved in. Thank you Rebecca & Tim for making our time there so special… . . . . . #chateaudelaruche #frenchchâteau #frenchcountrychic #mauriceshouse #gitesdecharmes #frenchcountrystyledecor #frenchcountrychateau #frenchcountryhome #frenchcountrylife #beautifulchateau #dreamingoffrance #vacancesalacampagne #frenchgite #rusticfrance ##chateaudecor #hiddeninthewoods #thelostestate #chateaudiy #sarthetourisme #chambredhotesdecharme #sarthe #lemansfrance #chateaustyle #exploringfrance #inlovewithfrance
Château de la Ruche @chateaudelaruche, a hidden gem tucked away in the French countryside just outside of Le Mans. Isn’t it just the most beautiful place? I’ve been dying to come here for ages & finally, as a special birthday treat, we spent a wonderful week staying in Maurice’s House, the little gîte nestled in the grounds of the Château (more photos to follow!). There is B&B available, too. Surrounded by its own woodland & wildflower meadows, it was the perfect setting to wind down & relax, French style. Rebecca & Tim are the loveliest hosts, the food was absolutely delicious & their attention to detail is second to none. I think you can tell I have been completely seduced!… . . . . . #chateaudelaruche #frenchchâteau #frenchcountrychic #frenchcountrystyledecor #frenchcountrychateau #frenchcountryhome #frenchcountrylife #beautifulchateau #dreamingoffrance #chateaudecor #wildflowermeadow #hiddeninthewoods #thelostestate #chateaudiy #sarthetourisme #chambredhotesdecharme #sarthe #lemansfrance #chateaustyle #exploringfrance #inlovewithfrance
