I’m going to be very candid.

Unfortunately I’ve had to cancel wreaths this year, minus a couple of very small hotel ones I’m contracted to. I have issued full refunds and cancelled the event online for any ticket sales.

Those of you who know me well, know that I’m a huge introvert often overwhelmed by people, despite how much I love them. I adore all my couples and give weddings my absolute all both physically and mentally, which is why I limit them to one a week as I can find it very intense work.

However, you’ll also know that my partner had a very bad road accident a couple months ago and hasn’t been able to either work full time or drive since. The consequence has been an increase in the intensity of work both at home and on the farm, alongside my own full time role. He is still having on going tests as we get to the bottom behind what caused the seizure that caused the crash. This remains an ongoing health issue.

For this reason, I need to focus all my energy outside of home on my existing couples for the remainder of the year and whilst a single wedding is a lot more work than 100 wreaths, the mere idea of being in a room with that many people all day feels like climbing Everest.

If you’re a November or December couple please don’t worry, I’m absolutely here for it and can’t bloody wait! But mentally my overwhelm to the current situation is manifesting in anxiety of crowds and I just don’t have the energy to be wreath Sam this year for a full 12 hours.

Please accept my apologies and I can only thank you for being so kind patient and understanding

Have you been catfished? I’m here to help bury sweet Bobby…

You guys know I’m out there loving Pinterest on a daily basis, but how many times have I had the awkward and very real conversation about how badly photographically filtered the florals on there and other platforms are? (And I mean badly as in poor to life, don’t come for me)

Like 7,000 f’ing million times.

Do we love darker edits in autumn and winter? Hell to the YES, I’m here for them ALL YEAR ROUND.
Do I live for a light and airy timeless photo feel? Totes.

But trying to demonstrate to couples who have curated boards based on moody hues and artistic / ‘fashion forward’ edits that those floral colours do indeed NOT exist, or that in order to create them I can’t use the florals in that actually photo - is a very difficult one to swallow if you’re set on a look that isn’t grounded in any version of reality.

So let me help you. I’m here to sink sweet Bobby and show you more than often how florals look IN TRUE LIGHT on the grid.

Because on your actual day - THAT’S your aesthetic and I’m the one that’s going to create it ❤️

Welcome to what flowers really look like, filter free 🤙

Ellie and Owain…. Sh***ng hell HOW STUNNING. That’s a technical term btw.

Look no further for your elevated autumnal aesthetic and feast your eyes on these delicious goodies from

A warm rich textural floral brief with oodles and lashings of flowers. Delicious.

My Instagram game remains weak and I’m increasingly absent from stories (a big relief to some of you) but I’m still in FULL FLORAL SWING as there’s no wind down in season over at FRF HQ. In matter of fact we’re booked right up until NYE, which is awesome because I loathe that holiday - anyone else???!!!

Limited places remain for next year but please reach out for any autumn dates as two weeks do remain - and if no one books them I’ll probably do something stupid like book a camper holiday in vegas.

Rosie and Alex and their effortlessly refined look over at this weekend past.

Together we worked to carve out a refined end of summer start of autumn aesthetic with clean lines and editorial nods.

The almost neon effectiveness of the hot pinks was subtly pulled back with lilacs and the faintest touches of yellows, while the burnt orange and saffron background tones worked to add dimension to the colours - providing a warmth needed for October that ushered in a palette evocative of seasonal change.

Then to lift and elevate the mood, giving that ‘old money or editorial’ Pinterest aesthetic - we introduced an explosion of SMALL DETAILS that enchanted guests, drew a subconscious eye back to Rosies dress and warmed the seasonal feel with hand stitched embroidery and subtle bow details.

The wonky stems filled bud vases richly whilst different heights of deep pink candlelight made sure to highlight each detail and create dancing floral shapes on the pristinely hemmed runners.

Clean Matt white podiums to display floral scapes added a modern feel that gave off a warm soft light and framed the couple perfectly for the ceremony.

A moment please for and the wedding of Katie and James over at the perfect , a symphony of warm whites and blues styled organically with texture, movement and whimsical elements throughout.

One of my favourite look books for this year and I’m so glad to see this playful palette continue long into next year. Captured effortlessly and timelessly by whose natural light and airy style compliments this look to perfection.

We decided to invest the majority of the budget in installation florals for big wow impact that could be repurposed and restyled throughout each stage of the day. ALWAYS worth doing in my mind rather than spending 1/3 on Bridesmaids or personal florals.

The stunning horseshoe nest was met by a soft broken arch on both ends and teamed with soft drapes and white festoons - proper sexy.

We pulled back on tables, going minimal with a few bud vases and heavy candle light - before restyling the nest into 5 floor pieces which each became a meadow end for a corresponding row of trestles. The soft broken arch was used to bookcase frame the large top table, ensuring the aesthetic was seen in both barns by split guest seating arrangements.

Viola.

Then if that wasn’t enough, the incredible team at town head ((big up Tanya and Beth)) restyled the broken arch into this stunning evening display complete with cake from

If you go down to the woods today…

You’ll probably find me clutching broken tree branches, buckled knees, wind in my messy hair like a 90’s Micheal Jackson in ‘Earth Song’ ugly sobbing, fluid pouring from my eyes and nose because Emily and Ollys big day came and ended far too soon.

If you don’t understand that reference I’m absolutely 100% too old to be your Florist. Thank god for for capturing the smaller details to soften the blow of my heartache and allow me to remember HOW STUNNING ALL THIS WAS.

For the sake of sounding even more tragic ((in for a penny)) please book me if you’re getting married because I love it here and my style literally compliments it like Salt does Pepper.

The biggest reason ((I think)) you should book me…

My attention to detail and the way it matches closely with my experience of how other suppliers work, the light and set up of venues and the quality of product that ensures you receive.

I particularly understand where and how your photographer will need to stand to get shots based on your ceremony set up and guest count.

I understand that florals you may not see or interact with on the day mean nothing to you, but that having the backs of your decor as beautiful as the front WILL translate in your images. There will be SO many things you don’t notice I’ve even done, until you get your images back.

My attention to detail across the board will not let you down. The quality of the service I provide will be an investment that rewards you long after the day has gone, this is something feedback is consistent on and I couldn’t be prouder of that.

The 360 and Birds Eye of these florals captured without fault and full of romance by who I can’t thank enough.

A little sneak at tomorrow’s unfiltered soft colour scheme… Blue and White has been HUGE this year and is looking likely to be just as big in 2025.

Here however, the introduction of peach tones evokes soft summer feels and in a red hued barn setting - helps bring the look of both the florals and the venue together.

Peach Florals can be by nature very rigid, however the inclusion of florals that can be reflexed and manipulated allows for the light and airy intentional organic look to be kept.

Fresh and Light but also Warm and Earthy.

The dance of the sweet peas, one I’ll love forever - for all their bends, folds and breaks they always come out looking the more beautiful because of it.

I can’t say it better than Macarena , so I won’t…

“You are THE perfect Florist. Your flowers and how you brought everything together, brought so much joy and beauty to our day. Everyone said they had never seen anything like it. Such magic. I am so in awe of your art and the love and care you bring to what you do.”

Absolutely best friends in another life, my stunning Macarena and her wonderful Neil. If anyone oozes love, these two do. Such a privilege to be part of their memory and great work by The Universe to bring us together.

Images by the incredibly talented who I’d like more weddings with please thanks.

Bright airy bouquets, milk churns to The Moon and a cake meadow fit for a fairy.

May is one of my favourite months of the year and it is NOT disappointing.

The FIRST DAHLIA of The Season for The Taylors. A little bit of burnt colours at the start not the end of Summer. Charlotte The Bride, will for me, always be the archetype of classic beauty.

Thankful to all the growers, suppliers and wholesalers I’ve built relationships with to be able to source florals when they’re incredibly limited or rare.

You won’t know this and I hate to go fully nerd on you, but that was bloody HARD to do. I’m pretty chuffed with how all the time invested in colour theory these last several months, is really paying off in design dynamic.

I have obsessed over these gorgeous images by all evening and morning. Such a true colour reflection of the florals. Thank you to Craig for sharing these and being so delightful to work with on the day. He is absolutely superb.

Scroll to pic 3 to see A QUEEN.

Feeling full of gratitude for every single couple that decides to book and the opportunities to keep growing and learning as a Florist. I’m not afraid to say I’m better than I’ve ever been.

A huge thank you to other suppliers who frequently extend their kindness and send me beautiful images, I appreciate you all.
