My latest piece - a 'living' tapestry🌷

An embroidery hoop and hessian fabric created the perfect web into which I wove wild and textured dried flowers and foliage. Bracken, woodland sage, toadflax and Michaelmas daisies are just some of the beauties used here. Truly a way to bring the outside in!

This piece will be available to purchase at my stall at the Blended Monkey Crafts Autumn Artisan Fayre taking place this Sunday in Upwell. Come and say hello!

Autumn wreathing season has begun...

I made this one up with leftovers from my recent wedding commission and it is available for £45.

It's large-ish (55cm across) and made on a willow base with jute twine. It can be used inside or out, if outside it will naturally start to decay and mould after 3/4 weeks and can then be composted (remove the ribbon first). If used inside it will look good for years if placed away from direct sunlight and humidity.

Please DM me if interested. I will also be updating the shop section of my website (www.fenedgefloraldesign.co.uk) with ready-made autumn wreaths.

It was a joy to make these three wild and meadowy dried flower clouds and bridal bouquet for B&B's wedding today at Godwick Hall and Great Barn.

The couple requested a warm autumnal colour palette with a dusting of gypsophila. I can't wait to see how these colours and textures pop against the backdrop of the Barn and the bride's black wedding dress!

The flower clouds are made on a wire and hazel base, with zero floral foam in sight. It was a proud moment for me to be able to use lots of home-grown blooms, including rudbeckias, dahlias and orache, as well as beautiful seasonal grasses and flowers from Amber Cottage Flowers and foraged bits and pieces (dock and hops are always a winner)!

If you are interested in similar pieces for your wedding or event please DM me or email me at [email protected]

This beautiful large flower cloud was safely delivered to its new home near Birmingham today!

The customer requested a colour palette of pinks, purples and whites - a lovely fresh combination and a wonderful opportunity to showcase some freshly dried seasonal flowers including marjoram, sea lavender and achillea.

This statement piece is full of texture and has a very calming scent!

The flower cloud was made on a handcrafted wire and hazel base, secured with twine. No floral foam in sight!

If you are interested in commissioning one of these clouds, please DM me. Custom-made in a size, style and colour of your choice.

It was a joy to make these seven half-crowns and buttonhole for a wedding in the Cotswolds yesterday 🤍✨🥂

The crowns were intricately handcrafted using freshly dried British seasonal flowers, including winged everlasting, feverfew and yarrow. The flowers were woven onto a handmade wire base using twine, and finished with ribbon.

I still have some capacity for weddings this year so please get in touch if you’d like some crowns or half-crowns making up for your special day.

A fresh garden posy, featuring a number of flowers I've grown from seed this year, including dahlias, sweet peas, statice and nigella. A lot of these lovely blooms will be harvested and hung upside down for use in bouquets, wreaths, wedding accessories etc. this year and next 😀

Please let me know if you'd like to order a fresh or dried posy/bouquet - prices start at £15.

A gift bouquet for a 60th birthday 💜💙🤍

A rich and sumptuous palette of blues, burgundies and creams, with a truly beautiful mix of dried flowers and grasses. Dahlias, nigella, toadflax, roses and achillea to name but a few of the seasonal British stems here.

Please get in touch if you would like to commission a bouquet as a gift or just for yourself!

I hope everyone has had a restful weekend.

Despite the torrential rain the garden is really coming into its own now, and the hard work and patience of sowing hundreds if not thousands of seeds early in 2024 is starting to pay off. Here are a few of the varieties of flowers growing in my garden to be harvested this summer for drying, including sunflowers, statice, achillea, roses and dahlias.

I can make up a limited number of fresh posies/bouquets this year so let me know if you are in need of some floral therapy. I also have a glut of perennial (non-scented) sweet peas which need to be rehomed so I'll be selling small bunches of them for £5 or medium bunches for £10. They are quite long lasting - the dramatic magenta colour fades to a more muted pink before turning blue!

22/06/2024

Happy weekend all!

A little reminder that I can make flower crowns for weddings, festivals and other events in bespoke sizes, colour palettes and styles.

Prices range from £20-45 depending on type and quantity of flowers required. Please DM me if you would like more info 👑🌸👑
