Personalising your space, and adding impact!

When planning your wedding florals, it’s important to think of how you want to feel in your space, and how much you want to make it personal to you. For some the focus isn’t so much on the ceremony space since you spend a relatively short time in this space compared with the reception. Here’s the thing though, the ceremony is arguably the most important part of the day, the place where the next chapter in your story begins! The space where you’ll have lots of photos taken and the space you and your guests first experience. It’s great to use floral pieces that can be repurposed from your ceremony into the reception where possible such as floral urns and candles, although this is not always possible and it’s important to discuss your ideas with your floral designer. Food for thought!

Seasonally led florals.

I’m constantly trying to grow and develop my craft as a floral designer, and I’m really enjoying making things for my own creative pursuit, embracing the materials that are available in the season.

This wreath is made on a willow base that I twisted into a a ring, hydrangea that I dried, Amaranthus (of course), limonium, fennel, panicum grass, beach and birch.

Not sure if to add this to my front door or just enjoy it in the house?

What do you think I should do?

I love working with couples to create something that they love, and that isn’t always what they think they want when we first meet. It’s my job and passion to have vision and creativity in designing your florals using seasonal ingredients with our signature texture and modernity. Trusting your wedding suppliers to do their thing is such a powerful thing and that’s just what this gorgeous pair did. Thank you H & L!

When it comes to floral design I’m driven by what’s in season, what will provide texture and interest, blending colour palettes, and considering the space it sits within.

These photos were taken back in April on a shoot I designed. I was inspired by the industrial and contemporary feel of and wanted the arrangements to reflect this Modernity, and to fill the table with interest whilst still maintaining it’s functionality. All flowers were grown locally in Yorkshire, by and highlighting the best of what was in season at that time.

If you’re looking for a floral designer for your wedding or event, and these values are a fit for you I’d love to hear from you. Let’s work together to create something special.

The last bank holiday of the year! We’re slipping into September with an autumnal feel in the air and I’m not ready for summer to be over! We have one wedding left this season and I can’t wait to get working on it! Then it’s time to think about you know what! I won’t say the word just yet. Let’s cling on to summer for just a bit longer!

Happy August Bank Holiday!

Modern designs; Just like fashion, florals also have trends. What’s hot and what’s not, essentially though you have to follow what speaks to you personally. Be led by what you enjoy, not what you are told you have to like. Flowers allow expression of mood, personality and the season we’re in so why not experiment and have some fun!

Here I’ve used Calendula and Bergamot, a flower frog and a bowl I got in Marrakech. This sort of design reminds me of the line arrangements I had to learn as part of my floristry qualification except there’s no floral foam here, and no real rules!

Happy Friday! If you enjoy seeing my floral musings be sure to drop a like, share with a friend or comment on my posts. It really means a lot to me. 😘

Trying out colour palettes. I love experimenting with texture and colour to see what’s popping. I like to draw inspiration from the flowers themselves as they often have hidden flecks and streaks of colour within, just like this Phlox (swipe accross to see). I’m feeling this beige/nude and pinky purple combo.


What’s your favourite colour combo, or one you’d like to see? Let me know in the comments.

Looking forward to a day at the flower field tomorrow, and then a day in my own garden on Thursday. There’s so much to do, and as ever Mother nature reminds us that time moves both quickly (no time to plant things out), and slowly, (waiting for things to grow and mature)! A contradiction I know. I find that now I’m following the seasons through flowers and plants that it really makes me appreciate the fleeting nature of both things and time.

It’s just over a month ago since I had the honour of flowering the wedding of W & K, a beautiful day filled with love and spring florals!

As we see the end of the daffodils and tulips, we make way for the next of the seasons offerings and there’s some flower queens about to put in a shift! Yes I’m looking at you Peony and Iris! This much awaited warm spell will be working wonders for the flowers and I’m so excited for the next flush! Bring on the flowers!

It’s all in the detail, from hand painted calligraphy place names, divine stationary, napkins, candles for that romantic soft light, elevated in glass sleeves, to complimentary coloured glass ware, and textured seasonal flowers.
