Swans Bottom's
▫️Thanks to I now know these American Beauties go by the nickname Swans Bottom's, and I can't unsee it now!
▫️A fluffy full bowl on the bar for yesterdays wedding, the last Studio wedding of 2024. Reaching Camelia branches and Snowballs. A heavenly mix.
▫️14/12/24, The Italian Greyhound, 6°, blue skies and sunshine.
▫️My videos keep stretching in Instagram, can anyone help?

Cosmos II
▫️Floating along long dining tables, in all their pink, cream and apricot tones. They really are so gorgeous. They wave in the gentle breeze and are consistently a favourite summer stem.
▫️Mixed bud vases and bowls for this summertime wedding. Fizzy pinks and sparkling peaches. Lemons with rosemary decorated alongside for texture, colour and scent.
▫️If you're having sharing/ feasting platter for your dining, then bus vases and bowls are the way to go. Slide for the moment I saw Emma, I was excited to say the least

T'is the SZN
▫️Plugging some bits here, because I can. We've got a fair few workshops, most are booked up now. But I'm doing an absolute babein' one for Weds 27th November and fair on 30th November. Tickets probably most likely live soon, if not now. Just DM me to book if you want.
▫️Everyone is actually pretty sound on wreath making , so this year we are going to take you through the history of wreaths. Over a guided hour of making, history and genuine conversation, you'll go home with a beautiful, truly seasonal, hand made wreath that is truly compostable. And you'll be a glass of wine or cup of coffee happier. What's more to not love.

The Bar
▫️Towards this time of year, flower choices become a lot more specific. We have a lot more autumnal tones, lots of chrysanthemum varieties but green and white can be a little more tricky. Thankfully, white dahlia was covered from the amazing 🤍
▫️Tall hellebore, late season dahlia, camelia and trails. Finished with candles and bud vases, what a beautiful bar arrangement 🤍

Full Circle
▫️Second to last wedding of the year, possibly third. Crispy whites and lush greens, trailing feathery moments, ruffle XL cyclamen, ice hellebores, scented paper whites and vegan silk.
▫️This is Dandelion's take on the teardrop bouquet. Funny, we started this year with a teardrop bouquet which inspired this one. I'll try and find it, still useless at taking photos.
▫️The Barbican, 02/11/24, 14° and overcast.

▫️A entrance vase selection, but of course just a photo from the van. These glass vases were lined up to make one large piece in the entrance of a private home.
▫️ Beautiful dahlias, zinnea, Japanese anemones, nicotiana and geranium.
▫️A sleepy late summer tone. I love how all the heads look like they're having chats to each other or in different conversations.

Roses
▫️Excuse me while I mend my head and my body. A few instances in the last two weeks have left me really under the weather. If I post, great. If I don't, sorry.
▫️Here's some sensational roses from last week's entrance vase for a private client. They had two days to pop open, and apparently they did.
▫️This is a real cuddle to all people who are just fried. Echinacea is helping!

The Buttonhole
▫️Humble, but so very important. Wired flower heads with hidden mechanics so they last the day. A mini bouquet, or just a stem of foliage and flower head.
▫️These were 2 of 8 for Emma & Sam's big day a few weeks ago, in central London.
▫️Small dahlias, rose buse, Achilles, rosemary and sedum. Finished in double satin ribbon and attached to an easy badge, for ease.

Fireplaces
▫️At The Ned earlier in February. Jumping on the bow bandwagon, for a very special couple
▫️From wanting white orchids and roses, we discussed how seasonal could be even more impactful, tasteful and in general not so bad for negative impact. The gorgeous planner was happy to be steered towards locally grown, and as we planned out the day we both started to get more excited about the brief. The Wins!
▫️Stunning seasonal Camelia, birch, ivy and hellebores. Every mantle in the Tapestry room was the same too.
▫️Bold greens and bright whites work so well at this venue. Planning on having your special day at The Ned? Get in Touch for 2025, details in bio.
▫️ February 17th, The Ned, 14°, cloudy and clear

I wanna make shapes in big marquees and be up ladders all the time🤍
▫️These shapes were made for on an incredible wedding install that I was lucky to be a part of.
▫️Gestural, ultra thorny, rose trails, peonies, scented roses en masse. Unreal! All in chicken wire and reusable stakes and vials.
▫️The theme was pinks and reds, and my gosh did Issy smash it. Using local farmers (really local) to Bristol. Some gorgeous things were made. Thanks Is!
▫️Somewhere outside Bristol, June 1st, 26°
*I can't remember who took these photos, I'll tag you if you let me know*

A Rose among Roses. And a few Daisies.
▫️With the weather being outrageous, both British and Dutch peonies came to an abrupt end last week. The all peony ideas had to pivot. So, we went for roses.
▫️I loved this design. Rose is so fabulous right now. And we are so lucky to get our hands on some absolutely stunning varieties.
▫️ Huge thanks to for installing so I can rest and take a break. And for all your help in such a tight squeeze, you ange!
▫️Beautiful private dining room

Cow Parsley & Peonies
▫️A, quite literally, heavenly staircase display of stunning seasonal delights, the first of the seasons peonies amongst rambling tellima, tulips, cow parsley, birch and hespira.
▫️Young birch is my favourite foliage. It's so feathery at this point, but unless conditioned properly it can go over so quickly.
▫️At The ICA, designed for impact and woven with candles for ultra romantic effect. Trailing the staircase up to the dining area. All created in water tight containers, so absolutely no toxic foam was used.
▫️I love the world. So, in this business we do whatever we can to reduce the impact of the industry on the environment. This can be done, it just takes more time and a little more work sometimes.
▫️ Huge thanks to angels
.drury for bringing this magic to life. And HUGE thanks to for these amazing pics🤍🤍

the details.
▫️It's sometimes a lot more difficult to be specific with locally grown. However, we go above and beyond, travelling far and wide to get the stamps you need for your special day.
▫️Locally grown means no illegal pesticides, genuinely paid supply chain, good relationships with farmers and delivery drivers, and also means we care about every single stem in the brief.
▫️This bouquet came from so many different suppliers to get the best ingredients. It took so many days and nights to secure some of these stems, and we know why 🤍
▫️I cried to get some of these stems because two orders went astray. Sometimes, it's just really hard. But it all comes together in the end, and it really did for this one.
▫️For Ariadna, marrying Leo. The ICA 04/05/24 22° mainly sunny.

April is hitting it like a May wedding. If you fancy getting hitched in April next year, get in touch. Tulips, sweet peas, lilac, narcissus, blossom, birch and ranunculus. Mixed cut glass vase table centres are still a forever favourite. Looping stems and pronounced blousy heads, how gorgeous.
🤍Unreal.

Some BTS from that time we did an all cow parsley aisle when the blossom finished a week early. The pivot was sensational.
🤍All white lilac, whiteleaf and cow parsley arch top.
🤍Remembering my little alley at my old studio which holds so many memories, getting weddings and events in and around that tiny van.

A take on the long and low. Deconstructed in found and sourced vessels with looping, gestural and mixed vases.
🤍Betsy and Dave's wedding was a couple of years ago now, but looking back on their wedding is such a fun.
🤍On the Isle of Wight, a beautiful, sunny and warm day. Mixed vases throughout filled with late spring and early summer delights. In rustic and earthy tones with pops of peaches and apricots for good measure.
A moment for the Solomon seal 🤍🤍🤍
🤍14th May, Sunny 20°, Arreton Manor
I'll credit the photographer, sorry I can't find the correspondence

🔆 TRANSPARENCY: Some of these flowers were not locally grown. There are roses and peonies which were imported. This was from three years ago.
