The sun is shining☀️, let wedding season commence! Here’s a little snippet of the florals from Nada and Mac’s wedding. By the way wedding couples, Nada @little_london_bakery is super talented (and lovely!) so do check her out if you need a wedding cake 🎂 #londonflorist #luxurywedding #luxuryflorist #floraldesigner #syonhouse #syonhousewedding #greatconservatorysyon

What does a florist have on their front door for Christmas? 🎄 Something like this! Red velvet baubles and red velvet ribbon with lots of fresh smelling pine. I may add a few more bits closer to Christmas 😊 All home made… If you’d like to learn how to make your own wreath, we have just a couple more tickets left for 9th December @thelalitlondon (other dates all sold out I’m afraid) xx Ticket link in bio 🎁 #christmasdecor #christmasinspiration #christmasinlondon #christmastree #shilpareddy #shilpareddyflowers

It’s Thursday morning tutorial time! Door wreaths aren’t just for Christmas you know 😊 I’ve created this one from seasonal flowers, some from my own garden. Use hardy greens and flowers that dry well. I’ve used Straw flower as they are great dried, with pistache and eucalyptus as my base. Your softer flowers may need to be replaced after a few days but not to worry as this will give you a whole new design! (My echinacea will need to be replaced or cut out pretty soon due to the heat but I love their colour, so just had to add them in). Any questions on technique - please ask in comments ⬇️ Having said all that, Door wreaths really ARE for Christmas and we’re taking bookings now for our flagship Christmas wreath classes. 🥳🎅🏼🎄Please DM if you’d like to know more! #wreathmaking #summerwreath #frontdoorwreath #luxuryflorist #londonflorist #shilpareddyflowers #shilpareddyflowerdesign #thingstodoinlondon #makersgonnamake #christmaswreathmakingworkshop #christmasinjuly #christmaswreathmaking #flowerarranging #flowerarrangingworkshop #christmasevents #henpartyideas #officeparty #officepartyideas

Amazing what you can come across whilst scrolling through the camera roll 🌸 During lockdown I was fortunate enough to take an online History of Art course @sothebysinstitute The highlight for me (being a fan of all things botanical) was the section on the paintings of the Dutch Masters 🌸 Having been suitably inspired, here was my take on a Rachel Ruysch painting using fresh fruit and flowers for an event @shangrilalondon last year.

It’s ‘work from home’ day today (admin… ugh!) so I’m arranging here using items from the garden and the fridge. Here’s a nifty trick you can try at home involving re-using a mesh bag. Use lightweight, short flowers for this one as the mesh can’t hold heavy branches. If you’d like to experiment with your salad tomatoes as I have, use some floristry wire to stabilise them on the vine. However if you’d rather watch than do this yourself then please do get in touch! Myself and the team would be happy to create beautiful arrangements for your wedding/corporate event or even organise you a workshop 😊 #workshops #corporateworkshops #flowerarranging #flowerarrangingtutorial #flowerart #flowersandinteriors #shilpareddy #shilpareddyflowerdesign #shilpareddyflowers #londonflorist #luxuryflorist #thingstodoinlondon #reuseandrecycle #sustainablefloristry #nofloralfoam #householdhacks

A quick arrangement before my flowers start to wilt in this heat and my hair gets even frizzier! This week I’m looking at using fruit and flowers. I’m at home today so no chicken wire available for my framework - I’ve improvised with a wire coat hanger instead. Instructions in video and audio but here are some extra tips below to help you along: 1. Put your branches in first to form the basic outline. (I’ve simply foraged from the garden). 2. Don’t worry if your fruits fall off the branch (as mine have done!) Thread floristry wire through them and re-attach. 3. If you don’t have a spare coat hanger then some chicken wire squashed into a ball will do. Either way you need something to support your stems in the vase. Let me know how you get on! #thingstodoinlondon #flowerworkshop #flowerart #flowerfrog #shilpareddyflowerdesign #shilpareddy #shilpareddyflowers #flowerarranging #flowerarrangingtutorial #ikebana #sustainablefloristry #weddingflorist #londonflorist #luxuryflorist #tablecentrepieceflowers #tablecentrepiece

My favourite part of wedding season… when the official photos start to come through! 📸 @laurenjuliettephoto 🌼 by us! 🏰 @woodhallmanor Congratulations to just the loveliest of couples @carolinekitshair and Steve. Thank you for putting your trust in us🎈 *For the flower fans, I’ve used Sahara and quicksand roses to give a vintage feel to the colour palette. #woodhallmanor #springwedding #springweddingflowers #summerwedding #weddingflorist #weddingflowers #luxuryflorist #londonflorist #bridalbouquet #vintagewedding #luxurywedding #luxuryflowers

What the Dickens?! How many times have we walked past local landmarks and just not noticed them?? I do this all the time! @gunwharfquays commissioned us to bring the local area into bloom with the ‘flower bombing’ of this wonderful bronze of Charles Dickens, who originally hailed from Portsmouth. (He was also a keen gardener!) If you’re in Portsmouth please do pop by #GunwharfQuays retail centre and have a look. I’d love to know what you think! Thank you to my resilient team (esp. Dalila!) One of these days we’ll have some good weather conditions 😂

🚗Continuing our tour of the country😊… we’re at @galleria_outlet_centre ,installing my favourite telephone box of the lot so far. This one was inspired by the colours of my favourite sweeties! @lovehearts_uk 🍬 Please pop by and take some pictures if you’re in the Hatfield area🌺 #galleriahatfield #hatfieldgalleria #hatfieldgalleriashoppingcentre #floraltelephonebox #floralinstallation #floraldesigner #makersgonnamake #chelseaflowershow #belgraviainbloom #chelseainbloom #landsec #jubileeflowers #telephoneboxflowers #londonflorist #luxuryflorist #shilpareddy #shilpareddyflowers #shilpareddyflowerdesign

More floral sculptures going up! This time at @clarksvillageuk . My favourite is this paint tube design. If only we could actually squirt out bedding plants from paint tubes… gardening would be so easy! Thank you to my lovely team, Dalila, Leonie and Jenevieve. 💪🌺 #floralsculpture #floralartist #floraldesign #floralinstallation #floralpainttube #floraltelephonebox #floralbin #clarksvillage #shilpareddyflowerdesign #shilpareddy #londonflorist #chelseainbloom #belgraviainbloom #gardendesign
