Wedding Consultations

All set for this morning’s wedding consultation! Looking forward to discussing ideas, plans and all things floral. 🌺

I have to say there’s a huge advantage to our decision to be studio based… no more chilly ❄️ consultations in the shop! We can sit and chat in the warm! 😁

If you are planning a wedding and would like a free consultation to talk flowers then please DM or call on 07506 282126.

Can’t recommend enough…

My first commissioned piece ✨

A few months ago, I was asked if I would consider doing a one off piece for a 80th birthday gift.
I never even considered this before and honestly, was a little bit scared in having that added pressure in knowing that I wasn’t creating this piece for me but for someone very special as a gift. All I knew is that the person in question loved English flowers.

As usual, my go to florist Sweetpea came to my rescue when I approached her with the details and she put aside an arrangement of flowers so that when I came in on the morning of my shoot, I could select what flowers I wanted. Boy did she know what type of flowers I would go for. I think I chose nearly all the ones she put aside for me. Simply gorgeous. Big thanks to Melanie from Sweetpea for your amazing customer service and always providing me with the utmost delicious flowers 🎀

This piece was delivered and gifted last Friday and received with love and gratitude from the new owner 🌸

So I guess what I’ve taken from all this is if someone else is looking for a one off piece that’s created just for you…. I’m here to assist ✨

🌾🌾Tied Sheaf🌾🌾

🌾When deciding on funeral flowers, the decision can feel overwhelming.

🌾A Tied Sheaf is a lovely tied bunch of flowers in colours of your choice.

🌾It’s a natural and eco friendly choice as it is completely foam and plastic free, making them ideal for natural burials.

🌾They also give the option of being taken home by the family to display in a vase after the funeral.

💫Thursday’s wedding was special. D&N gave me the opportunity to decorate the truly stunning

What an absolute treat to flower the staircase and mantelpiece as well as create huge foliage swags in the reception room.

Thank you to my wonderful onsite assistant Emma, of Floribus Luxury Flowers and to Imogen of Aswarby Rectory who was so helpful in the planning stages.

We loved every minute.

Congratulations to D&N, wishing you every happiness 💫
