MERRY CHRISTMAS 🌿🌲

From my family to yours, I hope whatever you do and wherever you are that you have a wonderful time.

Here's to a beautiful, slow period of just enjoying and appreciating everything - especially food! (Although I'm desperate for some Pate on toast).

Lots of Christmas love 😘🌿🍂🌲

MATERNITY LEAVE 🌿🍂

I wanted to say a huge thank you for such a beautiful, floral filled year! I've had the most amazing time creating flowers for so many weddings and events, hosted so many workshops and thrown in a flower show again too.

I am now officially on maternity leave!

Little bump has been with me for most of the year and now it's time for me to take a little step back for a while, rest and prepare for our new addition to enter the world.

Thank you for all of your wonderful, lovely messages. I am so excited to be back in Spring 2025 with lots and lots of floral joy and some exciting changes. I will still be here though, so do get in touch about enquiries and bookings and I will reply when I can.

All of the floral love, Stacey x

WORKSHOP SEASON COMPLETE 🌿🌲

Today marked my last workshop for 2024 and my last floral workshop for a little while.

I am forever grateful to everyone who has booked onto a public workshop or who booked in a private one this year. It's been an extra special workshop season with bump coming along for the ride for most of the year!

26 workshops done and it has been the most creative, and beautiful experience possible and I am so amazed and in love with everyone's stunning creations.

I am so excited for next years plans - here's to even more floral workshop joy in 2025!

WREATH JOY 🌿🎄

Last night was such a fabulous night hosting a wreath workshop with the wonderful Nook & Cranny in Alderley Edge.

One of my absolute favourites to host with and the cosiest space I know! We created beautiful wreaths using lots of fresh foliage whilst sipping hot chocolates and eating treats.

Thank you to the lovely ladies who joined me. Look how gorgeous their wreaths are?

MY BUSINESS VALUES 🌿🍂

When I set up my business, there were 3 main values that I wanted to encompass throughout everything I do and create. I thought I'd share them with you...

1// Sustainability - This is at the heart of all of my work. Everything I create is made sustainably and naturally. I use no floral foam and no single use materials. I also use British flowers and source from as local to me, or a venue, as possible.

2// Seasonality - All of my work is inspired by and reflects the seasons. I encourage clients to love the seasonality we have here and love showing how to use that. I source from local growers, forage for wild beauty and design led by what is growing and blossoming. My designs will reflect what beauty we have at a particular time in the year - including lots of foliage, dried and everlasting flowers through the winter

3// Wellbeing & Creativity - As someone who knows first hand the positive impact that flowers, gardens and nature can have, I am an advocate for encouraging wellbeing in all that I do. My aim to to create a safe space for people to explore and create. My workshops all encourage a sense of wellbeing and creative expression through floral joy.

HAPPY MONDAY 🌿 🍂

Thank you for such a wonderful afternoon.

BACK TO THE START 🌿🍂

It's coming up to 3 years since I changed my career and started my life as a floral creator, so I thought I'd take you on a journey! I decided to book onto a 3 day course with Rachel Tallulah Rose Flower School back in November 2021 to learn floristry and "make sure" it was what I wanted to do.....safe to say that I loved every second and instantly knew this was it!

Fast forward to now......My business has blossomed into something that I could only have dreamt of, and my style and creations have definitely developed since back then.

I've worked so hard, and that first year was such a test, but I didn't ever give up on myself. In 2022, I started selling dried flowers in stores, marketing to a new area I'd only just moved too, doing my first weddings but also had to cancel my only wreath workshop because not enough people booked on. Now, 2 years later, I've had a fully booked year of weddings and workshops, cemented relationships with amazing people, and all of my wreath workshops sold out in October!

Even though I'll be taking a little break at the start of 2025 to bring our baby into the world, I have some exciting things planned and new adventures, so I cannot to see where the year takes this business of mine.

Now, let's make the next two months full of beautiful floral joy.

WREATH WORKSHOP JOY 🌿🎄

Yesterday was my first workshop of the festive season and what a beautiful afternoon it was.

15 lovely ladies, and one wonderful child from Northwich Musical Theatre Choir joined me for a creative afternoon of wreath making and treats! How stunning are their creations?!

Thank you for the loveliest start to a very busy Christmas 🌿🍂🎄

K&D 🌿🍂

My last wedding of the year back in October was such a beautiful, autumnal dream. K&D were having a gorgeous intimate wedding and wanted dried flowers in autumnal colours to create a warm and cosy atmosphere.

It was such a pleasure to create their florals. I do love creating with dried flowers, and it's so special when people get to keep them and gift them afterwards.

How stunning are the colours, though?! (those burgundy bridesmaids dresses are 😍)

PASTEL DREAMS 🌿🌸

When people describe how they imagine their flowers, I know instantly if we are a perfect fit. Chloe wanted cottage garden pastels that resembled a beautiful patchwork quilt, a little vintage Cath Kidston vibe and lots of pink!

One thing I knew instantly was that my entire wardrobe was the perfect inspiration and this was absolutely a dream brief.

I absolutely loved creating a patchwork quilt of pastels for C&A and their beautiful countryside wedding. Who else feels immediate joy when they see these?

I still have a few spaces for wedding flowers in 2025, so get in touch if you would love a chat.

REVIVE & THRIVE RETREAT 🌿🌸

Starting a beautifully cool but sunny week off with a throwback to the summer. Back in the June, I had such an honour of hosting a flower crown workshop for this amazing group of ladies who attended the Revive and Thrive Retreat weekend.

When I met Nic, I knew we shared similar values around wanting to create space and opportunity for women to connect with others and to find a place to relax and thrive. The retreat she runs is such a beautiful sanctuary, and I feel so grateful to have been able to be part of it and bring a few hours of floral joy!

Workshops like this are always really special to me so expect more beauty like this is coming in 2025.
