Oh hi there! Thanks for stopping by. This is me, Sophie. Designing and creating wedding flowers and smiling my way through all weather conditions.

Three things I love about my small business:
🤍working for amazing couples on their wedding day 🤍being able to be creative while calling it work 🤍 the colours, smells and feel of all the incredible flowers I use. - Who would like to hear some more about me?

Creating statement floral features is the highlight of my work I like filling small vases, I enjoy preparing wired bridal hair flowers but if you want to see me smile like a child on Christmas morning, take your flower ideas and make them bigger.

Broken arches, flower columns, floral chandeliers, moon-gates, flower screens the options are endless (and ever so exciting!!)

Pantone are going ‘peach fuss’ for their colour of the year 2024. Will your bouquet embrace the look? I know some of you have it on order already😉 (My own bedroom walls circa 1989 were a true homage to 80s peach, I feel my age when I realise how many times it’s come and gone through its fashion phases since!)

Centrepieces are a very noticeable piece of the table decorations, keeping them low allows the guests to enjoy their time together without feeling separated through conversations!
If In doubt of your centrepiece being too simple,make your centrepiece wide and eye catchy! Adding different textures and effects such as these beautiful candles, which are all made in different shapes and sizes add interest to your table beautifully…
These flower filled wreaths are used as a bold statement piece, adding a pop of colour to the charcoal decorations; the greenery really sets of the wanted Scandinavian theme!

Why not spice up your wintery wedding with these gorgeous cakes!
Instead of having a traditional wedding cake at this festive time of year, why not have the beautiful, rich kransekake as an alternative!

Holding such an important role in your big day …🍰
Some people may wonder why a cake? The tradition of a wedding cake comes from Roman times when they would crumble the cake over the brides head to provide good luck…
This beautiful white FIVE LAYERED cake really is the perfect fit for the chosen opulent blush wedding style. By including overlaying detailing;inverted from second to the fifth tier,it adds an elegant touch to this gorgeous cake. Delicate crafted gold patterning is so effective in providing the clean and classical look which also matches the gold leaves peeping out of the mixed roses, peonies and hydrangeas.

These bundles of Joy really create A showstopper of a cake!

Classic blush and sage green foliage are all you need to create a classical romantic look to your bouquet. ⁠
I love working with brides to make the recipe for their bouquet one that both embraces this timeless look but has personal touches too that make it their own.⁠

A few new followers have joined me so I thought I would show my face and say hello. (Not my current look obvs, I’m not camera keen!) So here I am circa 1988, when one of my dreams started, as I fell in love with my aunts bridal bouquet.
I do have a clear memory of asking if the floral foam was edible so I think it’s safe to say I’ve come on quite a journey since then but my love of pretty flowers has never faltered. -
Five work related facts about me Favourite flower- ranunculus Favourite season for flowers(& life)-Spring
Favourite cake-coffee and pecan Favourite thing to make- (not an actual item) but it’s to make people smile when they receive the things I have made.
My motivation to be successful- two awesome daughters who look to me as a role model. -
