A few years ago we were caught flower handed when prepping for @harrogateflowershow at the completely beautiful @newbyhallandgardens . We dressed the gallery full of Roman statues with floaty clouds ☁️ of gyp and orchids. The show is finally being aired this Tuesday night on @channel5_tv at 7pm.
It’s amazing how much gyp we have seen used over the past few years!
Listening here there is no doubt I’m from Yorkshire and completely proud to be so!

Sending you all love from our beautiful valley 🌕
Really starting to get excited when I think about all the exciting things to come this year. 2023 had some spectacular moments and I’m sure 2024 will too. We are busy behind the scenes planning some completely breathtaking weddings and events. It’s an absolute privilege this job and with my brilliant team I’m super excited about the year ahead.
Ps if you have got that Sunday feeling then make sure to have some floral joy in your future! A floral fix be it a 2 hour class or 5 days of creative learning I promise it’s a winner!

Blow out the candles and make a wish .. its been quite the week.. I have been in bed since Monday with a hideous virus, so many have got it this year it’s wipers me out. Feeling grateful for access to food and healthcare and medicine. Grateful to be where we are.
This was last years table for @yorkshirelifemag full of colour and joy. Wishing you a happy healthy peaceful festive season, huge thanks to my brilliant team this year, incredible incredible as always. 2023 has been epic in so many ways. Lots of high highs and low lows. I’m ready for 2024 after some special family time. Biggest loves and very Merry Christmas to you all xXx
Seek the joy..

Driving in the fog with my kids to get this beautiful tree, carrying and slipping down the farm track.. struggling to get her home!
A mix of decoration from years of kids makes, gifts and ribbon and stars and birds..
A beacon of lights in the dark nights..
Love and light to you and yours 🎄

Absolute pinch me moment! Our festive home in @yorkshirelifemag! A gorgeous article by Beth who came to shoot the house and interview me all about how to dress your home for the festive season.
It’s full of hints and tips so pop out a get a copy. Hope you enjoy it! Here are a few BTS from the day itself.
Huge thank you to @mua_chrys.chapman for making me feel super glam and to @joebrowns for my devore dress ( previously gifted)
How to create drama in a marquee?
Think layers, colour and think big 💭
Colour - focus on tints, tones and shades 🎨 to add depth and texture.
Make a statement with a bold entrance that can be used as a photo backdrop or something large in the ceiling or above the bar / dance floor 💕
Use layers to add the wow factor, where people will look where they walk in, what they will see when they sit and when they dance. 🪩
Work with all your suppliers for a seamless look, tablecloths/ napkins and coloured candles can make a huge difference.
Any advice or questions drop us a message ☀️

💗🌸🧡Pastel perfection for this bride last year working with @shendereyevents @theoldswan x
Scented inspiration.. our darling bride Gemma celebrated @middletonlodge this week. We first met @gemmaandfleur through @jomalonelondon York with her fabulous Mum Judith. We have met them now on many creative classes from flower crowns to Christmas wreaths. We bonded over a love of scent! So it was only right for Gemma’s bouquet to feature as much as possible. It had peonies which I secretly sourced as they are scarce in August but Gemma’s favourite. It had scented pelargonium leaves, white freesia, eucalyptus and O’Hara roses. We dressed @middletonlodge Fig house with an abundance of scented herbs In terracotta which complimented the venue perfectly. It was great to see our friends @wheretheribbonends and to meet the lovely @garywalshphoto x
