🥰 From the bottom of my happy heart - thank you!
🎄17 workshops, over 200 wreaths made (too many to fit in a reel and I also forgot to take pictures of some of them!), 20kg of pine cones, so many pretty bows, nearly 30 litres of AF mulled wine drank, plates and plates of cake and mince pies, but most of all - so much laughter.
⭐️ I loved hosting every single one of you and I hope to see you in 2025 for more creative workshops…
🎅🏻 1 more week to go in the shop to help you fill your homes with more botanical and floral delights and then we are putting our feet up for the rest of the year!

🎀 Ribbons… they are my obsession. My favourite ribbon changes with my mood… am I a dark sumptuous velvet today? Or perhaps a playful polka dot grosgrain?
🎄Anyway - if you are booked onto one of our Christmas Wreath Workshops, you can stand and delight at this in person while you decide which trim takes your fancy.

🎀 I’ve been meaning to do a video on how to make bows for YEARS! And this seemed like a good one to start with…
🎄Cute Christmas Tree decorations with a perfect Manx Tartan Ribbon bow - or use any ribbon that suits your tree decor.
🎁 All the materials I used in this are available to buy from my shop in Port Erin and I would be happy to give you a 1:1 tutorial on the bows if you like as well!
I’d love to know if you have a go at making these so please tag me in your photos ✨

💚 Make a living moss pole with me in 90 seconds!
Ok so it took around 10 minutes in real time but that is still a quick job if you have any plants like this that are getting a bit too big for their boots!
Living moss poles are a fantastic addition to your indoor plant care routine! 🌿 Here’s why:
🪴 1.Boosts Plant Growth: Moss poles provide a natural surface for climbing plants like Monsteras and Philodendrons to grow taller and fuller, mimicking their natural environment.
💦 2.Aids Moisture Retention: Moss holds moisture, which hydrates the aerial roots of your plants, promoting healthy, vigorous growth. Make sure to spray the moss with water to keep it fresh.
😍 3. Aesthetic Appeal: These living structures not only support plant growth but also add a lush, green focal point to your home.
🌱 4. Promotes Root Health: The aerial roots attach themselves to the moss, helping stabilise the plant and encouraging a stronger root system.
Upgrade your plant game with a living moss pole and watch your greenery thrive! 🌱 Visit our shop in Port Erin for all the materials featured in this reel!

✨ I love feedback from my clients but this one stood out recently…
“Thanks so much for the beautiful flowers. They were amazing, thanks for a great service with no dramas”
🤔 It just got me thinking… do people expect drama when they plan a wedding? I mean there are dramas but if you have hired professionals then it is them that do the worrying behind the scenes and definitely not you.
🌊 Let’s not talk about one of my weddings last week when my flower delivery was delayed for 2 days because of the cancelled boats and they arrived THE DAY OF THE WEDDING.
It was definitely me having the sleepless nights, not my gorgeous clients.
🥰 So for a stress free wedding, with no drama, I’m your girl. And I have a little black book of recommendations of trusted wedding professionals I am more than happy to pass on if you need them!

✋🏻Are any other florists tempted to put “look, please don’t touch” signs on their flowers?
🤦🏻♀️ It’s always the adults (especially after they have told their kids to not touch anything!) that debate whether my flowers are real and then have to test their theory by squishing the heads of my most expensive roses, sometime AFTER they have even asked me and I’ve told them they are all fresh!
🗣️so here is a little PSA for you all - and I know I risk sounding a bit pedantic, but if you come in to mine or any florist - please don’t touch the flowers! Get your nose right up to them and have a sniff, but if you squeeze or touch the petals, the likelihood is you are going to leave a bruise there for the next person who wants to buy them or I will end up having to bin them as they won’t be fit to sell.
💜 these beauties are a bit like Marmite - the are Rose Amnesia - some love the colour, some hate it… what do you think?
#isleofman #isleofmanflorist #handsofftheflowers #lookdonttouch #amnesiarose
🌷Now you can purchase these beauties on their own, or I have made the small sizes available as a kit with a selection of dried stems, posted straight to your door - you just have to provide the vase or jar and bring the beauty of artisanal craftsmanship and timeless florals into your home. 🌸 Each ceramic frog is unique with impressions of wild flowers and grasses and flowery phrase in English and Manx - what a perfect gift they would make! ➡️ order online or call into our Port Erin shop to see the full range of designs 🔗 https://flowerstudio.im/flower-delivery-isle-of-man/dried-flowers/ceramic-flower-frog-kit#isleofman #isleofmanflorist #isleofmanartist #gaelg #learnmanx #flowerarranging #handmade #flowerfrog #sustainablefloristry
✨ How could I even pick a favourite? ✨🌸 I love that after being in business for over 15 years, the couples that as me to create their wedding florals come to me because they love my style. 💐 I love natural style florals, locally grown and seasonal where possible, giving that ‘just picked from the garden’ vibe. 🌺 If you are looking for anything dyed or with diamante pins in the flowers then I’m not the girl for you! #isleofman #goodfloristguide #nationalfloristday #weddingflowers #isleofmanflorist #weddingflorist
