It's FRIDAY!! Thank goodness...
.. And with half term and Hallowe'en, just around the corner and Bonfire night soon after, you'll be headlong into Christmas prep before you know it!

Perhaps, now is the time to schedule in a little bit of "me-time" before the madness of Christmas properly kicks in.

I'm hugely honoured to be asked to host Christmas Wreath-Making Workshops at Chartwell National Trust once more. Such a beautiful place, just a stone's throw from Sevenoaks.

All materials, equipment and festive refreshments are included and BONUS - entry to Chartwell is also included, so you can stretch out that "me-time" to the whole day should you wish to. Tickets have recently been released and some of the sessions are already almost booked up, so message your mate, partner, family member and get it in the diary.

Chartwell and I look forward to seeing you.

One of the most important aspects of my job as a florist is farewell flowers.

It’s a huge privilege to help people at their most desperately sad time decide upon the best floral tributes to send their loved ones on their last journey.

With this in mind I’m going to be creating some specialist albums showcasing all of the options, so that future clients can easily find ideas and inspiration, most importantly with transparent pricing.

If you happen to know someone going through grief who’d like their hand to be held, please send them to me, it’d be an honour to help x

Being asked to create funeral tributes by a grieving family is one of the biggest privileges. Whether the family just want to send me a picture of something they like, or if they want a face to face meeting, either way is fine with me.

I've created very many funeral tributes in my florist life and do my very best to interpret the family's ideas into something beautiful that just helps ease the pain a tiny little bit on the day.

Whether it be wildflower style coffin sprays, mixed flower hearts, classic crosses or the bespoke pieces such as frogs, owls, campervans, welly boots or even the shield of a Maasai Warrior - I create every one with heart and passion.

I'm just starting to update our funeral flower portfolio, so if you know anyone who might benefit from some guidance, please let them know about us.

I know it's January right, but my mind is firmly on Spring, which is when the wonderful Granville Spring Festival takes place - this year on Friday 22nd March!

Be the organised one - put your order in now for your daughter's Chaplet!

I've had the pleasure of making these beauties for years and I just love seeing the pics of your little cherubs wearing them - though these little cherubs are probably way into their late teens now!

The chaplets are £40 each with free delivery within the Sevenoaks area.

Happy New Year to you all!

So who of you managed to last all the way to the 12th night (today) to take down your Christmas decorations?

Or are you one of the impatient ones like me? We had the pleasure of family staying over at ours for New Year, but as soon as they were on the motorway home, I packaged away all of Christmas for another year, cleaned the house and dotted tulips everywhere!

I'm in full-on planning mode this next week or so - watch out for news on regular workshops I have planned, starting with a Mother's Day treat. Thanks to the lovely Doreen & Suzie for modelling!

“I love it, it’s beautiful!”

Was yesterdays autumnal appreciation.

I created this gorgeous thing for a lovely Edenbridge lady yesterday…
Cherry, maple, horse chestnut and eucalyptus leaves dressed with silver birch cones in the green and dried, along with rosehips, sloes, dried gypsophila, lavender and sedum then finished off with yellow helichrysum and a gold satin ribbon 😍

Lots of delicate items… it took a while, but I loved making it. Glad my client loved it too 🍂

PM or call me to order!

Did you know Princess Kate’s bouquet was largely made up of this delicate very seasonal flower 😍

Pinch Punch ... 1st Day of the month ... or Happy Fête du Muguet if you are in France. Either way it has to be Convallaria Majalis aka Lily of the Valley, not just the most expensive flower in the world (probably!!) but traditionally THE flower of May and all started by King Charles IX of France way back in 1561**. Tech hasn't got to the point we can send you all a bunch, but we can wish all our followers good luck, prosperity and oodles of happiness!

** History says that KIng Charles** received a bunch on May 1st and was told it would bring him good luck and prosperity over the coming year. Touched by the story he decided to present a bouquet of Lily of the Valley to every lady in his court and it’s a tradition that has carried on in France ever since. In flowerology terms Lily of the Valley also stands for absolute purity, youth, sincerity, and discretion but most of all happiness! Sounds good to us!

** Wonder if the new King Charles of UK will have any LOV anywhere at his Coronation next week? We suspect there will be a nod to his dear Mama's favourite.

Happy St. George’s Day 🥀

This royal throne of kings, this scepter’d isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall,
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England…

I'm sad that people may lose their jobs doing something they love but it is SOOOOO telling that even the Supermarkets are feeling the pinch of the incredible rise in flower prices. Not worth them using flowers as a loss leader now, it would seem.

However, I've had a great week of orders, shoots, collaborations and wedding enquiries, so onwards and upwards.

For the very best value and a smasher of a bouquet or arrangement, just leave it to me so I can pick the loveliest flowers for the best value - I won't let you down x🥀x

Morrisons, the UK's 5th largest supermarket has closed 26 of its florist shops. Is this a sign of the times ... are there lessons to be learned? Read the story on our website and see what the Editor has to say in her blog.
