Blooms by Julie

Blooms by Julie Offering bespoke funeral flower arrangments, and a fun approach to learning floristry, with creative classes and workshops. Studio based and appt needed.

I have always had a passion for flowers, but how did this all begin for me? I was looking for a new challenge, something I would enjoy and could fit around my family life. I had been asked many times to arrange flowers for friends and family, and I loved it when Christmas came as I would see this as an opportunity to go wild with flowers!!! "When someone loves their job it not only shows in their

work but to their attitude to their work." This I truly believe. My dream started off after chatting to a friend over coffee, and sometimes the occasional cake!! We both had a strong sense of needing a new challenge in our lives, our children were growing up too fast. We wanted to have something we could get our teeth into, and after much discussion we both had our light bulb moments. Mine being Floristry. At the start I did consider a shop , but after careful deliberation and much to my relief now opted to direct my business from a home studio. I built my workshop with the help of a clever carpenter, and now I have a place I'm happy to welcome clients into for Workshops and consultations. It works for me, and gives me somewhere to go when I have to immerse myself in flowers. This year (2017) I took the plunge to make my next big investment, a suitable vehicle for transporting my precious flowers. So when I deliver flowers for you or to your next big event, keep a look out for me, you won't miss me. 2017 has been a great year so far meeting lots of lovely new clients and I must say my family have been amazingly supportive of my new found love in floristry, my children have suddenly learnt to cook!!! Thank you to everyone who supports me and my business and helps me keep my passion alive, I look forward to offering my services to you all and many new clients for a many great years to come.

Tulips: Beautiful but a Little Rebellious!

I love tulipsā€”theyā€™re full of history, elegance, and a little bit of drama! Did you know they were once more valuable than gold during Tulip Mania in the 1600s? Or that they keep growing even after being cut? Oh, and they donā€™t just sit still in an arrangementā€”they actually move, twisting and turning toward the light!

Lovely, right? But hereā€™s where things get trickyā€¦

When designing funeral tributes, I want every stem to stay exactly where I place it. Tulips, however, have a mind of their own. What starts as a perfectly arranged tribute can shift over time as they stretch and bend, which isnā€™t ideal when creating something so meaningful.

Thatā€™s why I tend to use tulips carefully in funeral workā€”either in a way that embraces their natural movement or opting for more reliable blooms when precision is key.

Have you ever noticed tulips growing or bending in a vase at home? Itā€™s fascinating (and slightly frustrating!). Let me know in the comments! šŸŒ·

Motherā€™s Day is a time of love and celebration, but for many, it carries a quiet ache. To those who have lost their mums, those longing to be mothers, those who have lost children, and those for whom this day feels heavyā€”you are seen, and your feelings are valid.

However you spend today, may you feel held in kindness.

Spring flowers are here! šŸŒæāœØ

Nothing lifts the mood quite like the sight (and scent!) of seasonal blooms. From delicate anemones to beautifully scented lilac, spring brings a whole mix of colours and textures to play with.

Here are some of my favourites this season:

šŸŒø Daffodils ā€“ because nothing says spring like these little rays of sunshine!
šŸŒæ Tulips ā€“ so many colours, so little time!
šŸŒø Ranunculus ā€“ layers and layers of petal perfection.
šŸŒæ Hellebores ā€“ understated but oh-so-elegant.
šŸŒæ Blossom ā€“ cherry, apple, hawthornā€¦ just dreamy.

Which oneā€™s your favourite? Or do you have a go-to spring flower that brings you joy? šŸŒ·šŸ’› Drop it in the comments! ā¬‡ļø

Eco floristry

Iā€™m learning new skills because the PLANET šŸŒ needs change and action, and so do I .

The changes we face can be scary, I know this as I can overthink just like the audio in this post. My question for you is does the future of our Planet and our childrenā€™s futures matter to you?

Reducing the nastiest within the floral industry and my business in particular is a little step towards making a difference.

Please follow along and see the results of my changes.

MY VIBES WITH FLOWERS

Adding movement with this clematis makes this vase of blooms ooze feminine vibes for me.
This kind of movement adds a touch of feminine elegance, evoking the beauty of nature in its most organic form. Itā€™s not rigid or overly structured; itā€™s fluid, light, and enchanting.

Find a florist whoā€™s vibes you love, then every bouquet they create for you will be your vibe too!

Wow how beautiful is the Season of Spring!

It was my intention to take some spring flowers down to my Salvation Army Church today,however when I noticed two of the stems of Clematis were wilting, I was a little disappointed as I had only purchased them on Tuesday, so I thought Iā€™d take on the role of flower nurse, (is there such a thing)

Anyway I got to work by trimming the said stems again and popped them both into a few inches of hot water.

To say it worked a trick, well is an understatement. After a couple of hours they both perked right up. Needless to say you would have never noticed.

Little did I realise the impact that my visit this morning to church was to have on me too. Not only did the flowers look beautiful, but I had a little heart to heart with my Salvation Army leader (and a couple of others too) and I was able to leave in a completely different mindset.

So what have I learnt from this? Just like the little flower who needed my floral knowledge (care and some attention) us humans also need somewhere to turn for a little nurturing, and knowing where to go to get the best help is so important, a place where I could trust the conversation would help me.

Where do you turn to for help? Floral or otherwise?

But what I love just as much as creating these arrangements is sharing my knowledge with other flower lovers. Thereā€™s a joy in watching someoneā€™s face light up when they learn how to build their own bouquet or confidently arrange flowers at home.

Whether itā€™s through my classes or casual chats with customers, my hope is always to inspire creativity and nurture a love for flowers in others.

Because flowers do more than just look pretty ā€” they bring comfort, connection, and a touch of natureā€™s magic into our lives. And if I can help someone discover that same love, then my work feels truly worthwhile.

If you want to ask any questions please message me, Iā€™d love to help!

From Slicing Meats to Arranging Blooms

Before flowers took over my life, I spent my days in a local, family-run butchers shop, arrangingā€¦ well, not exactly flowers! Think cheeses, cold meats, and bagging up raw steaks at the deli counter. It was a world away from what I do now, but looking back, it all makes sense.

Iā€™ve always loved working with my hands, creating something that brings people joyā€”whether it was a perfectly arranged platter back then or a heartfelt floral tribute today.

Now, instead of stacking the deli counter, Iā€™m filling my Southport-based studio with farewell flowers that tell a story and running relaxed, fun floristry classes for those who just want to play with flowers (without the pressure of making them ā€˜perfectā€™).

So if youā€™re looking for beautifully crafted funeral arrangements or fancy trying your hand at floristry, you know where to find me. And I promiseā€”no meat platters in sight!
