From April last year. I always say to tilt your bouquet down slightly so that the top is nice and visible. However, I’m loving the peek of black ribbon on this one.
On a side note, I lost this jacket, and after a year of searching I may have just realised I left it behind during this wedding set up!

I think I’m all caught up and ready to switch off for a night at 🎉
Enjoy valentines, the first married one for my couples of the past year ❤️ including and Sam, who’s wedding these candelabra flowers were for at

Sorry guys, there’s no Valentine’s Day flowers from me this year. There will however be Mothers Day, so keep a look out 💛

Valentines is always tricky for me. We have 3 family birthdays during the week, and this year I’m escaping to a spa for the night too! As much as I love making you all flowers, I am siding with the spa stay this year 😂

I’m finally and slowly sorting through photos that couples and photographers have been so kind to send me. So excited to share them with you all. After handing over the wedding flowers, receiving photos/reviews has to be my second favourite part of the job ❤️

Looking back on past winter weddings.
K&A. I had the absolute pleasure of flowering this wedding twice. For a covid restricted ceremony and then an all out anniversary celebration 🎉

For your first photo of 2024 from me, you can have Georgia and her Bridesmaids at taken by
Mainly because she’s my sister in law and I’m missing her and my brother lots while they’re living it up .
I’m easing myself into 2024. It’s looking a bit quieter than last and I’m ok with that, but also would be ecstatic to hear from you if you’re still in need of a florist for this year or next. Just pop me a message x

So pleased to say this year we supported Forever Stars with £3 from each place at the Wreath Workshops and also the Festive Flower arranging at The Lace Market Hotel. I’ve just sent over £156 to this very deserving local charity who also provided me with leaflets for all the attendees. Please take a look at this charity and what they do.
Thank you to everyone who made a wreath with me and helped support this cause too.

How can this be 6 years ago?!

Still a very special day for Forever Stars, enabling both hospitals to have a bereavement suite for baby loss families.

The Serenity Suites were the start of something so special with Forever Stars, thank you to everyone that had joined us along the way.

We never believed that within 6 years we’d also be providing a baby loss remembrance garden and have a centre to support baby loss families.

Thank you xx

As usual you will spend an indulgent few hours crafting your very own seasonal wreath to adorn your door right through into the new year. Making a moss base from scratch, layering on fragrant foliages and decorating with a choice of trimmings. Soak up the atmosphere with festive drinks and snacks while enjoying the creative process and having a natter. All materials, tools, refreshments and charity donation included. Just bring along an apron and gloves if you wish, it can be messy business.
