A glimpse at monthly subscriptions that went out today. I have called this bouquet style ‘perspective’. The idea being that although the composition is beautiful as a whole, within it each flower is placed at a different height. This enables you to enhance your focus on every individual bloom in turn - effectively zooming in on its unique form, and then zooming out, to take in the full picture.

Which way do you prefer to look at flowers?

Very excited to announce my new collaboration with ! 3 hours immersed in eco-floristry foraging and making at the beautiful lakeside reserve of the The Nature Discovery Centre. This is somewhere I’ve made lovely memories with my little apprentice and our best friends so it will be extra special to walk these paths with my floristry hat on instead of my Mummy one. Both metaphorical hats of course, because unless it’s a bike helmet or a flower crown it’s not going on my head. Spaces are bookable for the Spring session by following the link in my bio. Come and play! Any questions, of course DM, text, phone, email…

Happy International Women’s Day One and All! A special bunch of tulips here for the birthday of my best and curliest friend! Her birthday falling in the same week as International Women’s Day seemed like a pretty good reason to acknowledge one of the most thoughtful, expressive, sensitive, intelligent, unique, caring and all round beautiful people I am lucky enough to have in my life, with a splash of vibrant petals. Which wonderful women might you celebrate this weekend?

Thank you for gorgeous tulips as always.

One of the things I love about foraging for ingredients in local gardens is the unpredictability. Even visiting the 2 familiar locations I cut from for this design, I couldn’t have told you beforehand what it would have looked like. I had a hopeful inkling that virburnum would be involved, being one of the few winter-flowering plants at my disposal. The joyous surprise here for me was the fern. Big, bold green fronds dancing in the breeze, standing out against the grey of the day. Ferns are often used as a backdrop in traditional floral arrangements. Their large diamond-shaped leaf formation tesselates seamlessly to create outlines for conventional funeral sprays, or they are placed around the edge of a bouquet as a frame for the flowers within. I wanted to capture the fun of spotting them in that garden and to celebrate this humble plant and place it centre stage. It’s waving at you from the middle of these designs, saying “Look at me! I’m a fern and I’m fabulous!” Curiosity blooms.

The Joy of Creating Bespoke Designs
This sounds cheesy but the reason I love designing wedding and funeral flowers tailored to individual people is that we go on a journey together. 9 times out of 10, people I work with will never have created a floral aesthetic before, and often these are people I am meeting for the first time. This could feel daunting but remember, we are both experts in exactly what we need to be (plus I love making new flowery friends!): You know all about you or the members of your bridal party or the loved one you are grieving and I know how to use locally grown flowers and foliage as a beautiful visual language whatever the season. We talk in depth, I sketch, you reflect and hey presto! We’ve collaborated to create a gorgeous, sustainable design aesthetic that is uniquely you. If you’ve got someone or something you’d like to honour in flowers, I’d love to hear your story. You’re very welcome to email me on [email protected] if social media responses aren’t your preference.

Due to my lack of enthusiasm for both mathematics and web design I am thrilled to announce that I’ve finished updating the Green Feather wedding flower web page for the 2025/6 season - hooray! For inspiration on wedding flowers, to book for your celebration or just to peruse some beautiful floral pictures from talented wedding photographers, take a look at the link in my bio.

January is a reflective time for me and I so appreciate these calmer moments to look back and evaluate what worked in the previous year and make plans for the upcoming season. 2024 was filled with opportunities to explore and celebrate our wonderful British flora with both people who have supported me from the beginning (heading into Year 4 of Green Feather now) and friendly new faces too. Here’s a glimpse of some of why I’ve started 2025 feeling extremely grateful:

1. Embracing an 80’s colour palette with stunning Lincolnshire tulips grown by in February
2. Summery smiles from participants at the June session of my foraged floristry workshops at
3. Deeply personal and special summer memorial flowers for the internment of an inspiring and much-loved woman.
4. Wildlife-inspired wedding florals brandished beautifully by Emily & James, captured gorgeously by in August
5. The bride with the BIG bouquet and the most adorable accomplice, you guys know who you are!
6. A cocktail of soft, textured and rich for Nicole & Alex’s bespoke wedding scheme in September
7. Congratulations Phili & Steve! Exquisite portrait by
8. The most wholesome workday in November collaborating with Sanctara Sounds by Jo in the beautiful Padworth woodland
9. POV: When your 2 year old’s “helping” empty the bin bucket
10. Rounding off the year with a beer or 3 and wreathmaking workshop once again at

Thank you to and for the high-quality phenomenal locally grown flowers, and to my generous garden foraging permissions around Reading 💚

I was blown away by how quickly spaces were snapped up for our 3rd year of foraged wreath-making workshops at our welcoming and delicious ! Our 2 groups were brilliant fun, full of festive enthusiasm and made incredibly beautiful decorations from materials foraged with their own fair hands; each wreath as unique as their fingerprints.

I wish you could lean in and smell the fresh herbal, citrus scents of these gorgeous creations. The whole taproom smelled like Christmas. And all thanks to ingredients in our local gardens, woods and parks. Thank you nature, thank you jolly participants!

Why not come and engage your senses a workshop next year? Seasonal sessions will run throughout the year and I’ll be planning the workshops soon so if there’s a floristry skill you’d like to learn to create sustainably I’d love to hear from you!

Whatever your Christmas looks like, may there be merry moments ✨✨✨
