Ways with beans. Part 2.

A tangled botanical tablescape created with bounty from the allotment, and other places.

It reminds me of long aquatic plants flowing beneath the surface of a river. That was the vibe I was going for anyway!

Mechanics are a weighted chicken wire shape, with strategically placed clear glass vessels and the odd pin cup/Kenzan.

Exploring new materials which excite me, is a core focus of my work. I like to challenge myself to see the beauty and potential in unexpected or unconventional materials i.e materials which are not explicitly or traditionally ‘pretty’.

To remove the constraints which we as florists often place upon ourselves, and try something new.

That’s why there has been piles of Sycamore in the studio this week!

Whenever I create a design, no matter how big or small, I am always striving to evoke a sense of place.

These beautiful wild roses were an unexpected find. They immediately reminded me of tumbling flagstone walls, where wild rambling roses entwine and romp freely through the cracks and wild margins of Cumbria.

Here, I have used a mixture of cut stems and foliage plants, combined with various hidden vessels filled with Kenzan and chicken wire. The rocks evoke the tumbling walls, and also hide all the mechanics.

Roses and giant allium sourced from
Rocks, plants and other snippings from my garden.

Although I do appreciate and admire the traditional ‘pretty’ florals of Roses, Peonies etc, they never quite excite and inspire me like the textural mad stuff!

I’m a big fan of the Bottle Brush Bush. Never seen a creamy yellow one before! Inevitably, I’m now obsessed and have set upon a quest to find one for my own garden…

never fails to ignite my botanical passions, whatever time of year I visit.

Another day, another crown! A more neater design than my Miscanthus offerings, but still rather voluminous. There’s a lot of stems in there! Each design takes several hours to create, and the resulting crowns sit proud on the head. You don’t even need to tie the ribbon to secure them, but I do recommend it, especially if you’re dancing in a forest at midnight!

Chelsea you were a dream! This year has been the best one yet. Thank you to my wonderful client who not only creates the most exciting vessels to work with, but who is also a lovely and down to earth person.

Lou’s new frilly bowls caused a sensation! Placed prominently on both her trade stand and on the bar of All filled with an abundance of British grown blooms using Kenzan and chicken wire.

Some beautiful British grown florals arranged in water, as nature intended. The product of a slow and rather blissful afternoon.

All flowers grown by except the grass, Nigella and Jasmine which were grown by myself. Oh, and a few weeds from a car park too!

A wonderful testimonial from a recent dried goddess crown workshop client. I love crafting bespoke floral experiences. There’s a lot of planning, care and attention to detail that goes into each event. To receive such a glowing review is so rewarding, and means so much on both a business and personal level.

Get in touch via the link in bio to enquire about an equally fabulous bespoke floral experience!

I’d learned a huge amount in the first year, and felt much more prepared on all levels. For Gaze Burvill I worked again with who curated a fabulous selection of vessels. All the flowers were supplied by .proust Their Ranunculus were so amazing! The refresh happened mid week - swipe to see the trolley full of blooms that survived National Rail, a black cab and a very crowded showground!

For Annie, I used Dutch product to create a hardy hanging installation which had grace, movement and texture. Built onto a one meter circular willow wreath frame, which had been woven by my dad. It look beautiful all week despite it being mad hot and in full sun a lot of the time!

So many stories from this year. Too many to type out here. The behind the scene chaos was something else!

1-2. Pastel perfection.
3. The biggest arrangement that year. Those Iris were amazing!
4. With the wonderful L&N
5-6. More British grown perfection.
7. A heavily laden floral trolley!
8. Black cab en route.
9. Refreshing on a very stylish bench.

On Saturday I held a private thirteen person dried goddess crown workshop at a beautiful barn location, for a Glastonbury themed hen weekend.

We had the best time! Everyone made such accomplished crowns, despite never making them before. I love how everyone had the same ingredients (except the Bride to Be, who had some extra treats - swipe to see her bespoke box of materials), but made a crown unique to them.

All British grown florals except the Miscanthus, which I sourced fresh from Holland and then dried in the studio a few weeks in advance.

These crowns will last for years when stored correctly. There was even talk of a few making an appearance at the wedding in a few weeks time!
