Surrey based floral design studio specialising in the wildly beautiful and unexpected.

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.

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!

Chelsea Flower Show Journey - Part 2! In 2023 I worked again with on their beautiful Main Avenue stand. I also created a hanging wreath installation for the lovely

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!

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!

Happy Fete du Muguet, or May Day as we say in the UK. Muguet is the French for Lily of the Valley. Posies of this beautiful bloom are gifted to celebrate spring and renewal, and wish happiness and good luck.

I have a carpet of Lily of the Valley growing underneath my Magnolia, but it’s not ready to flower just yet. Another week perhaps. Here’s hoping! So delicate and richly perfumed. I love it!

Traditional May Day activities include harvesting flowers and branches, and creating floral garlands. Decorating your home with nature to welcome in the spring. I shall absolutely be flowering today, whilst wearing my favourite Fete du Muguet dress by .dress (photo 3)!

Soon I shall be back creating floral designs for clients at This shall be my fourth consecutive year flowering at Chelsea, so I thought I’d recap on past years. Sharing some insights into my Chelsea journey, and the reality of floristry behind the scenes at the world’s most fabulous flower show!

My first Chelsea was in 2022, when I won an online competition to join a trade stand as their floral designer. I worked for the brilliant team on their beautiful stand, which was designed by the wonderful

The whole team were so supportive and lovely. It was a boiling hot day. Mad hot! Sweating in my high vis whilst trying not to show how overwhelmed I felt! This is the year I met and whose beautiful vessels were such a joy to work with. To say these ladies enrich my life, is an understatement.

Flowers were all British grown and sourced from and

It was a long day. Then, a midweek refresh to deliver plus lots of hospitality fun in the evenings, as well as helping with the plant sell off on Saturday at 4pm. The plant sell off is madness. They sound the cannons, literally, and then it’s like a feeding frenzy! Obviously, I caught the Chelsea bug and had to return. You can never do Chelsea just the once!

1. The original Jar of Joy.
2. Just a few of the florals used.
3-4. High vis action!
5. This vase weighed a ton! Now part of my vessel collection. A post show treat to myself.
6-7. All finished and ready for judging.
8. Yes, I also look that haunted in my passport photo.
9. Behind the scenes glamour!
10. Refreshing on a side table with champagne, darling.
11. The jug of dreams!
