A very Merry Christmas to all who have been a part of Studio Seapink this last year! I’m so grateful to all our clients, customers, suppliers and supporters - you really make this flowery work/life all possible. And 2025 looks like a year for even more growth - quite literally! Feeling excited for the next chapter. But for now, wishing you a festive time that is positively the cat’s whiskers. 🙏💚🐈‍⬛ 💫🌲 ###

Wintertime muse, master, dear old friend, the wreath. A structure on which to hang our idea of beauty. A place to incorporate all the foraged and gently gathered ingredients that shine out to us like glossy jewels in the diminished landscape. An ancient ritual connecting us to nature and this moment in the seasonal year.

This wreath speaks to me of familiar gardens, favourite wild places and lovely people I’m so fortunate to encounter in my little flowery world. A wreath for a special couple and their new home. Creating this and then just a few minutes taking pictures was just so peaceful. So grateful for it all. Sending warmest festive wishes to you all, hoping you find a little bit of beauty and peace too 🧡 ✌️💫

November, which is really pushing into the end of the local fresh flower season, gives us florals that are perhaps all the more special for their fleeting-ness. On this occasion I had the joy of mixing the last juicy toned roses and dahlias of the year with shades of smoky chrysanthemums mixed with loads of textures from the garden like rose hip, smoke bush and my current favourite accent - purple mange tout 😊 Thank you Katie for sharing your first pictures, it was so lovely to create your florals for this very special day 🧡

And with a final juicy flourish of fruity coloured blooms, our wedding season ends for another year! November is a time I often plan to lean into the tones and textures of everlasting dried flowers to create wedding florals with. After all, they mix so very well with the berries, seed heads and deep foliages of early Winter. But if there are still (gorgeous) fresh flowers available, I’ll most definitely use them. That is the joy of a seasonally lead approach and it certainly keeps me on my toes! Sharing just a few snaps for now from a very enjoyable day creating in the greenhouse…

For the wedding of K & H, bouquets and buttonholes with the best of November, gathered from and gardens I frequent. Flourishes of peachy, toasty and ivory silk velvet courtesy of and finished the bouquets perfectly.

Huge congratulations to my lovely couple, thank you for your trust, it’s been a total joy to be your florist.

At this point in the year I get such a bittersweet feeling. As the local flower growing season ceases, I really miss all the gorgeous blooms, pine for them even. I love early Autumn but resist a bit at the idea of deeper Autumn and Winter. I know it’s all part of moving on, rolling with the seasons; and there will come a moment (soon) when I’ll be in love with what’s coming next, but right now I’m in florist limbo… 🍂🌸

So, a wee look back to some beautiful flowery times - can’t believe this was over a year ago! A wonderful day of flowers, learning and great company.
Grateful for it all 🙏

Sending Halloween greetings with this little bit of fun from last year. Looks like I still had flowers in the garden then and a lucky wee assortment of pumpkins to play with…this year we’ve just one ginormous wonky pumpkin the kids fell in love with and a few straggly dahlias left - so I’ll spare you the horror! Happy guising xx

For the wedding ceremony of J & D 🧡
A pair of early Autumn flower filled urns, just catching the morning light in this beautiful spot in the shelter of the historic Dunglass Church.
These arrangements were later moved into the pavilion, becoming part of the reception decor, where we also filled tables with bowls, bottles and tall candles for the festivities. Such a gorgeous wedding! Can’t wait to see more imagery from the wonderful but for now, some phone snaps and snippets…

Ah, Autumn - is that you? 🍂🌸🌾🍁
I came across these pictures today (amidst a very frustrating technology episode) and they brought back such wonderful memories of flowering with lovely folk and snapping pictures in the poly tunnel. Which it’s almost time to do again! The last of this year’s seasonal workshops there, ‘Gather & Arrange - Autumn Vases’ is coming up at the end of this month. Would you like to join us for this last hurrah? We’d love to see you.
All the details are on my website and there are just a few spaces left - please email me to book a space. Thanks to those who have already booked, I’m very excited as I love these sessions 🧡
And, despite the technology challenges, there’s a new blog now up on the website too. I’ve been reflecting on the last (almost) two years of the Gather & Arrange workshops so if you’re interested in the why, the what, the where and what really is Paula’s favourite moment of the year on the farm, do take a look and let me know what you think?
Newsletter subscribers have mail too 😉 Who even am I today?! Phew, back to gardening and a lovely, lovely wedding to prep for the rest of the week…

Such a beautiful wedding! Thank you A & S, it was a total joy 💚🌸🫶

I’ve had a bit of a posting hiatus over the Summer holidays but I shared this picture to my Stories the other day and I had such a nice response, thank you. This picture was snapped by my lovely clients in their garden this week and it just seems to capture a sweet moment of joy. Then I realised it’s exactly a year since I started working in this space, a place I’ve learned so much in and from. So it feels good to mark this little occasion on the grid!
Embracing gardening as part of my work has expanded my mind, challenged me and improved my health and wellbeing in so many ways. Feeling very, very grateful for it and for what’s still to come 💚 🙏🌸🪴

I find growing spaces so inspiring and beautiful, full of life and complexity yet also so simple, so charming, so inviting. And so it was the other week at , Lauren & Louisina’s flower farm just outside Glasgow. Time just evaporated as we explored the field and tunnels, enjoying the diversity of colours, form and scents of their beautiful flowers and foliage. We snipped stems and created simple bowls of blooms more for the joy of using these characterful flowers than for any particular outcome - to look at them, to admire them, to appreciate their beauty. What a day! Thank you L & L.
💚
This is exactly the sort of inspiring and fulfilling experience that I hope (and think you’ll find 😉) at the ‘Gather & Arrange - Summer Meadows’ workshop coming up . It too is a wonderful growing space, a place I love to visit and bring others into to immerse ourselves in a bit of flowery creativity! It’s on Sat 29th June, 10 - 12.30 and £70. Full details are on my website and I have just a couple of spaces left now, so do let me know pronto if this sounds like something you’d enjoy too.

This year the Bearded Irises in our garden finally flowered. This is one of the last buds to bloom from a tall variety called ‘Role Model’, saved and brought indoors during recent high winds, it’s opened sitting on the window sill.
Statuesque and bold, soft and ephemeral, I’ve felt bewitched by the Irises in the last few weeks.
But it’s a continual hello and goodbye, this gardening lark isn’t it? So, till next year (I hope).
🙏💚

It’s almost workshop time again! And I just can’t wait to be back Mill Pond Flower Farm with you for ‘Gather & Arrange - Summer Meadows’.
It’s just the best kind of floral immersion - wandering the flower field for inspiration, picking stems that catch your eye then combining them artfully into little arrangements full of life and colour! And all the while being surrounded by the sounds of bird song and buzzy pollinators, the company of lovely folk and fuelled by cups of tea and sweet treats.
Sound like your kind of morning?? Then please do get in touch, I have just a few spaces left. Full details are on my website, link in bio. 🙌🙌

Something lovely we did in May!

On Thursday the lovely Natalie of came to the studio for a 1:1 workshop and it was such a joy to share skills and knowledge with her! As you know, Studio Seapink is all about using locally grown and seasonal flowers - and her request was for her session to focus on sharpening her hand-tie bouquet making and presentation skills for retail, building on her existing knowledge. We also covered flower prep and conditioning, using different flowers and foliage for various designs, ideas for new foliages to grow for cutting, pricing and lots and lots of flowery business chat too including the all important work life balance 😊. What a great day! Thanks so much for coming Natalie, you’re an absolute flower star 🌟🌸💚

If you’re interested in exploring or refining a particular aspect of working creatively with local and seasonal flowers - or even just to have a bit of floral immersion through a 1:1, just send me a message or email and we can chat about creating a session bespoke to your needs. I’d be delighted to hear from you 💚

Flowers were sourced from with some English peonies and stocks and a few additions from my garden. All materials used were compostable and recyclable.

And it’s May! And it’s Friday! And it’s peak Spring! The speed of growth and abundance happening all around us is just incredible right now - it somehow feels like nature is in a huge hurry. Or perhaps I’m just noticing these kind of shifts more now I’m spending more time outdoors as my weekly work now includes gardening as well as floristry. Which I absolutely love.
There’s been a lot going on lately chez Studio Seapink, lots of planning for the flowering year ahead as well as some exciting new things. I begin some study next week - I’m doing the RHS Level 2 in Horticulture - because I’m just fascinated with gardens and growing and wildlife as well as flowers and it feels like a natural progression in my work at this time to follow this interest. Gardening is influencing my floristry and my floristry is influencing my gardening 🤪
But lately I’ve felt a little out of sync with the online world so I’ve not been as present on here, but I’ll hopefully feel able to share more about what I’m getting up to soon. A sense of community and connecting with like minded souls is important to me and I really appreciate that on here, so thank you.
These pictures are from a very happy day in very good company this time last year, when the abundance of Spring was just as evident as it is today. Instagram reminded me of it!
Have a lovely weekend, folks xx
