Mabel Ann Oldfield Hooper joined the team on January 2nd ❤️

Life with two is a little crazy but wonderful, I'm equal parts exhausted and so happy.

I hope you had a good Christmas and New Year! Missing my business also desperate to absorb all the newborn cuddles. It's goes way too fast.

Alas the time has come, I can waddle around my garage no more 🤰🏼

I'll be starting my maternity leave today and will be off for the foreseeable future. I won't be doing Valentine's or Mother's Day next year but hope to be back at some point next summer.

I want to thank everyone who has placed an order with me, liked/shared/commented on a post or given an encouraging word. It all means so much to me.

Working for yourself can at times be stressful and unpredictable and there have been times recently when this pregnancy has pushed me to my limit. But I'm still so grateful to do what I do, losing myself in floristry and being creative has at times been the thing that's kept going.

Taking a break from your own business feels like you're letting go of something very precious but I will be back. And I know right now, family and health has to come first.

Sending you all love this Christmas and thank you again for sticking with me.

S & B tied the knot at the Roman Baths in September. A sunrise ceremony was followed by a reception at The Ivy. I worked with S & B during the last few weeks of their planning to help pull all the details together and coordinate the arrangements on the day. I also had the pleasure of providing their reception flowers.

" Just a message really to express our sincere appreciation for your great help on the day of our wedding. Not one single glitch on the day (or at least I don't think there was!), and you were so helpful. Everything was simply beautiful. Especially the flowers - they were stunning.

We've had many compliments about the wedding but I feel the day only went as well as it did because of you and our other Vendors.
A big thank you! "

Darker tones taking us through into November.

Darker tones paired with warmer peach shades has always been a favourite of mine. It's gives a feeling of richness without being overpowering.

Wildflower meadow boxes created for Marisol & Matt this summer and used for their table centrepieces.

Working with Marisol and Matt was an absolute pleasure and I loved bringing their vision to life...

" It is difficult to convey to a vendor your vision when it’s not exactly depicted by an Instagram or Pinterest photo you can point at. My husband and I had a clear vision of how we wanted the florals for our big day to look. Rachel was able to deliver that and more with only the help of a few meetings and a couple of mood boards, and managed to get our vision exactly as it was in our heads. "
