All of our Christmas Wreath Making Classes are now available to book and we will be working from a variety of locations during November and early December.

As always we will be working with the very best seasonal foliage including eucalyptus, pittosporum, ferns and bay.

We will have beautiful on trend Christmas accessories and ribbons to complete your wreath.

Everybody leaves the class with a beautiful Christmas Wreath for their home and many of you return year after year to come and get creative at Christmas.

Please email, visit our website or drop a message via Facebook or Instagram if you’d like to book a spot.

Spaces are filling up very quickly this year. I’ve deliberately kept the prices low and the same as last year to make this accessible for everyone.

• hanging installations •

The perfect addition to a marquee or tipi - or any space with a vast ceiling. They encourage guests to look up, they add interest and the wow factor. They mean you don’t have to go crazy with table decor so guests can chat and mingle without flowers obscuring the view.

Have you thought about having a flower cloud or hanging installation for your marquee wedding?

Here’s some photos from some weddings I’ve done there. It’s a really beautiful place ❤️

It’s been a while since I’ve posted here and throughout the month of March I’ve been taking part in Joanne Hawker Design & Illustration its a initiative to raise awareness of creative businesses and an opportunity to share a bit more about what we do.
Today the theme was challenges and I have written about the challenges of Covid and how it affected the wedding industry.
This beautiful wedding was postponed several times but was more than worth the wait. Such a gorgeous day to be involved with and flowers to create ❤️

Wow, that was a long decade wasn’t it?! Not sure I’ve known a longer January in fact, but the sun was shining today and the snowdrops are in bloom and it feels like Spring might just be on its way at last.

I’ve been absent from here for way too long; technical issues with the phone is all I can say. iPhones are good until they’re not good - which is usually after a few years and a few 1000 photos. So here we are. New month, new phone and raring to go.

I thought it was a good time to share some photos from previous weddings i’ve (we’ve) flowered. Because I can! Phone wouldn’t let me do this before so it’s a rare treat to be able to share some of the gorgeous professional photos that the very kind photographers share with me.

This was a gorgeous August wedding with lots of beautiful blousy blooms, soft pastels and statement designs. My favourite sort of flowers ❤️

Delighted to see Emily Scott’s Coastal Christmas Wreath hanging on her door.

This wreath making kit was inspired by the walk we take from Mawgan Porth over to Watergate Bay where Emily’s beautiful restaurant was based until recently.

It’s an absolute joy to see what she’s created with our wreath making kit 🌿

Scroll across for the detail.

Of course this isn’t this years wreath. It’s an unwritten rule that ours is always the very last wreath to come off the production line using any of the bits and pieces we have left, or armfuls of foliage from the garden.

Sometimes I make a wreath for us early on but always give it away. What fun are flowers anyway if not for other people to have. That’s the beauty of them and why I wanted to work with them in the first place.

So probably by Christmas Eve our wreath will be ready and on this door. One thing that will remain the same is that it will be wild and unstructured, full of texture and berries and the bow will definitely be floppy. Love a floppy bow.
