“If you don’t like the road you’re walking, start paving another one.”
— Dolly Parton

It’s five years since I took Dolly’s advice and started training as a florist. I have had a great adventure and met some amazing, creative people on my floral journey and I am so grateful for every moment of it.

I am, unfortunately, terrible at posting my work on Instagram and have made myself a promise to do better in 2025. A late start, but as my good friend said to me last week, you have to rest as hard as you work.

Photo is a beautifully dreamy double film exposure by , shot on one of my favourite days last year, wedding in NI 🪩
More pics of this, and all my work (old and new) coming up for your viewing pleasure.

As always I am open to , , and any cool creative projects that are forming in your mind. I have a more flexible schedule this year so hit up my dm’s with any enquiries 🍑🎀

Thank you for all the love and messages sent after my slightly vulnerable post yesterday. I wear my heart on my sleeve (behind a shell of anxiety 🦀 ✨) and it feels like a chore not to be the same online.

The shared excitement over my upcoming projects has lifted my spirits, I can only hope the positive feedback continues after I have shared the actual work ha!

Here is a gritty sneak peek of some highland flowers I made in a cloud. ☁️ 🍑 ☁️

The past few months for me has been the start of my ‘make things happen’ era, after spinning my wheels for a few years while navigating the pandemic and parenting a teenager as a single parent.

My life is now at a transition point, a confusing place where I’ve not been sure which direction to focus my energy now that my daughter is on her own path.

So, I’ve decided to build on my skills and portfolio by travelling around visiting wonderful friends in their wonderful spaces and using the available materials there to create arrangements and installations that respond to the environment and energy around me.

Last month I visited at for a structured photoshoot in collaboration with in the mystical ancient forest that has been part of my life since my teens.

This month, I travelled up to the highland to visit and family with . This magical hillside farmland had an overwhelming abundance of material, and the best evenings of great food and plentiful stories of adventure; I will definitely have to go back soon to create more work. I can’t stop thinking about it.

Next month I am off to the Lake District to visit some Art College friends, I did my foundation year at Cumbria a long time ago. This friend’s dad is a brilliant potter and her house is full of earthy ceramics so I’m planning a mega bowl arrangement session.

I WILL be showing you images of this work as soon as my life gets a bit quieter, but let me leave you with this explanation of what I’ve been up to, and a picture of a perfect mushroom I found, while I dash over to Mallorca to flower a friends wedding ✨ 🍑 ✨

An arrangement I created while freelancing in the borders for , christened Dark Barbie 🎀

When the light broke through the gorgeous carved wood windows she really found her moment.

It feels like the summer only lasted a hot (or should I say tepid) minute, mostly because I have been travelling around the country and the globe for weddings, birthdays and family reunions 🫶🏻

I have come home to autumnal vibes, although still hoping that the Indian summer that usually follows the Edinburgh Festival is on its way…

September is a full and busy month for Cosmos Peach, with lots of freelancing work for and , a styled shoot in the making, a bowl arrangement workshop at , design prep for a Mallorca wedding 🌞 , and one of my best friends hen do!

I will try my best to post some of the work before September ends* but if not I will see you on the other side 🫡

Enquiries for freelancing or Cosmos Peach styling by DM as always xoxo

Dainty details, summer light.

As we move into festival month here in Edinburgh I am escaping to spend some time with my family.

Out of office is on from this Friday until the 18th August, so still a few days left to DM any event or freelancing enquiries 😎

This ceremony arch was made for a wedding that I was also coordinating last minute, I had a million other jobs to do once I took my florist hat off and didn’t manage to get a good photo of it in place, these were taken after it was relocated for use as the photobooth backdrop.

G&E wanted a Scottish style with roses and thistles, this request was a departure from my preferred style; but by taking their brief and incorporating local foliage and grasses into the mix I created this romantic hedgerow tangle which complimented the rustic venue.

Although time pressure on this job was intense, I enjoyed making it hugely. It was one of those days that I wished flowers lasted forever.

I’m hoping perhaps has some better images somewhere in her vast archives.. 🪄

This corner of my garden has been weighing on my mind. Last year I took out a huge leylandii that had taken over the rockery, carefully pulled out reams of ground elder with its tiny white annoying roots, and prepared the soil for my big plans to plant it up with considered plants and herbs.

And then, as it does, life happened. While life was happening to me, it was also slowly creeping back to the rockery. To my dismay, the ground elder came back with a vengeance; my carefully tilled soil was overcome with wild campanula and sticky willow.

The stress I felt while watching this happen without the time or energy to fix it grew with each rainy day last month. Until the sun came out, and with hoe in hand I walked to the sad corner to get started.

But then I looked at the chaos in the sunshine and started to see it differently. I had let the ground elder go to flower as all good gardeners shouldn’t, but it was beautiful.
Ox eye daisys, foxgloves, feverfew, creeping buttercups and ferns, wild geranium, campanula bells of all colours, even the sticky willow had tiny flowers; the wild campanula had grown up the wall to cheer up the ivy. The rhubarb is so big it made me feel like Alice in my very own wonderland.

So I made an arrangement out of the wildness, I took out my earbuds and swapped my self help podcast for birdsong, I found all the beauty in a place I thought was ruined by neglect. And I realised that my friends have been right all along: release control, RELAX, let it happen. Abundance is there for the taking.

A horse called Romeo, an Irish Wolfhound for a pageboy, and a full sequin dress; a wedding with all the things needed a bouquet of the same ilk.

Wed in a forest next to a loch in Downpatrick, Ana & Terry put on the most fabulous event. Romance with a hint of Disco. And then there was the fire performance…

Blossom time is here and it is glorious 💗

Looking back at this arrangement I made this time last year in my parent’s garden on the Isle of Arran.
The house has new owners now and I miss it dearly, the sense of peace and the sound of the sea.
I have an abundance of memories though to call upon when I need to check out, which has come in mightily handy over what seems to be an everlasting winter.

But the blossom has returned, as it always does. The warmth is just around the corner 💗

Earth Day arrangement II.

These peach avalanche roses had been ‘pre-loved’, used for a gorgeous spring wedding in a walled garden. kindly let me take them home after they had served their original purpose.
💛

I combined them with bluebells from my garden for scent and colour contrast, and set the bouquet amongst the ground elder to show it who’s boss. 🤠

The simple spiral bouquet is a step away from my usual style and was dictated by the length of the stems, but it turned out super sweet.

Roses are one of my absolute favourite flowers, I cannot wait until my own garden roses bloom so I can give them their place in the spotlight. I have treated myself to a few new varieties this year, just wait and see 🍑

For Earth Day.

I always try and have sustainability as a focus in my designs, but as a special challenge I have combined some selected bit from my garden with roses that were past their ‘sell by date’ at

Their petals are slightly bruised, slightly tired, slightly soft, but they are no less beautiful. A message to us all perhaps 🫶🏻

Built with sustainable, reusable mechanics in a milk glass footed bowl I thrifted a few years ago. This is also known as depression glass, which might be construed by some as a nod to the state of the political Earth. If you want to think that deeply into it.. 🫠

Recent work for , a spring lapel decoration for a chic Ostara dinner guest.

A nest of woven willow and rosemary, with pops of colour from ranunculus and forsythia. A celebration of the magic of spring.

Spending a rainy morning updating my website in preparation for relaunching Cosmos Peach after my winter hibernation.

I will be looking to work with brands and other creatives, using floral styling to support engagement, aesthetic marketing for shoots/launches/events, and collaborative projects.

I’m also available for freelancing around the uk and Europe 💁🏼‍♀️
