When the door of your rented house isn’t quite picture worthy but there is a garden full of beautiful trees…..
Colour back in the studio - it’s June so it must be pink!
The flowers are faux but trends still follow the natural seasons - loads of peonies and roses, wild meadow flowers and a few tulips….
My studio is popping with colour at the moment
🌈 it’s Pride month 🏳️🌈
Loads of gorgeously colourful wreaths being packaged up and sent out - weddings, celebrations and some just because they love colour!
These are the most fun wreaths to make - I just grab handfuls of flowers of the right colours - sometimes the varieties differ depending on what I have available but the colours stay the same - each one has a specific meaning 🌈
🏳️🌈
It’s wedding time ….just a few being sent out this week.
I love how each theme is so different, it’s such a personal thing - I just need to provide the wreaths and garlands to match the ideas 😍
The sun was shining so having a long overdue practice at reels!
Ribbons!
I literally have drawers FULL of them, I ‘can’t’ throw any of them away
Festive Wreaths - get the ribbon colours right and the foliage will do the rest!
This year - every shade of green, jewel colours and a few neutrals - velvet is still my favourite
At the workshops people often bring their own treasured embellishments - last year some gorgeous feathers turned up - they’d come all the way from Africa - gorgeous exotic colours and I had just happened to have the perfect ribbon!
This years workshops start on Tuesday - really looking forward to them
York - what a beautiful place.
Nearly 20 years of books, trips and wine with this fabulous crowd. (2 missing this time)
I’m a bit behind this year, so…….a sunny day, on-line orders nearly caught up, no freelancing and a couple of four-legged companions to motivate me - I’m up to my elbows in moss, foliage and possibly a few cones!

I’m inundated with boxes arriving this week …. full of everything Autumn.
Just perfect 🍁
First Christmas order for ‘23
What’s not to love about an organised customer 🙏🏻
Who knew!
Today is National Pink Day!
I’ve just been reading about it so it must be true and I have endless pink photos so this is an easy post!
Almost every order for the last two weeks has been pink - every shade and variety of floral gorgeousness - peonies, cosmos, roses…..
The whites are slowly waining ….apart from in my house!
So….let there be pink!
Celebrate Pride Month
I’m just starting to have orders for these beauty’s for Pride celebrations and for those who just love colour - like my mum!

Coronation Day
Had to post one!
Have the best day - Happy Birthday to my twinnies!
Lucky to have you both xx
A house move and setting my studio up again have got in the way of any Instagram posts recently …. so a few pics of some wreaths that have or are going out this week.
Loads more designs on my Etsy shop.
No words needed 🌺

My favourite 🤩
I don’t advertise many of these - they’re huge and fiddly and take ages to make but are gorgeous.
So never hesitate if you see one available - there won’t be another for a while!
This one is off to Italy 🇮🇹 - safe journey ✈️

Spring orders posted this week 🌿
The sun is out - even though my car is covered in thick frost 🥶.
Winter orders seem to have tailed off and I’ve got colour back in my studio 😃
Happy New Year!
As a small business - I always start the new year worrying whether the orders will still come rolling in - was last year a lucky ‘blip’?
It’s lots of hard work as in any business - changing and tweaking things constantly - some good, some not so…
So to have already had orders placed and even one for an Easter wreath - far more organised than I ever could be - it’s made me start the year smiling 😄
Workshop week 1 - Just a few customer pics of the creations made so far.
It’s been such a good week - we’ve met some lovely people and even have bookings for next year 🤩

Just had my 500th order for this one!👏🏻🍾 It was originally made as a gift for a friend - she loved it, so I listed it and hey…. #wreathsofinstagram #seasonalwreaths #tulips #springflowers #doordecor #fauxflorals #silkflowers #smallbusiness #essexsmallbusinessowner #etsyshop #ingatestone #essex
The Floral colour wheel!

Even when it’s welly boot weather these two make it feel like the sun isn’t far off. I’ve made more summer wreaths over the last two weeks than anything else…we’re all needing some optimism st the moment. #wreathsofinstagram #colour #essex
Just the loveliest treat with my ‘little’ girl @issycollins1503 An end of exams and Christmas wreathing rare day out together! The lights were so beautiful - so worth the visit. @kewgardens
One of our lovely wreath workshops held this week - lots of talent. As always the perfect venue to hold the workshops and the lunch provided by @marisapetreevents was beyond amazing! We’re taking bookings for next years workshops - 2 days already reserved - please DM for dates and availability. Morning workshop with lunch or evening with Fiz and canapés….what’s not to like!
Everyone loves a rainbow - a symbol of hope and happiness. . . With the weather we’ve had recently we need some colour in our lives and on our doors.
Pink is still going strong - all shades - I’m definitely a convert! I’ve had to reorder so many times, though it’s been really difficult to source lots of products ....... everything seems to be stuck in China. #doorwreaths #floralwreath #fiona_floralcouture #myfloraldays #wreathsofinstagram #whatsinspiringmenow #essexflorist #essex #smallbusinessowner #chelmsford #womeninbusiness
