Last Friday we welcomed the lovely Chloe who had travelled from Brittany in France to spend the day with us, for a summer brights one to one flower workshop. An established florist herself (she set up her business, Les Ephemeres 6 years ago) Chloe wanted to do the class to gain new perspective and reignite her creativity. I can completely relate to this. Whilst working for yourself has lots of positive aspects, one of the downsides is the loneliness. Running your own business can be very ... View the Post
Summer Flower Workshop with Gorgeous Peonies
On the blog today I'm sharing this dreamy summer flower workshop with gorgeous peonies. With today being the first of June (how can it be June already?!) it's officially summer time! One of my favourite seasons, the warm sunny weather, longer days, trips to the seaside with fish and chips on the beach, cow parsley growing abundantly everywhere and BBQ's to name just a few of my favourite summer time things. What do you love best about summer? Then there are the flowers, summer brings with it a ... View the Post
One to One Workshop with Vervain
I can't believe it was over a year ago that I did a one to one workshop with Vervain! However what's even more surprising then that is that I haven't got round to blogging about it, until now! As mentioned in my previous post, once maybe even twice a year I like to attend a flowery workshop. As part of my own personal development but also I think it's always good to go and spend some time learning from someone else. When you work alone you can sometimes become stuck in a rut. Sometimes a day ... View the Post
Spring Study Workshop with Moss and Stone
Once or twice a year I like to attend a flower workshop, for my own personal development. To learn a new skill and to have a day where I can switch off and get creative and inspired. I have been an admirer of Brigitte's (owner of Moss and Stone) work for a while. We would often chat regularly via Instagram too so I already felt like I knew her before we had met! So when I attended the spring study workshop with Moss and Stone a couple weeks ago needless to say it was a real treat! Set in ... View the Post
Spring Brights for a One to One Flower Workshop
Can you believe the heat wave we experienced last week?! Crazy hot weather for April but still it was lovely to have some sunshine! The weather this week, not so great, which is a shame. Hopefully today's Spring brights for a one to one flower workshop we had recently will help cheer you up. The lovely Carmela, who works in the wedding industry herself as a designer and stylist had flown over from Hong Kong for a week and had decided she wanted to attend a floral workshop to learn some flower ...

Hanging Chandelier and Spring Table Runner One to One Flower Workshop
Is it me or does it feel like the first signs of Spring are finally in the air? I'm very much enjoying the beautiful sunshine we have had the last couple of days. Especially following all the snow we had last week! Speaking of Spring a couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of teaching a hanging chandelier and Spring table runner one to one flower workshop or should I say two on one, as the class was indeed with two people. It was so lovely to meet Veronica and Barbara, who had travelled from ... View the Post
Life on a Flower Farm with Swan Cottage Flowers
What a treat we have on the blog today! We're chatting with the lovely Zoe all about life on a flower farm with Swan Cottage Flowers. Obviously I write a lot about flowers and floral design but what about the growing aspect to owning a floral business? The two fit together like a puzzle and work hand in hand together so I thought who better to give a behind the scenes tour of owning a flower farm then the owner of Swan Cottage Flowers herself! If like myself you champion British flowers or are ... View the Post
Dreaming of Spring
The title of today's blog post really says it all, I'm dreaming of Spring! Let's face it once Christmas and New Year has been we're just a little bit over winter aren't we? (or is it just me?!) The dark short days, the miserable cold and wet weather, as I type right now it has started to chuck it down with rain outside! All you really want is some sunshine and a bit of warmth! I'm dreaming of seeing all the wonderful delights that Spring has to offer; the beautiful Blossom growing on the trees, ... View the Post

Today we're talking wedding ceremonies and sharing with you floral ceremony ideas, inspiration for your big day. Often when it comes to planning your wedding, particularly ... View the Post
Gorgeous Garden Roses
There is no denying that I'm a sucker for gorgeous garden roses, I use them a lot within my designs (as I'm sure you will notice over on our wedding galleries) particularly the scented varieties for the bridal bouquets as I feel it's lovely to carry something that has a sweet smelling fragrance and thinking of the scent will always evoke such happy memories and transport you back to your special day all over again. I just adore how blousy they are too and some of the British varieties grown by ... View the Post
