It's hard to believe that we are now in mid October and it's currently 25 degrees outside! How crazy is that! I just adore the Autumn season. All the pretty colours on the trees and seeing all the leaves scattered on the ground and blowing in the wind, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. I'm a coats and boots girl too, so this season suits me down to the ground! Today I wanted to share with you some Autumnal flower inspiration, with designs from previous weddings and shoots. We have had the ... View the Post
Tablescape Inspiration
How beautiful was the weather today? It was a crisp Autumnal morning with the golden sunlight peeking through the gaps in the trees in my garden. With a cool calm breeze in the air, one of those mornings you just want to bottle up and save, especially on those grey miserable days! I wanted to share with you one of my favourite aspects of working with flowers and that is designing tablescapes! So today's blog post, you guest it... tablescape inspiration with designs from some of our weddings we ... View the Post
Paying Homage to the Floral Urn
With the weather taking a turn this week and the temperature dropping, it has certainly got me feeling rather Autumnal. Thinking about the new season that is just round the corner, has it you? Today I wanted to pay homage to the floral urn, one of my favourite designs I like to create. For many reasons really, I love how versatile the floral urn can be. It can add that wow impact not only to a church ceremony but in a reception marquee or stately home venue too. I like to create bespoke ... View the Post
Lavender Love A Day Spent At The Hop Shop In Kent
A couple of Saturday's ago I spent the day strolling through the lavender fields at the Hop Shop, Castle Farm. What better way to spend a sunny Saturday? I absolutely adore the smell of lavender, its probably my favourite scent in fact! It's such a soothing relaxing herb too that people often use to help them wind down and fall asleep after a long day at work. What I didn't realise though until after our guided tour, was just how many different uses lavender has. From food ingredients (I sampled ... View the Post
Finding Your Floral Style
Happy Tuesday! It's been one of those afternoons spent working in my local coffee shop, when you work alone a change of scenery can do you the world of good. I have been thinking a lot recently about finding your floral style, I have spoken to a few different florists who have been feeling stuck in a bit of a rut (it can happen to all of us from time to time). Especially when you are busy, we become so consumed with the day to day running of our businesses that sometimes we can loose our way and ... View the Post
Celebrating British Flowers with Swan Cottage Flowers
Last Wednesday I had the absolute pleasure of spending the day with Zoe and Neil from Swan Cottage Flowers. Celebrating British Flowers in all their glory. With this week being British Flowers Week, today's post could not be more fitting! We started with a tour of their cutting garden, there were so many different flower varieties growing it was every flower lovers dream! The smell from the Garden Roses was just heavenly and the Sweet Peas too! It was so interesting to see how Zoe and Neil run ... View the Post
Summer Brights One to One Flower Workshop
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
