Hello Guys! Goodness can you BELIEVE it's been nearly a whole year since my last blog post?! Today I wanted to share with you a joyful day from back in April this year when I spent the day with the lovely Rebecca (Lilac and Lace) and Kate (The Floral Magpie) as they mastered bridal bouquets and refined their techniques during our 1:2 bridal bouquet workshop. We have SO much to catch up on, the last time I was typing on here Harry was still in my belly with a few weeks to go until he entered the ... View the Post
Foam Free Installation One to One Flower Workshop
Is summer officially over? Judging by today's miserable wet weather my answer would probably have to be yes! Although I shall remain optimistic that we might get a second chance of sun. I have a treat on the blog for you today as I'm sharing our foam free installation one to one flower workshop from a couple of weeks ago. It was a wet dreary Thursday, much like today but that didn't stop myself and the lovely Clare from Flowers by Clarey Belle having the most wonderful day flowering at the ... View the Post
One to One Flower Workshop with Fleurrebelle
A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of spending the day with lovely Emma, from Fleurrebelle. For a one to one flower workshop. Now Emma has to be one of the most kind and thoughtful souls I have ever met. She booked onto the class back in January and it was only a few months later through the sharing of stories via Instagram I realised that she had conceived her twin boys through IVF (for those of you who missed my previous IVF journey post you can find it here). I reached out to Emma ... 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
Autumn Compote and Bridal Bouquet Workshop
Back in October, I met the lovely Heather for an Autumn compote and bridal bouquet workshop. We had the most wonderful day together. We started off with a cup of tea & biscuits (quite rightly so!) and chatted about our love of flowers. Heather, has set up her floral design business; Lily and Bray Floristry along side her day job as a radiographer, following some previous flower classes she had attended. During our one to one she was keen to learn a more natural and organic style to arranging ... View the Post
