Floral design using curated blooms, muted tones & interesting florals to create the unexpected.

When I’m designing with flowers it’s the paintings I create in my head as I go. Each thought of flower and leaf woven in adds a layer of colour and texture to my designs. And I stop adding when I feel it evokes what I intended it to. A sense of autumn, or an echo of a hedgerow. Layers of colour in different tones & harmonious hues. Vintage, in between, mucky, antique-y colours. Combinations of colours together. Textural flowers, for a soft or wild look. Flowers and foliages that fill in between the bigger blooms, with a deceptively crucial part to play. I love to watch the seasons and everything they bring, from empty hedgerows with black berried Ivy & bracken. Tiny snowdrops peeping through. And blackthorn buds emerging into the spring. Noticing nature every day.

I truly love to work with colours and textures, muted palettes, unexpected beauty and intricate detail. Flowers carry with them sentiment and are there for the most celebrated moments in our lives. From wild brambles and blossoming hedgerows, heady scented Roses & ruffly Ranunculus- flowers full of nature and soul.

As a child many hours were spent pressing wild flowers, learning their Latin names and listening to my Grandma recite the flower fairy poems by Mary Cicely Barker. I loved to admire her flower fairy books and choose my favourite character- I still keep her wild flower pressings, all neatly labelled in her own handwriting with the dates and places we collected them together.

She always told me never to pick flowers from the garden. And now they are my greatest passion.

With a wealth of experience in weddings, having travelled across the UK for London events featured in OK Magazine, to country estates in the Yorkshire Dales and beyond, I am excited to continue my career into its 10th year.

The season begins as the hedgerows fill with scent, cowparsley and hawthorn. Into the year I go, handselecting blooms from local flower growers and Dutch suppliers to bring together an always extraordinary vision to life.
