    Wild Coastal Bridal Vibes

    The English weather does not always play ball when planning events, weddings or even shoots.. Last summer I had the pleasure of working with Ashton Jean Pierre a fine art wedding photographer is currently based in New Zealand. On a trip to the UK he asked kindly if I would supply a bouquet for a a small shoot on the North coast of Devon.. sadly the weather was wild, wet and windy.. however Ashton still captured some moments of beauty...

    Festive Times!

    I sit at the desk this morning getting my head round the fact that it is 2018.. and catching up on emails and flower orders as Christmas was rather a little busy with festive florals.. by Christmas Day came round my poor hands were more than a little ruined after handling oodles of pine and juniper foliage.. only good thing is that you get bucket loads of hand cream for Christmas as a florist. It was all worth it as I had the joy of working on some lovely festive set ups for

    Axnoller Wedding for Kimberely & Craig.

    I was so lucky to work with Kimberely and Craig on their wedding at the beautiful Axnoller here in Dorset. It was simply a 'super' cool and stylish affair. Kimberely wanted a cool mix of something different with just an injection of dark colour in amongst crisp white and buff colours. Using a mix of Copper Beech, Dracena foliage and a range of blooms from Dewi Delphiniums and a beautiful mix of roses alongside oodles of Eucalyptus. Roses David Austin Darvey were used along Wh

    Claire & Andrew's Classic Dorset Wedding.

    Claire married her Andrew in the most beautiful of weddings - with their ceremony held at Lulworth Chapel and then back to Andrew's family farm for a Marquee reception which turned into the most incredible of parties.. or so I hear. Claire wanted classic with a twist and with a blue and white theme for the first part of the wedding, we chose to use more structrual blooms alongside delicate country stems. Take a look at these beautiful images of a couple who truly belong toget

    Classic Country wedding for Paula and Richard at Southover House.

    Paula and Richard came to see me in the Autumn to discuss designing some beautiful and bespoke Bridal flowers for herself and their bridal party. Having a relaxed wedding at Southover House just outside Dorchester Paula wanted a mix between classic and loose wedding flowers for her day. I will admit that Richard was not so interested about talking about flowers, so I set him a task and he enjoyed a walk with Martha while Paula and I talked away over a pot of tea... it actual

    Cutting Garden...

    So back in the spring you will have seen on instagram that with the help of Martha and hubby.. I turned my little tired allotment into a cutting patch for growing unique stems of blooms not available so easily on the market to florists. Passionate about always finding that something unexpected to design with.. I took on the task of growing a select handful of blooms for this summer. I have had success on the most parts and every Thursday night a new batch of cut stems heads

    A Spring delight for Hannah!

    So quite a way back as I am not the best at keeping on top of recording all my weddings I design for.. I did a beautiful wedding for Mike and Hannah here in Dorset. Small, intimate and deeply personal to Hannah's vision and style. Bridal flowers were delicate pinks with spring accents, using Ranunculus, David Austin Kiera Rose and Spirea as well as Bluebells and Butterly Ranunculus. Her Bouquet was blousy, sumptous and just everything I love about Bride's who let you add your

    Firstly I wanted to thank all who took the time to read my last blog and your feedback, it meant a lot and I am so glad that some of you have even had the pleasure of watching my favourite movie WIND! As promised I would share with you how flowers became such a big part of my life and how I ended up swapping them for my sailing boots. So why flowers.. Like so many creative individuals will tell you - it stems back to my childhood! They are so true! Back then with my blond
