So many of us are doing our little bit for the environment in our every day lives, whether it be recycling, reusing, walking, taking public transport or growing our own food. Sadly, the floral industry is lagging behind on this, especially when it comes to the use of floral foam or Oasis. Why is this […]
My 2019 really started with an amazing surprise! I am truly over the moon that Claire and Ricky’s incredible wedding from last July is the first real wedding to be featured on Rock My Wedding in 2019! To say that I am excited, honoured and blown away is an understatement! Claire was a truly sensational […]
Back at the end of June I met with Claire in her parents sunny back garden a stones throw from her wedding venue, the stunning Falconhurst Estate. She had huge dreams for a flower filled day, with vibrant colours and sensational displays. I set about creating the most incredible wedding flowers for her, ensuring it […]
What a weekend it has been! A few months ago the lovely Charlotte from Charlotte Ware Designs found my floral designs on Instagram and invited me to take part in her Royal Wedding weekend extravaganza. What an incredible privilege! Charlotte has created the most incredible space for brides to get all their needs under one […]
Back in late 2017, I was walking along a London street with my best friend Gemma when she suddenly dropped into conversation that she had applied to run the London Marathon.

The weather really did try to scupper my plans, with 2 and half inches of snow falling early on the Saturday morning. We had had something like a 10 degree drop in temperature overnight, going from gorgeous warm sunshine to soft floaty snowflakes in less than 24 hours! When I planned the workshops, I never […]
Now that we are firmly into the New Year, I thought I would share with you what I think the big floral trends of 2018 will be. There are no real surprises, but plenty to be excited about and so much to let my imagination run wild… Ultraviolet 2017 was the year of greenery and […]
You may remember.. back in October I wrote a Blog about mood boards and right at the very end mentioned a very special lady’s 80th Birthday. Well now Christmas has been and gone, I’ve finally found a moment to tell you all about it. Pat turned 80 at the beginning of December and had a […]
At the end of November 13 very lovely people came to my Studio to make their own Christmas door wreaths. I had done the grotty bit for them by mossing the wreath rings. It’s a mucky, often insect filled job and definitely not good on the nails! The Studio smelt wonderfully like Christmas, with […]
