I am very much a glass half full kind of person, always trying to see the best in every situation, no matter how bad. There have been so many positive for me this year..
.
✨Spending a huge amount of unexpected time with my gorgeous girl has got to be number one. It has been the biggest blessing of all.
✨Being there for all of my couples - for every email, phonecall, frustration and postponement. I am so so fortunate to have been able to move each and every one to new dates next year without any overlap or clash.
✨Using this time to work on my business, it's sustainability and following my heart to make everything as green as possible. I really want to try and leave as smaller footprint as possible and create a better world for my daughter.
.
I entered The Wedding Industry Awards at the beginning of the year and am beyond thrilled to be named a Regional Finalist for the second year running. The handful of weddings I have had the honour and privilege of flowering have been unbelievably special. Seeing my couples say I do, knowing that love won - it has been such an incredible joy! I cannot thank my beautiful couples enough - they got me here and I couldn't be more grateful.

One week ago the most beautiful thing happened.. Love won!!
.
Zara and Jamie married in an exquisite intimate ceremony surrounded by their nearest and dearest, and not even the weather could dampen the mood.
.
So much love, so much joy and so much togetherness, it was so incredibly special. I was made to feel like part of the family and I cannot begin to tell you how rare and truly wonderful that is. I am so honoured to have brought Zara's ideas to life. I wish you both so much love, joy and happiness in your lives together, the pleasure has been absolutely all mine.
.
I am beyond overwhelmed and incredibly grateful for Zara's extraordinary words...
.
After looking through Rebecca’s portfolio I was instantly in love with her work, but I knew I had chosen the right person when I met her. She is not only warm, caring and friendly, but passionate about what she does and you can see it in her work. She not only creates stunning pieces, but she does it with heart. You know she really cares about making your day truly magical. From start to finish, she helped me bring my vision to life with mood boards, amazing advice and her incredible creativity.
.
This is exactly why we do what we do and I honestly have the best job in the world!

I will never forget the way I felt when I put the finishing touches to my peacock tail and turned around to see all their faces.. It blew my mind and gave me goosebumps. I am so very lucky to do what I do and I love every second.

Passionate plea alert.. . I made a conscious decis

Passionate plea alert..
.
I made a conscious decision back in 2018 to stop using floral foam in my designs (like Kruti's wedding arch above) and I am truly incredibly glad I did. This is why..
.
The amazing Charlene Trestrial from @rmituniversity has just published her award winning study called 'Foaming at the mouth - floral foam microplastics harm animals health'. See the link in my bio for her incredible video.
.
This study has highlighted the devastating impacts floral foam can have on marine invertebrates and marine ecosystems.
.
You may or may not be aware, either as a florist or as a person who buys flowers, that floral foam (the green base in many arrangements) is actually a plastic which breaks down into tiny microplastics.
.
Why does this matter? Charlene has shown that floral foam affects tiny aquatic invertebrates in 3 ways. The first being the phenol present in floral foam - it leaches out causing deformaties and death in aquatic animals. The second is the physical presence of foam - the aquatic invertebrates eat the foam (swipe to see) and this causes stresses in their stomachs, slow growth and less reproduction. The third shows strong evidence that the phenol and physical presence of foam is causing cell damage.
.
This ground breaking study has left me and many other florists in no doubt that floral foam is doing irreparable damage to our marine ecosystems from the bottom up.
.
It means that florists and consumers alike can now make informed choices about using floral foam and will hopefully adopt more sustainable alternatives. I cannot thank you enough for reading this far and for listening to me about a subject so dear to my heart - the state of our beautiful world. If you take just one thing away.. Next time you go to buy flowers please consider using a florist who doesn't use floral foam and know in doing so, you are doing something mighty for our wonderful wildlife.
.
Thank you x

I absolutely adored creating this bouquet to star

I absolutely adored creating this bouquet to star alongside the exquisite Andie and Meadow dresses from @madilanebridal.
.
Andie - The detailing, the cut and those sensational straps are beyond extraordinary and it needed something super special.
.
I pushed myself out of my comfort zone to create a bouquet that would perfectly complement the style and feel of the dresses, using a mix of fresh and dried flowers.. Simply stunning Quicksand Roses in a dusky pink and those gorgeous, delicate bunny tail grasses, which add so much detail and movement, and are so very of the moment.
.
I trialled reflexing Roses for the first time too and I have to say, I love the way they look and feel in this bouquet. It adds a different dimension, an elevation and a uniqueness. My favourite element though has to be the stunningly beautiful Lunaria, with its translucent, papery thin seed heads. Its almost from another world, the colour is simply divine and they add so much exquisite texture. I am totally in love!
.
I could wax lyrical about the incredible team behind this shoot all day. It was an absolute dream.

I am quite possibly the luckiest girl in the world

I am quite possibly the luckiest girl in the world.. I get to work with the most amazing people, who elevate, inspire and make me push myself to dizzying heights that I never thought possible✨
.
Two of those incredible people are the incomparable @russellkentnicholls and @pierragphotography! They are masters of their craft.. real wonders with a lens! Everything they produce, together or separately, is beyond exquisite!!
.
Last night was no exception.. they created golden hour magic for their beautiful couple @abbiehillll and Keith.
.
I adore being along for the ride, and striving to create designs as aspirational and lux as their exceptional imagery.
.
I hope you love this image from Pierra as much as I do. If you are looking for a photographer or videographer, then check out Russell and Pierra (use the link in my bio).. Honestly, you will be so incredibly happy that you did!

This gorgeous wedding was an absolute game changer

This gorgeous wedding was an absolute game changer for me. I can't believe it has been 2 years already!!
.
Claire and Ricky were beyond incredible to work for and are about to become parents for the first time. Happy Anniversary guys and huge congratulations! I hope you've had the most amazing day celebrating.
.
Their wedding taught me so much about myself and what I could achieve. My part was all arranged with very short notice, with just a few weeks to plan, order and create something truly out of this world. Claire has the most sensational sense of style and this came across in spades.. I mean.. She wore leopard print shoes with blue pompoms!! That's a lady who knows what she wants!
.
The set up for the wedding was on the hottest days of the year.. under canvas, hoisting flowers up into unbelievably heat! Then came the great British weather and collosal thunderstorms, which had water streaming into the Marquee the day before the wedding. What did we do.. kept calm and carried on!
.
The table runners were a real labour of love. 45 feet of living plants in chicken feeders grown by Claire's Mum, that Kate and I lovingingly filled out with the most exquisite cut flowers in water vials. The colours were beyond words.. bright pinks, blues, purples, chocolate browns.. It was a sight to behold.
.
I hope you can tell from my passion and my words just how much I loved this wedding. It was a complete dream! And showed me that my hands are capable of creating complete magic ✨
