What are your design influences?

“Nature and the natural world definitely influence my designs and creations. I love British-grown flowers for their delicate and free-flowing appearance. My style is very much wild and rustic. I am almost a complete ECO florist too, enabling me to help our environment as much as I can.”

Who is your typical couple?

“I wouldn’t say I have a typical couple. Flowers are personal so it’s important for me to work with my couples to create their vision and I can adapt to their needs to complete their dream wedding flowers”

How important is being sustainable?

“It is important to me now moving forward to save our beautiful planet. I reuse all props, plastics, and glass, I do not use anything that will cause harm to the environment. I have noticed an increase in couples that want to use sustainable floristy including British-grown flowers to reduce the carbon footprint.”

What are you most proud of so far?

“I started using chicken wire a few years ago as a base framework to create large structures for weddings and it has been a complete game changer for me. I am very proud of the florals I have produced so far and everything can be dismantled and reused too!”

What is next for you and your company?

“Becoming more and more sustainable and offering some new additions that could be potentially of interest to couples planning a wedding and using one supplier for most of their wedding requirements”
