Unrelated but to this photograph but with all the

Unrelated but to this photograph but with all the same feelings of anticipation I have just delivered a gorgeous Bridal bouquet and set up for a wedding of 15 🌸 It’s was very pretty and felt super special... 🤍 Love is not cancelled or postponed!🙏 This is a memory of lovely moment was taken around this time last year... I loved working with Emma to create her Wedding Flowers 🌸🍁🤍 Made with an Autumn colour palette of dreams, with a pretty blend of locally grown British Blooms and Dutch imported beauties. I have plenty of this super images from @joshua_gooding to share with you with thanks from Emma and Mehar. I hope you’ll enjoy them as much I loved living them and looking back with heaps of joy and nostalgia 💭☺️🤍

If you can’t find me I’ll be in the workshop.

If you can’t find me I’ll be in the workshop. Music on. News off. Im cheered to have a workshop full of flowers today 🍁 And, lovely clients. Recently, Emma and Mehar gave me the key to their treasure trove of photographs, I took time to look at them nearly a year after delivering this most beautiful brief. I’m blown away by how happy and honored I feel to have been a part of this incredible day with some of my favourite flower friends as my team team 😊 This story has also story, whilst delivering these bouquets I noticed a little visitor in the flowers... (they’re so fresh you see!) this little chap had popped out to say hello and was swiftly rehoused in a plant pot somewhere in #southsea @joshua_gooding is super clever to have captured this moment so beautifully 🙏☺️🤍🐌🍂

Hello 👋 this morning I loaded in and conditione

Hello 👋 this morning I loaded in and conditioned the the most beautiful influx of Vintage Wedding Flowers and Autumn Treats. The scents of roses, citrus, apple, rosemary and eucalyptus are lifting my spirits as I work 🍂🙏🍁
I love layering up with a wooly jumper, coat socks and wrist warmers to crack on as the sun shines into my little workshop 🙏 I’ve made my first wreath of the season... you can order these for collection until mid-November (£35 each link in bio) when the earthy warm tones will be replaced by cool winter collections. If you want, I’ll covert it to a Christmas one.
Take a look at my reels to see how I made this wreath!

Up to my ears in planning for smaller scale more viable projects, but remembering so very fondly the final stages of creating E & M’s October Wedding at @tithebarn last year 🌙 🍁 I do love working at scale. But for now I’m working on getting my flowers out to more people 😁 It’s starting with a monthly Pop Shop from my Workshop on the 2nd Friday of every month. Pre-Order Flowers, come and collect. Maybe a SD chat 💭 There’ll be houseplants, bouquets and wreaths to begin with. Gently does it ☺️ watch out for my stories over the weekend, and follow my facebook page for event info (see link in bio!)

In memory of a lady who used to buy my flowers quite often 🌿
I’m told she loved eucalyptus and my tendency to choose a soft colour palette 🌸
Funeral Flowers can be as lovely as the people we’re remembering 🤍 These were scented with cottage lavender, rosemary, and end of season sweet peas 🌸
Sending love to the family today who requested a set of hand-tied bouquets, wrapped with silk ribbon to include personal messages for their loved one 🤍🌿

It just so happened that last week when I ordered

It just so happened that last week when I ordered a stack of flowers for Rhea and Matt’s Wedding on of my lovely 2019 Brides Mums asked to make a bouquet for Alice in the style of her Wedding Flowers too 🌸
.
Here’s the bouquet. What a pretty one it was. With some of my naturally dyed habotai silk ribbon. Hope I’ve got all the S apostrophes right?! 😆
.
Lots of birthday & anniversary love to Alice! I like it when an order and a plan come together 🌸🤍🎂

Another Wedding going ahead today... a bit smaller

Another Wedding going ahead today... a bit smaller than planned but still with super quality pretty flowers 🌸

Hello 👋 I’m back in the office today... feels like a lifetime ago I last had the day to myself to plod through my to do list... 👦👧👧
I’m really enjoying speaking to some lovely brides over the phone about their flowers, it’s not the same as meeting for coffee and cake but at least things are moving forward 🙏
In the planning are the next few episodes of my new venture @flowersoverthewallpodcast #watchthispace 🎧
Taking it slow and I get to grips with new things and new rules and what #microweddings are going to look like. Flower prices seem to be rising a bit at the moment generally too 🌸
Pictured here is a lovely and simple table set up for F&M’s Wedding last year. Such a gorgeous day with a lovely mix of table centers and a succulent or two 🌿

Huge Congratulations to Laura and Scott who got ma

Huge Congratulations to Laura and Scott who got married @southdownsmanor earlier today!! 🤍🤍🌿
.
It felt wonderful to be back at work delivering lovely flowers to beautiful people. The team at @southdownsmanor were fabulous as always, so helpful and friendly 😁
.
Laura asked me to make a classic ivory bouquet, I chose a mix of Avalanche, scented #normajeane and Snow Spray Roses with #Freesia and #Eucalyptus. For an extra lift, I popped on a bit of Rosemary too and a handful of daisies for a bit of pretty detail 🌼
.
It was pouring with rain as I packed the car this morning so I only got a few close up pictures from inside the workshop door 🌧! I’m sure Laura ans Scott’s photographer will do a much better job of photographs as the day goes on 🤔
.
Let’s keep our fingers crossed that the Wedding Industry keeps going in the right direction. We can do it and put precautions in place where we need to #whataboutweddings #loveistheanswer #microweddings

My hands are full of eucalyptus sap, and it’s been raining outside to extremity! I’ve had a day in workshop prepping for a Wedding that was rescheduled from earlier in the year and feel really jolly... these aren’t the colours for the Wedding by the way! No spoilers here 😉🌸🌿🤍

It’s the season for Dahlias... the most wonderful of flowers 🌸

This one is a Cafe Au Lait, a little photo memory from Alex and Guy’s awesome wedding with lots and lots of English Grown Flowers & Eucalyptus 🤍🌿

Late post tonight... spot of midnight oil... I launched my @flowersoverthewallpodcast tonight!🌙👩‍💻🎧
.
It’s a big move out of my comfort zone... I’ll be sharing some excellent chats with some really talented and special people, my dream is to build a beautiful community of creatives inspired by florals 🌸
.
I have loved working on this project over the past few months. It’s reminded me of the beginning of my floristry journey. A tonic indeed 💭
.
All the butterflies 🦋 all the wondering if it’s going to work, but hugely good intentions, 💯% effort 🤍

If you like what I say here and are up for more then I’d love to to listen and come and join me @flowersoverthewallpodcast the more listens, shares and likes I get the more episodes I’ll make for sure 🎧🤩🙏🌻🦋🤍

So relieved things are starting to head in the right direction for the Wedding Industry... 🌟🥂🤍

Although I can imagine choosing 30 favourites is going to take some thinking about if you had planned a wedding for 100+ 🤔💭 #whataboutweddings

Pictured here, I made this foam free table runner last summer for Gemma and Dave’s awesome celebrations at Royal Britannia Naval College in Dartmouth. Topped up with arrangements made with DYO flowers supplied by me 🌸🤍

A bit of Devon magic if you ask me 😉🌸🥂🌿

Each flower tells a story - this is one of my favourite flowers 🌸 the first time I remember seeing these was long before I began my floristry journey...
.
... it was the a few days before our Wedding. My Mum had organized our flowers with great expertise, it was a family effort all round. Vintage bottles, sweet peas so very pretty. I went with my Dad to collect these and a few others from a Wholesalers in Devon 🌸🌳
.
The Scabiosa’s just like these took my breath away. We only had a few, but we didn’t need many!! It was our 7th Wedding Anniversary this week, and so while at @flowervisionsouthampton buying flowers for lovely clients it would’ve been a travesty not to treat us! 🤷‍♀️🌸🌿
.
I haven’t done anything fancy with them, apart from throw them in a tall vase with water. They make me smile whenever I walk past them, even when I’m building lego crocodiles 🐊🤷‍♀️😃
.
By the way my podcast is coming along really nicely. More recording today with lovely @reflexologybarn I can’t wait to share it with you. Come over to @flowersoverthewallpodcast to be in the know first 🎧🙏☺️

Happy today to have flowers in my hands 🌸 and even happier to hand them over to wonderful people who are celebrating 20 years of marriage today!! Congratulations!! 🤍
.
My client sent me a photographs of the wedding bouquet and asked me to recreate it... what a beautiful gesture 👨🙌😁
.
I think I found ‘the’ right rose by and added a few twists of lavender, mint and Astilbe 🌸🤍
.
Flowers are part of life’s great love story aren’t they? 🥰 xx

Here’s a big smile. We all need some more smiles in our life at the moment 😁
.
This is quite a long post, it starts with this photo taken by one of our builders a while back... we were in the middle of our cottage renovation project. I rejected it back then for the grid it at the time because it’s was too smiley 😆🤷‍♀️
.
I was then in a busy season of work... exhausted but loving building my business 🤹‍♀️
.
I’m feeling sad about it all this evening as guidelines about Weddings seem to be changing ALL the time 😥
.
My policy since the C word started has been to remain positive and mega flexible for my clients. I’m on your side, your team, standing by to help make your wedding dreams a reality when we can 🤍
.
I have been studiously penciling and unpencilling, responding to new enquiries, writing quotes, and moving dates - quietly getting sadder that the business I have literally busted my guts to build around three small children is completely on pause 😐
.
I’m pivoting over at @flowersoverthewallpodcast and thankful for my husband who is diligently ploughing through his work to keep us all going 👩‍❤️‍👨
.
Our three wild children are keeping me on my toes throwing me curve balls one after the other daily 👦👧👧 I’m enjoying spending more time with them, learning about phonics, camping and other things. We have so much to be grateful for 🙏 there is a lot going on in the world at the moment which is frightening.
.
I’m sending love to all my lovely Wedding Industry colleagues who are feeling similar 💖
.
I’m not quite sure really how to end this post, apart from to say sorry it’s a bit more melancholy than usual, and that I’m not as present as I normally am here or on emails really either. I hope I’m not moaning... it wouldn’t feel authentic to stay quiet the longer this goes on 🤔 there’s a brilliant blog by @lovemydress #whataboutweddings take a 👀
.
Thank you for being here - and for reading this far if you get there #keepontrucking and I’ll #keeponpenciling #postponedontcancel I know that next year is going to be one hugely magnificent year of flowers 💖😊🌸
