Flowers and floristry have been a love of mine, all the way back to my childhood. I began as a 14 year old Saturday girl back in 1995, picking up skills from florists, and went on to study floristry at Merrist Wood college upon leaving school, attaining distinctions in my NVQs.

I have since worked at several florist shops in the Surrey area before deciding to freelance during 2003 - I feel that without having to overlook the day-to-day running of a shop allows me to focus fully on specific customer projects.

Over the years as well as retail shops I have undertaken contract work in London’s west end, at hotels, restaurants and offices – providing eye – catching arrangements on a weekly basis.

I have also undertaken many weddings of many sizes and differing themes – please see my wedding page for photos and ideas of my past work.

In all my years of experience, I have drawn inspiration from interior design, fashion trends, as well as regularly attending world events such as The Chelsea Flower Show and Hampton Court, plus of course visiting the place where 90% of our cut flowers are grown – Holland.

I believe that the combination of my experience and passion for floral design allows me to offer a truly bespoke and personal service, whatever the occasion.
