About Us
Living in the countryside and being surrounded by beautiful foliage and textures drove Pat's passion for floristry design and following redundancy from a Corporate Learning & Development career she was able to turn the passion into a reality. Pat has been lucky to work with and, train and learn with, some of the floral industry's award winning and most prestigious florists such as Claire Cowling, Jamie Aston and Joseph Massie (UK School of Floristry) and the amazingly talented Sabine Darrall who is inspirational in her use of environmentally friendly designs and products.
"I will not be another flower, picked for my beauty and left to die. I will be wild, difficult to find and impossible to ignore".
This wonderful quote describes our style beautifully. We are a bespoke wedding and event floral designers and it is our desire to bring your floral visions to life. We will work closely with you to source wonderful colours and textures to complete your chosen designs. We love working with seasonal flowers and source British grown where possible.
Elegant, chic and timeless designs to suit all occasions.
