With a background in horticulture, the transition from gardener to florist about 20 years ago was a relatively straightforward one. It wasn’t until I got married myself that I had given wedding flowers much thought at all. However, being a gardener and a flower addict I knew that the formal style of wedding flower arrangements was not really for me, it was a bit like my gardens, full of flowers and nature and less of the neatly mowed, striped lawn.

My ethos is sustainability, I have adapted over the years to becoming more sustainable in my floristry work, I gave up using floral foam and single-use plastics and use locally sourced flowers and foliage whenever possible. My wedding flowers combine seasonality, colour, structure, and texture.

I love to create floral displays using foraged dog rose and honeysuckle for instance or wedding arches using living hornbeam and hops or large urns overflowing with dahlias and copper beech.

I source most of my foliage from my own property and other places where I have permission to do so. I also grow a small amount of my favorite flowers that are unusual and not commercially available which add a unique touch to bouquets and arrangements. Thankfully there is now a growing network of local flower farmers, I love to buy locally so it’s great that I can supplement my wholesale order with fresh and often unique blooms that enhance the natural theme of my wedding flowers.

Have a read on my blog page to find out more about my sustainability goals and how you might like to make your own special day more sustainable.

My role as your florist is to customize every floral aspect of your wedding and create breathtaking floral displays that reflect the unique personality of each bride and their budgetary constraints. By doing so, I aim to make your wedding day an unforgettable and cherished memory. Have a look through my wedding gallery and my social media platforms to discover my wedding flower style.

Over my two decades of creating wedding flowers, I have developed my own style which I refer to as "Garden Style." This style is characterized by its natural abundance, seasonality, and romantic flair, which draws inspiration from my passion for gardening and nature and the picturesque countryside surrounding the medieval town of Rye in East Sussex. This idyllic location, with its boutique hotels and stunning beaches, is a favored wedding destination, and it has played a significant role in shaping my unique approach to wedding design.

I’m often asked to gather flowers and foliage foraged from the gardens and estates of parents and family (which I’m more than happy to do) not only does it add a personal touch to the wedding, but also brings a sense of history and place. These wedding flowers and foliage gathered from the venue often hold special meaning and memories, and incorporating them into the wedding arrangements can make the occasion even more personal, meaningful, and memorable.
