I often forget just how lucky I am to live in Kent, but sometimes I actually venture out into the countryside and am quickly reminded just how beautiful my surroundings are. This week we took a trip to The Hop Shop at Castle Farm to visit their famous lavender fields which are just spectacular at this time of year. I actually went last year, but made the rookie mistake of visiting at the weekend, when as you can imagine, it is absolutely RAMMED. So this year I roped in Becky

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I FULLY APPRECIATE cute Disney elements in a wedding. Don't get me wrong, I'm really not about over the top, cinderella-style, in-your-face Disney weddings, but when Stacey and Tom told me their day was going to have a hint of Mary Poppins, vintage-esque daintiness to it, I was DOWN. This combined with the 2018 Pantone colour of the year (ultraviolet purple) as a colour scheme, lets just say I was excited. Oh and to top it off, it w

I cannot tell you how much of a pleasure it was to work with Sophie and Rob on their gorgeously bright and colourful wedding day (only same day as old Harry and Meghan's!). Everything about it was right up my street; gorgeous fairylight lit Kent barn venue, Mexican fiesta style bunting and more fresh cut, local flowers than you can shake a stick at! The venue was the Owl's Castle Barn, a little family-run hidden gem in the heart of Culverstone, Kent. Sophie didn't have a pa

It seems a lifetime ago now that I met Danielle (then Plumb) in a cute little local cafe with her mum to begin her wedding flower planning. I don't think either of us knew then how our plans and designs would evolve and grow over the coming months. However with a venue like Northbrook Park, I knew it was going to be a special one. At the time of meeting Danielle and James I was still fairly new to the wedding biz, and I'd just like to take this opportunity to thank them for p

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore every wedding I make and every new couple I meet. But it really is extra special when you get to flower somebodies wedding that you've known for donkeys. Having known Joe since the darling little age of 14, it was a joy to see him 10 years later on the happiest day of his life with lovely Shannon! They married at the gorgeous setting of The House Meadow who hand-plant their very own wild meadow every year, so each summers' weddings are p

See ya January, hello the promise of Spring!

At the beginning of this month we, along with 7 other gals, spent the day gettin' flowery with the babes that are Ellie and Anna over at the Flower Appreciation Society and we LOVED it! The day started off with coffee and pastries (YES) along with an introduction of each person, a little bit about themselves, how they'd got to where they were in life thus far and where they saw their floral journey heading. Being self employed, I spend a lot of my time on my own, so it was re
