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

When Ben and Bobi first sent over their ideas and brief, I was instantly excited and my brain just went into overdrive. Wildflower meadows in a historic central London venue? YAAAS! Their venue was the gorgeous Stationers Hall, right around the corner from St Pauls Cathedral (and when I say right around the corner, I walked out of the venue's road and practically tripped over St Pauls!) The history of the venue itself is so interesting, and it definitely had a vibe like no ot

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

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

I. MUST. GET. BETTER. AT. BLOGGING. Anyway, I'm here now. So lets do what we do best and talk FLOWERS. For those that don't know, Leeds Castle is a 10th century castle hidden away in the beautiful Kentish countryside of Maidstone. (And when I say hidden, I mean its gonna take a good small hike just to get from the car park across the grounds..!) They are renowned for their summer music gigs, historical events but also surprisingly for their floristry. Leeds Castle has its own

Hello beautiful flower friends! I hope 2017 is everything you'd hoped it to be & more! Here at Hedges and Flowers we're having a BLAST of a year so far! I can't quite believe how quickly the business has picked up and am so overwhelmed at people's willingness to entrust me with their floral needs! A lot has happened in the last 8 weeks from designing our first funeral to planning our first wedding this summer, along with a whole other host of floral activity. Anyway back to t

33 days into 2017 and I am writing my first blog post.. which was supposed to be my new years resolution. Never mind, we're here now. And that is exactly what this post is about; WE. ARE. HERE. 2017 has begun with the birth of my very own business; Hedges and Flowers floral design. After hours and hours slaving away at Photoshop and other creative suites I am proud to now present my new brand, website and logo (which I created myself YAAAS). Alright thats the end of my own-tr
