About Me

Working with flowers has always been my passion from college passing all 3 exams with distinction to now winning awards as Regional winner and Best in Suffolk.

As a florist I specialise in weddings and events for Brides & Grooms all over East Anglia and base myself from the beautiful Suffolk village of Long Melford. My job as your florist is to understand and capture your vision and help you create a bespoke event thats exceptional which will also delight and surprise your guests.

I do have a lot of passion (a little bit of a flower geek!) knowledge and experience and proud to have worked with a wide variety of venues and happy brides. Its always a privilege to be asked to be your florist.

My Job

  • Its 5am starts and 5am finishes

  • Sleep deprivation for days on end

  • It’s meeting the nicest people you can imagine

  • It’s working in the pouring rain and all in-between

  • It’s lifting, cuts, bruises, climbing, stairs, ladders and trees

  • Playing with flowers and fabrics

  • It’s having the best team with you, its putting my passion,creativity, heart and soul into each design

  • It’s pushing the boundaries

  • It’s getting to know your clients, turning them into friends and creating something truly amazing for them

  • It’s the look on their faces as they walk in.

It’s when we’re done and I’m proud of what we’ve created and I know it’s all worth it and there is nothing else I’d rather do…
I do what I love, I love what I do xx

My Aim

So if you're looking at this Congratulation on getting engaged. I really do love a wedding.

However, you're probably oscillating between panic and excitement with so many different ideas and options out there from magazines, Pinterest it's overwhelming. My job is to understand you and offer as much guidance as you need. I cater for weddings of all sizes and themes and use the most beautiful, fresh flowers bringing your vision to life, creating a day that is truly unique and individual as each of my couples.

What Next

Let's talk...

I will need an initial consultation at my office, skype or phone so I can discuss your floral requirements and ideas for your day including vase and prop hire (which I am always adding to) and we will work together deciding on designs and styling. I will also discuss prices with you and budgets and give you an individual quote pricing everything individually. So if you feel that I'm the right florist for you please do get in touch.
