A BIT ABOUT ME

I have twin 17 year old girls who keep me entertained! I am a keen gardener, enjoy the peace of it surrounded by my chickens and love exploring the countryside with my dogs. I love live music and watching bands and a good night out!

My favourite flower… I love so many for different reasons so no definite favourite

EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS

City & Guilds Level 3 diploma in technical floral design

I started at David Wayman Flowers in Manchester, initially for work experience and eventually running the business when he was on holidays. All aspects of floristry from contract flowers, weddings, funerals to running workshops in Selfridges and media city.

I also worked at citiblooms in Manchester and gained a lot of experience in large scale floristry, corporate events, weddings, magazine shoots, large scale corporate installations and contract work.

I started my own business last year and have been building it up through farmers markets, wedding fayres, workshops and now weddings. Alongside this I am now freelancing at Living Flowers shop in Manchester and at the Luxury Events Group.

PREFERRED TYPE OF FLORISTRY WORK

I love event floristry but also making beautiful bouquets for customers. I enjoy interacting with people and seeing the joy when someone has made something they never thought they could at one of my workshops.
