A BIT ABOUT ME

I have a passion for seasonal flowers, which extends to growing - I have my own cut flower garden where I source a lot of the flowers I work with from.

In my other life I have worked for many years in a historic house and as part of this get to style spaces for events, which is where my passion for styling with flowers emerged from. After creating all the flowers for my sisters' wedding, I decided that working with flowers was definitely for me and so in the past year I have completed a career change course and set up my own business.

I have a passion for creating beautiful floral designs that bring people joy and would love to work with different florists in my area!

My favourite flower… Astrantia

EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS

I have completed a career change course at the Sussex Flower School which covered all aspects of wedding and event, retail and tribute floristry.

I have previously worked on several weddings as part of a team and have also worked on a couple of larger installations for shoots independently. I create regular hand-tied bouquet orders for clients and have experience of making funeral designs.

LEVEL:

Beginner - 12 months in floristry
