My interest in flowers was sparked when I was working as a Head of Department at a stately home estate and golf club. Every weekend I would see the florists bringing in the flower arrangements for weddings, parties and events.
I was absolutely fascinated by the different styles, flower varieties, colours, scents and textures. On one occasion, a flower arrangement was left behind and I was allowed to take it home. It made me realise how much flowers can totally transform a space and lift your mood.
I wanted to make some flower arrangements, but I'm the type of person that if I want to do something, I want to do it properly. It was this that prompted me to look into flower courses and shortly after I enrolled myself on to a two year college floristry course.
Fast forward many years, I now have a wealth of experience making floral arrangements for weddings and events, often working at some of the UK’s most iconic venues. I also have experience of making contract flowers for 4 & 5 star Central London hotels, corporate offices, high-end establishments, michelin starred restaurants and UHNW private residences.
My passion for floristry, especially for weddings and events has taken me around the world, working on some incredibly breath-taking and exclusive weddings and events, including a Royal Wedding.
