A lovely Bloom Club session creating meadow boxes and flower baskets 🌸🌿

I absolutely loved putting these together using a mix of seasonal blooms, soft pastel tones and vibrant pops of colour. From delicate pinks and purples to cheerful golden gerberas and sunflowers , every arrangement has its own little personality ✨

There’s something so satisfying about creating natural, meadow-inspired designs and watching all the textures and colours come together beautifully 💐

Which one would you choose — the basket or the meadow box? 🌼💕

Another hanging basket made for our garden and I’m honestly obsessed with all the soft purples, pinks and little pops of yellow 💜🌼

Love seeing everything come together and can’t wait for it all to grow out over summer ☀️
…also treated myself to another dahlia because I clearly have no self control when it comes to flowers 😂🌺

Also a little update on the hanging basket I made recently 🌸✨

Today’s little project 🌸✨
Made up this gorgeous hanging basket with a mix of bright blooms and soft pastel tones ready to bring some colour into the garden 🌿💐

Couldn’t resist treating myself while plant shopping either… another dahlia somehow came home with me 👀😂🌺

Honestly loving spending time creating these little floral arrangements lately 🤍

🌸✨ Bloom Club today with Wild Jasmine ✨🌸

Spent today making hanging baskets for our garden and honestly loved every minute of it 🪴💗
So many pretty colours, fresh flowers and getting creative with some lovely people🌿

Nothing better than seeing everything come together and imagining how beautiful they’ll look once they’re all blooming 🌸✨

So grateful for today’s order 🤍

A lovely customer asked for two pieces, and it was such a joy to create these. From the soft whites and blush pinks to the deeper, richer tones, every stem was chosen to complement each other beautifully and bring a fresh, elegant feel.

Thank you so much for trusting me with your flowers – it truly means the world and I appreciate every single order 🌸✨

Spent the day at a Grow Your Own Cut Flowers workshop with Wild Jasmine florist and flower school 🌱🌸

We planted a mix of beautiful flowers including amaranthus, larkspur, gyp and cosmos and learnt more about growing my own flowers and to start my own little flower patch . Such a lovely hands-on day getting messy with soil, seeds and seedlings in the sunshine ☀️

Can’t wait to watch everything start to grow over the next few months 🤍✨

Absolutely loved how this wreath turned out ❤️🌿

The rich cerise roses really stand out against all the different tones of greenery, with deep burgundy leaves and softer, delicate textures running throughout. It’s got such a full, lush feel to it while still looking natural and slightly wild.

The mix of colours works so nicely together — bold, warm reds paired with fresh greens and those darker, autumnal touches just bring everything to life 🍂 It feels really seasonal, cosy and elegant all at the same time.

So happy with the overall shape and how balanced it looks from every angle ❤️

Final week of my gold course. A massive thank you to Wild Jasmine florist and flower school🍂✨

We chose a warm, autumnal colour palette for this piece — rich oranges, deep reds and fresh greens, with snapdragons (one of my favourites) added in for height and movement 🌿🧡

Loved playing around with texture and shape on this one and seeing how all the colours work together. Such a nice way to finish the course 🤍

A big step today… working on my first arch installation for Wild Jasmine florist and flower school 🌿✨

The base structure and mechanics were already in place, and I focused on greening up the arch and adding the flowers to bring it all to life 🌸 It was so interesting working on something at this scale and thinking about placement, balance and how everything flows together.

Watching it transform from a bare frame into a full, colourful, summer/spring arch was such a good feeling 🤍 Definitely learnt a lot and can’t wait to keep building my skills!
