What a brilliant couple of days at the European Florist School! 🌸✨

I’ve had such a fantastic time attending this year’s European Florist School, hosted by the British Florist Association. Surrounded by flowers, creativity, incredibly talented people and lots of inspiration!

It was so lovely to meet all of the amazing designers and and watch them share their skills, ideas and passion for our industry. I especially loved taking part in the workshop with . Such an inspiring experience and definitely one of my highlights. 💕

We also had a fantastic evening talk from photographer Joe Horner who shared his knowledge and some brilliant advice on photography 📸🌿

A huge thank you to Marginpar for their support and beautiful flowers 😍 It was wonderful to meet Kate from and hear more about the amazing work the charity does to support people working across our industry.

And of course, a big thank you to OASIS® Floral Products (UK) for supporting the event - it’s always a pleasure to catch up with the team 🥰

Thank you to everyone involved in making the European Florist School such a special event. I absolutely loved it 💗

There is something incredibly special about creating farewell flowers 🕊️

This coffin spray was created with rich red roses, soft blush pinks, crisp whites and delicate textures using OASIS® Floral Products (UK) Renewal Foam.

It is always a privilege to create flowers for such important moments. Thank you for trusting me with them 🤍

When you get the opportunity to create an installation at RHS Sandringham… it would be rude to say no! 🌿

It was a real pleasure to work alongside the British Florist Association to create this floral corner within the Floral Marquee at the RHS Sandringham Flower Show.

The aim was to transform an open space into a peaceful spot where visitors could pause for a moment, take in the incredible displays around them, and simply enjoy the beauty of nature.

It’s amazing how a relatively small installation can completely change the feel of a space, and I loved bringing this little corner to life using seasonal flowers, natural textures and sustainable mechanics.

A huge thank you to Tom Brown Wholesale Florist for supplying such beautiful flowers. Their quality is always exceptional and helped bring the installation to life beautifully.

And finally, a special mention to the talented team at Dae Studio | Artist Led Design Studio for creating the stunning RHS installation in the show grounds.

A wonderful project, a beautiful setting and another reminder of why I love being part of this incredible industry. 🌿✨

✨ A new chapter… ✨

I’ve just returned home after an amazing family holiday in Florida, where this photo was taken. It gave me the chance to completely switch off, reflect, and get ready for what is going to be a very exciting new chapter.

Some of you may already have seen the news, but I’m absolutely delighted to be joining the British Florist Association as their new Membership Secretary.

It’s an incredible opportunity to support florists across the UK and to give something back to an industry that has given me so much throughout my career. After many years working as a florist, being able to support the wider floristry community feels incredibly special, and I honestly can’t wait to get started.

For the last ten years, The Flower House has been such a huge part of my life, and I simply couldn’t have reached this point without the support of my wonderful family, friends and customers. Whether you’ve ordered flowers, attended a workshop, recommended me to a friend, or simply followed my journey, thank you. It truly means the world.

With this exciting new role comes a change to The Flower House, as the business evolves in a new direction.

Going forward, The Flower House will be focusing on the work I love most: weddings, farewell flowers, workshops and other pre-booked floral commissions, rather than day-to-day gift bouquets.

This change allows me to continue creating beautiful flowers while dedicating time to supporting our wonderful floristry industry through my new role with the British Florist Association.

While my day-to-day work will look a little different, my love of creating flowers certainly hasn’t changed. I’m excited to embrace this next chapter and see where the journey takes me.

Thank you for being part of my journey so far. I’m so excited for what’s ahead, and I hope you’ll continue to follow along with me.
