I have a cutting garden and grow flowers for fresh bouquets in the Summer, but also love the beauty of the faded flowers and foliage when they are dried and combined with foraged plants, such as wild carrot, grasses, hops and old man’s beard.
Bouquets and wreaths
In my dried flower bouquets and wreaths you will find some really unusual flowers, which you might not have seen dried before and these, along with the wilder touches, create a contemporary look with a loose, natural feel. I aim to grow the vast majority of the plants I use, but where I need to, I buy from British growers.
My hand-tied bouquets and decorative wreaths are tied with naturally-dyed ribbon, which are soft in tone and suit the faded hues of the flowers. Each piece that I make comes tagged with a list of the plants used and details of how to care for the dried flowers to get the most from them.
Wedding flowers
I love working with the bride-to-be to personally select the flowers for the bouquet, buttonholes and flower combs, creating something individual and to be treasured for years to come.
