The Velvet Stem

Come and join me for a lovely festive evening of Christmas wreath making in the cosy conservatory at The Coach at Edenfield.

I’ll guide you through making your own Christmas wreath from start to finish, using lots of beautiful fresh foliage and a selection of seasonal decorations. Everything you need will be provided, so you can simply enjoy the evening and take home a wreath you’ve made yourself, ready to hang on your door for Christmas.

Tickets are £50 and include all materials, full guidance throughout the workshop and a welcome glass of fizz on arrival.

You don’t need any experience at all, and you’re more than welcome to come along on your own or with friends.

I’ll be running 2 sessions: 4pm - 6pm and 7pm - 8pm so that you can choose whichever your prefer.

A little look at one of last year’s autumn wreaths 🍂

This year’s orders for an autumn wreaths are now open, and I’ll be making just 12 in total.

Each one will be made to order using fresh seasonal foliage, full of all those beautiful rich colours and textures that autumn brings. As every wreath is created individually, no two will be exactly the same, and they’ll dry down beautifully as the season goes on.

Available from 14th September:

Standard size £55
Large size £75

Message me to order yours before all 12 are spoken for 🍁

Autumn wreath are now available to pre-order 🍂

I really did um and ah about bringing my autumn wreath workshops back this year, especially after so many of you said you’d be interested when I shared the poll on my stories.

But after only just slowly starting to return from maternity leave, there just hasn’t been enough time to plan them properly, so I’ll be going straight into my Christmas wreath workshops instead. This means ordering one of the autumn wreaths will be the only way to get your hands on one this year.

I promise the workshops will be back in 2027, as they were such a good event last year 🍁

I’ll be making just 12, with each one individually created using beautiful fresh seasonal foliage in rich autumnal tones. They’ll dry beautifully too, so you can enjoy yours throughout the season.

Available from 14th September:

Standard size £55
Large size £75

Once the 12 have gone, they’ve gone. Message me to reserve yours 🍁

We’re back 🌸

Well, sort of. I’ve still been flowering pre-booked weddings and events during my ‘maternity leave’, but haven’t taken any bouquet orders up until this week. I’m now starting to take on orders, although in limited numbers and can’t accommodate anything last minute.

Please message or call to place an order 🤍

This bouquet is £65 and includes the most beautiful reflexed roses and hydrangea.

Not a flower in sight, but my favourite picture from today’s wedding delivery 🤎

Just me, Ronnie and my spray bottle, captured by a lovely person who offered to take a photo as we were leaving.

Flowers, but make it whimsy 🎀✨🍒🌸🫧🌈🦄🩷✨🍓

*This one is just for fun 🩷 Charms are AI, added to a real bouquet I previously made (I’ll never post AI flowers - they make my eyes want to bleed)*

Baby blue with soft white and ivory tones has been one of my most requested colour schemes from brides this season.

Here’s a large bowl arrangement of hydrangea, delphinium, roses and ranunculus, that was used for the wedding ceremony and then moved to the top table afterwards. I believe the best arrangements are the ones that can be used and enjoyed throughout the day. It’s more sustainable, and it means you get more from your flower budget too.

Get in touch to discuss how we can make the most of your wedding flowers.

Just ten seconds of baby blue hydrangeas, because sometimes that’s all you need 🩵

I’ll never have a catalogue of stock designs for you to choose funeral flowers from, because I believe they should reflect the person they’re being created for.

I want to hear about them, their personality, the colours they loved, the flowers that hold a memory and little details that meant something to them.

It’s one of the final things you’ll choose for someone you love and I’ll always do my very best to do right by them 🤍

How beautiful is this simple arrangement of 15 large headed, long stemmed tonal salmon peonies? 😍
