SUSSEX WEDDING FLORIST

Floral Framing ▫ The ICA played host to our gorgeous June couple surrounded by lush, bright red peonies. The flowers moved, creating an exquisite backdrop. An 8-piece band and the couple filled the compact space with love! ▫ Glass vases overflowed with poppies, hot chocolate roses, sweet William, peonies, and foxtail lilies! Flowers reimagined. Clustered blooms reaching for the sun. These flowers defy the usual confines of traditional design. ▫ The aisle was lined with poppies, roses, and peony bowls. Grateful for the planners, venue, photographer, and florists who brought it all together. @revelryeventsuk @katebunnyhampson @ithinkthatyouaremagic @bohotany @myposyneighbour @michelasasanelli Jameeka Alex Amulet - - - #WeddingFloristLondon #WeddingFloristSussex #seasonalweddings #foamfree #BrideToBe2026 #LondonBride #londonweddings #londonbride2025 #peonywedding #redwedding #icawedding

Cow Parsley & Peonies ▫️A, quite literally, heavenly staircase display of stunning seasonal delights, the first of the seasons peonies amongst rambling tellima, tulips, cow parsley, birch and hespira. ▫️Young birch is my favourite foliage. It's so feathery at this point, but unless conditioned properly it can go over so quickly. ▫️At The ICA, designed for impact and woven with candles for ultra romantic effect. Trailing the staircase up to the dining area. All created in water tight containers, so absolutely no toxic foam was used. ▫️I love the world. So, in this business we do whatever we can to reduce the impact of the industry on the environment. This can be done, it just takes more time and a little more work sometimes. ▫️ Huge thanks to angels @myposyneighbour @pheeking @kitty.drury @bohotany for bringing this magic to life. And HUGE thanks to @hannahjonesphoto for these amazing pics🤍🤍 - - - #seasonalweddingflowers #seasonalflorist #londonwedding #londoflorist #londonbride #bride2024 #ica #icawedding #floralstaircase #floralfoamfree #luxuryweddingflorist #grownnotflown #peonywedding #whiteandyellow #springbride #springweddings #fyp #littleblackbook

1 0 ▫️M O N T H S Spent the last 10 months coming back off a very sick and first trimester ridden road trip straight into building a new home, in a new city, with a new perspective. ▫️ Travelling to and from London, hoping no one would notice I was pregnant because I didn't know how to navigate work and the impending probability of necessary time off as mat leave. Let me tell you, those wreath workshops were TOUGH. Just wanted to vomit the whole time. ▫️ I've built my sweet business on a love for seasonal flowers, the craft of relationship building and to truly not take the absolute piss in an industry where we've been trodden on, underpaid and completely overlooked by being "too expensive". Making a baby is hard, building a floristry business is really hard- but I've got so much faith that all my years have been worth it and these few months learning to be a mother will only enrich my skills, who I am and my perspective on Studio Dandelion. ▫️ I'll be back on proposals in September x

S P R U N G Just a wee update. And from this evening my emails will be off for 6 weeks, unless we've been organising your wedding/ event 🔆✨ Looking forward to the weddings we've got in July & August and September. I'll just be getting a little hand with those ones 🐣 The biggest hugest thanks to the best flower pals I could ever ask for. And all the ones who I get to work with in all the jobs, and all the suppliers. You're all so f***ING special and we all work so hard to make even the smallest things possible. Gigantic kudos you actual angels. Here's to a summer of madness, fun and all the flowers 🔆🌸🌹🌼

C O M P L A I N T ▫️ Not really as it's from my dad. And it didn't really happen anyway, but maybe I got your attention. ▫️ This week I had the pleasure of creating a design for the @thefloraleras_exhibitors and mine was a sweet mix of fresh and dried. I can't help but LOVE bluebells. The best. I have noticed so many since moving to Brighton, just meadows of them. And as I drive to and from London every week, I notice Spring on the M23 is a mix between beautiful fresh colours and crunchy old dead branches. ▫️ So underneath all the chat squares, is my exhibition piece. An Ode to The M23. Using Cornish grown bluebells, dried English hydrangea and Alamanchier branches from a job back in March. All using completely non toxic and reusable mechanics. 📸 Cover photo by @jessica_moore_photography_

K N O W I N G ▫️ I know everyone gets bogged down with trying to BE the thing. Like staying true to yourself but also being appealing to the market, to the trends and continuously being 'liked' and wowing everyone. WELL, I lost the plot. ▫️ I'm going to be slower on Instagram over the next season because honestly, there's too much going on. It's a great portfolio but my god I've lost myself in mayhem of trying to be ON all the time. ▫️ Tell me how you're going to be enjoying the spring this year. And I hope it's getting ofs these weird screens and seeking nature or natural environments! ▫️ Huge thanks to @fleuropean for being unabashedly you and helping me to find my vibe again. Oh and alllllll the babes on the crew, you all deserve wings. True angels!

M A S T E R S ▫️ What better way to celebrate the Easter Sunday then a little round of applause for my Dutch Master's Trial. ▫️ Of course I decided to challenge myself and used the largest vessel at the @fleuropean course. And use colours that usually confuse me, that really soft palette, with grey lilac and pale yellows- but you know what, although there are some guys that I wished I'd peeled back a bit more, ultimately it was such a wonderful way to take my time and consider every stem. This is EXACTLY what I wanted from revisiting the craft, the art. It's not just business. It is design and craft. ▫️ Here's a few images for you to see the design process and a huge heartfelt enormous thanks to Emily for her wonderful process, and sharing that with us. And alllllll the babes from the last week, I miss you x

I N T E N T I O N A L ▫️ I took myself off on a flower CPD course that would usually be such an expense that I wouldn't think I deserve it but, I listened to something in me, and was intentional about making it happen. It might seem really cheesy, but in just three days of design and inspiration I have remembered why I fell in love with this career. And it's not 'playing with flowers all day', trust me. ▫️ Being a truly seasonal wedding florist is not an easy feat, the flowers can bloom late or early, the colour palette can vary and honestly some of the stems just wouldn't cut the mustard. But creating with the awkward stems or more challenging colour ways has been SO exciting. I love a challenge and it has reinforced why I love making wedding flowers- each design is unique, unmatched and genuinely considered. ▫️ Here's a bridal bouquet with burnt orange, creams and oranges. I wanted some dark chocolate cosmos vibes too but nothing would do that. I settled for highlights of cream in the daff. What do you think? I would love to know!

L I E S ▫️ Some of the things you'll never hear me say. I'm a wedding and events florist based in Sussex, UK and I work truly seasonally. And there's just a few things that I think I have never and will never say.... But I guess they say, never say never. ▫️ I've been reflecting so much on what my dream weddings are, have been and will be. And a lot of it comes down to the fact that my clients and I are aligned. So this is a gentle tongue in cheek way of getting to know me a bit better. ▫️ If you have to think about what we would never hear you say, what would it be? 📸 By @taylorhughesphotography

H I L L S I would die on. Just a fun one for the grid, so you get a little feel of the way I work and what you might expect me to say in our meetings. Ultimately, I want the best for you and your wedding day and sometimes it's just down to explaining the professional pitfalls of having these unnecessary bits and bobs on your wedding day. Let's personalise it, not keep it's stuff and traditional. ▫️ Gonna try and work a trial reel out of this, so I can somehow reach more couples and engaged babes that are in need of a wedding florist this year or next. If you book me within 72 hours of your preliminary consultation, I'm offering a 10% discount off the whole design (from Blossom packages and upwards). ▫️ What do you think? What are you hills to die on?

R E C E N T L Y Wins and Fails. I'm starting to meant and practice more. Before I head for a week of, hopefully, being inspired and working with the season and truly learning to slow down and appreciate the art. My work requires slowness, in the design, in the brief, in it all and I find when I rush I cannot fathom the work I've created.. it feels so, lacking. ▫️ It's great to look back at photos in my storage to know that I have always taken mornings or days out to just practice. The poppies were bought for nothing in particular, the daffs and tulips were left overs. I charge for mock ups because the variety costs money, but ultimately if I continue to practice the mock ups won't be a space for learning but just a space for showing and expressing. ▫️ Do you like seeing behind the scenes work? Do you start to understand the methodology more? I'd love to know!
