A fabulous wedding held at Shendish Manor in September. Thank you both for letting me be part of your special day.
My First Competition Piece
An amazing weekend at BFA Fleurex 2016. Here's my first ever competition piece. I learnt so much and had good feedback from the judges, so despite being a total wreck of nerves beforehand and up at 5am to finish it in my hotel room, with really bad lighting, onwards and upwards next time! (The spec was for a "fantasy" parasol for a child). I took my "fantasy" to be an Enchanted Forest!
Congratulations to Nikki and Mike - 3rd September 2016
A huge congratulations to Nikki and Mike who were married on Saturday at Berkhamsted Chapel and afterwards at Haresfoot in a marquee. Another lovely family to work with, and I hope you like the designs.

I'm really looking forward to using my knowledge to continue creating designs for which I am truly passionate.

Kat and Chris' wedding - July 2016
Wow, the most relaxed wedding I have done to date. A tepee in the garden with a rose arch for the ceremony and plenty of English garden flowers to compliment the theme. A huge thank you to the Sully family for making my job so rewarding.
Summer is here!
I'm not sure where the past few months have gone, but it has certainly been a very busy time. I have finally finished my Master's, and am just waiting on my Practical Exam results, which hopefully will be in just as my daughter receives her A level results! Apart from studying tirelessly for three months, I have managed to squeeze in a few weddings too. If you are looking to get married next year, have a look at my face book page too, for lots more images of my work. Enjoy the rest of the summer and more news to follow very soon.
A little update
The end of my Master's is almost in sight. The theory exam is done, the assignments finished, with only my portfolio to go, and a horrible plant identification exam looming next week. My head is spinning with latin names! The calendar is filling up fast with weddings, and I am trying to find some dates to fit in a few workshops. Do let me know if you are interested.
I am also thinking of running "hen party" workshops, whereby you come as a group of friends, have some fun creating a design of your choice, with lunch in the garden and some fizz too. These can be booked at a date of your choice.
Here are a few pictures of some work I have done recently and looking forward to all my weddings this summer. Nicky
CRESSIDA & JONNY - A PERFECT MATCH!
A truly wonderful day and wow what a wedding. I was so lucky to be part of Jonny and Cressida's special day. It really is an honour and privilidge when you create the wedding flowers for friends that you have known for so long! Here are a few pictures of their special day.
Congratulations to Caroline and Oliver
Congratulations to Caroline and Oliver on their wedding day yesterday held at Ashridge House. A huge honour to create wedding flowers in such an iconic building. The rooms are truly amazing and the views to die for. Thank you Anne, for letting me help with Caroline's special day.
MOTHER'S DAY
It's not too late to order bouquets, posies, pre-arranged vases, floral buckets of arranged flowers, galvanised containers, and much more. There's plenty of flowers in the studio, so give me a call if you would like to place an order. Have a lovely Mother's Day, whatever you are doing.

February 2016 - Congratulations to Katie and Peter
Wow, what an amazing wedding! A beautiful marquee in the garden, on the windiest day of the year, but nothing deterred Katie and Peter from having an amazing day! Here are some photos of their wedding flowers.
News, and catch up!
I can't believe it has been so long, since I last posted anything on my blog. Well I can actually, as I have been so busy studying for my Master's, only 4 months to go! Christmas was frantic with orders, decorating houses, and I completed two weddings the week of Christmas! At last I can catch my breath before the wedding season starts again next week. My two weddings before Christmas were so rewarding, and in particular I must thank the Archer family for making me feel so involved in their big day for Lucy and Will.
If you are looking for a florist for your big day, have a look on my Face Book page, where I post lots of photos of my work. I will however be updating my website with more wedding photos. Until next time. Nicky

A Real English Country Wedding
Congratulations to Tor and Dan on their Wedding Day - 12th September 2015
Congratulations to Dominique and Jonathan - 15th August 2015
A wedding with everything. A lot of planning and lots of designing. We eventually came up with the gold table stands made from banister spindles and marble bases for the 15 tables. A huge door arch, and peonies in August for her bouquet, kept me challenged!
A Sneaky August Workshop
A lovely day teaching Penny and Shelley to make buttonholes and posies for their daughter and son's upcoming wedding in September.
I will be holding another two workshops in September, so don't forget to book your place. I can take up to 6 people, and the course includes lunch and refreshments. £65 per head.

Maria and Matt - Saturday 8th August 2015
This weeks wedding was a totally different style of wedding, with soft, cottage flowers contrasting with the gorgeous grey/blue dresses of the bridesmaids and Maria's stunning lace dress. The four little bridesmaids were adorable, with their gyp bouquets. The wedding took place at St. Peter and St Paul, Tring, and the reception was held at Hamden House, Great Missenden.
