Someone that loves roses as much as I do... yay! 🌹 It's always lovely to work with clients who truly love flowers. Some brides-to-be know exactly which roses they would like by name; some just love most flowers and are happy to let me choose within their colour scheme or theme. 👰🤵 And you know what? Either is fine! Just so long as you're happy to chat about flowers over tea and cake, I am sure we'll be able to create something fabulous together! 🍰 🍵 I love this review too, as it totally sums up the service I like to provide to my clients. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I'm looking forward to some consultations over the weekend and hoping for some fabulous flower chatter! I still have some later summer dates available for 2020 and I'm starting to book into 2021, so do get in touch if you're looking for a florist for your big day! ☎️✉️ . . . . . #weddingflorist #leedsflorist #ratedflorist #harrogateflorist #wherebeesmeet #harrogatewedding #yorkwedding #leedswedding #bridetobe2020 #weddingflowers #positivereview #greatfeedback #customerfeedback #happycustomer #positivereview #floristsofinstagram
A _ D A Y _ I N _ T H E _ L I F E _ O F . . . . Th A _ D A Y _ I N _ T H E _ L I F E _ O F . . . . This is me in my diddy car, packed to the roof top with flowers... and it's just another day in my flowery world!!! 🤓💐 . I know I'm smiling; but sometimes travelling with flowers is a bit testing!!! I often wonder if I'll ever get pulled over for having too many palm leaves blocking my rear view window!!! 🌿🚗 . Okay, so sometimes I use a van because there's too many blooms to transport; but I love my little (environmentally friendly) Toyota so much. I've actually got so good at getting amazing numbers of bouquets and other arrangements into it, Mary Poppins has been on asking for tips!!! ☎️ . If you're in need of a friendly, creative florist just holler. If you relate to my story I'm here to share your pain!!! #sharingiscaring . . . . . #floristsofinstagram #carfullofblooms #flowermovers #wherebeesmeet #leedsflorist #flowerstories #thestruggleisreal #floristlife #lifeofaflorist #indiebusiness #girlboss #independentbusiness #supportlocal #livingmydreams #wherebeesmeet #leedsflorist #travelswithflowers #smartphonephoto #inmycar #jampacked #fullyloaded #yorkshirevenues #yorkshireevents #leedslife #igersleeds #leedsleedsleeds #leedslife #leedsstories #leedsbusiness
W H O _ K N E W ? ? ? . It would seem that 2020 is W H O _ K N E W ? ? ? . It would seem that 2020 is turning into the year where dried flowers and grasses are totally the thing to have at your wedding! . And it's so fascinating how flower growers and farmers respond to trends. These bouquets are all made up of dried flowers. Who knew? . When I think of dried flowers the first thing that comes to mind is something that looks dry and crispy and all the colour has faded out of it. But these beauties are so full of colour and looking completely gorgeous! . I might just have to try some of these pretties out very soon! Watch this space...! . . . . . #leedsflorist #harrogateflorist #yorkshireflorist #wherebeesmeet #flowerlover #driedflowers #driedgrasses #curatednature #floralbouquet #colourfulbouquets #alliseeispretty #prettyblooms #floristlife #discoveringnewthings #newflowers #bridetobe #bridetobe2020 #2020wedding #2021wedding #colourfulwedding #stylishwedding #modernbride #trysomethingnew #yorkshirevenues #letsgetmarried #flowerideas #weddingflowerideas #weddingflowerinspiration
G O _ B I G _ O R _ G O _ H O M E ! ! ! . I do lov G O _ B I G _ O R _ G O _ H O M E ! ! ! . I do love a statement centrepiece! This luscious arrangement was placed on a 1.5 metre tall glass vase. The vase was a perfect height so that guests could easily sit and chat across the table, with a clear view underneath the design. . And I'm totally crushing on all those luscious green palms! 🌴 I added a few white flowers, Anthurium or Flamingo Flower, to complete the design; but just greenery totally works too. . Chatting to a bride to be about the design, she asked about adding lights to it. What a great idea! In fact, the battery pack for a set of lights can be easily concealed within the greenery and the lights could trail down inside the vase. That would look pretty special! . I also created this design completely foam free, using a moss and chicken wire 'blob' into which all the stems are inserted. This in turn was held in a study container. It was the first time I have tried this technique and was super pleased with how it worked. I've taken the palm leaves and flowers out of the moss and I can use the mechanic again; even better! . So as well as looking sensational; this design was also kinder to the environment. 🌍 . Looking fabulous at the stunning @themanorrooms which is a beautiful venue! . . . . #tableflowers #floralcentrepiece #nofloralfoam #foamfreefloristry #foamfreeflowers #kindertotheenvironment #statementflorals #wherebeesmeet #ethicalflorist #ethicalflowers #chickenwirefloristry #oldstylefloristry #traditionalflorist #foamfree #tallcentrepiece #highimpactflowers #greenflowers #palm #palmleaves #anthurium #statementflowers #barnwedding #flamingoflower #tablecentrepiece #leedswedding #hullwedding #beverleywedding #drewtons .

F L O W E R S + R I B B O N S . Who's going to adm F L O W E R S + R I B B O N S . Who's going to admit to being a ribbon obsessive too! I've always had a love or ribbons and I don't quite know where it comes from... 🤔 😜 Maybe it was the fabric, button and ribbon supplies we had at home when I was growing up... ? A trip to the fabric store and haberdashery was quite a treat for us! . Then we would bring our bounty home to make something unique and fabulous ... I made some black and white paisley patterned (very wide!) flares in sewing class at school once ... . Those were good times! Being creative totally runs in my blood! 💉 . When I'm chatting with my brides and their bridesmaids about their bouquets, I'm equally obsessed with how to tie the flowers up and make them pretty. 🎗️ Silk ribbon. Crossgrain ribbon. Hessian. Wire edged ribbon you can curl up. .... The possibilities are endless. As are the colours. A beautiful ribbon can also finish a bouquet off perfectly. It's always part of the fabulous flower planning conversation! . As ever, get in touch if you want to chat about wedding flower ideas! Just make sure you want to chat about ribbons too... 💐💒💍👰🤵 . . . . . 📸@photokathryn #weddingflowers #bouquetwithribbons #weddingribbon #ihavethisthingwithflowers #weddingideas #instawed #weddinginspo #romanticwedding #weddingfloral #weddingdecorideas #luxurywedding #thedailywedding #weddingcenterpiece #ceremonydecor #eventplanning #ceremonyflowers #weddingplanner #weddingplanning #flowerstagram#embracingtheseasons #seasonpoetry #fineartflorist #fineartflowers #nofloralfoam #gatherandcurate #gatherandfeast #seasonalfloralstyle #gardenstyle #wherebeesmeet #leedsflorist
