About

MY DESIGNS AREN'T JUST BEAUTIFUL; THEY ARE ALIVE

As an experienced award-winning florist, I have an excellent understanding of colour, shape and texture combinations within the huge variety of seasons stems, and how they work together to create a breath-taking design.

I create florals that feel like they’ve grown in place, where every petal, stem, and vine move with the air, responding to its surroundings. My designs aren't just beautiful; they are alive, breathing new life into wedding spaces with movement, depth, and the wild beauty of nature.

If you want stiff, symmetrical perfection, look elsewhere. If you want florals that leave guests in awe, welcome, you’ve found your florist.

AND BEYOND THE FLOWERS

My presence is something my clients value just as much as my floral designs. Weddings are full of emotions, and I bring a steady, calming energy to the process through my 10 years+ of experience as a police detective, ensuring that the journey to your wedding day is as effortless as the florals I create.

I am based in Essex, however, I work all over the UK and I am happy to travel.

TAKE IT FROM THEM

“WOW... just wow! Rosie (and her team on the day), thank you for making our wedding flower dreams come true.

Flowers were so important to us and Rosie brought our vision to life, even better than we could have ever dreamt they would be. My flowers complimented my dress and our whole wedding theme perfectly.

We discussed what sort of vibe we were going for and it was incredibly helpful as Rosie has done so many stunning weddings, so we had plenty of inspiration.

We have had countless compliments on our wedding flowers.

The most special was probably the Registrar telling us that in all her 20 years of conducting marriages, we had the most stunning flowers she had ever seen. That really says it all.

We had a few changes from our initial booking, but nothing was too much trouble and Rosie was amazing with her suggestions. I also had a last minute request of additional flowers for a friend of mine who couldn't make our wedding a few days before and she created a beautiful little arrangement that I delivered afterwards so that she could still be part of our celebrations.

Overall, we were completely blown away and had the most magical day. Rosie, you are incredible at what you do. We cannot recommend you enough!” - Mr & Mrs Elsdon

Want to know what makes your florals feel more expensive?
(spoiler alert, its not flowers in every space!)

Heres the truth, more often than not, couples will unknowingly and unintentionally spread their budget too thin by having low impact florals everywhere. For example, a common request is foliage on beams and chandeliers. I will tell you now what I tell all my couples.. No-one is looking up a beautiful chandelier thinking ‘That could have really benefited from some foliage’🧐😆
Trust me.

So the answer?
Stop wasting your money spreading it too thin and invest in one statement piece. A statement piece for the most special moment of your life, the moment you say ‘I DO’.
And after the ceremony, usually these can be moved to become the backdrop to your top table.

Statement piece = multiple use, maximum impact!
Will your guests remember the bud vases on every flat surface? No.
Will they remember a beautiful floral arch? Yes. 🙌🏼

Lets start talking about your wedding flowers. DM me to open the conversation.

Venue @stosythprioryestate
Photographer @gracephamphotography

If you have booked a venue with history, your florals deserve to tell a story.

St Osyth Priory is not only rich in history, but also in natural beauty. This stunning venue has over 1,400 years of culture and history and has been a family home for over 20 years. And what better way to compliment such such a stunning venue, than with flowers to enhance the natural beauty.
Think towering arches, floral meadows that creep up walls, backdrops that transform a space and wow your guests.

If this sounds like what you’re dreaming of, if you crave an effortlessly luxurious aesthetic, and not stiff and traditional arrangements, let’s chat. DM to start the discussion for your wedding flowers.

📸 @gracephamphotography

Thank you to my lovely couple J&E for a wonderful review of their flowers and my service. J&E celebrated their marriage at the stunning @stosythprioryestate last week with a vibrant Spring colour palette and it was so gorgeous!

When you secure me as your wedding florist, you aren’t just booking a florist who delivers pretty flowers, you are booking a supplier with a wholehearted passion for the whole service I deliver, from the first consultation, to your wedding day. I liaise with your venue and fellow suppliers, I always use only the best quality flowers and I bring a reassuringly sense of calm to the whole process.

If you would like to discuss your wedding flowers, reach out to me via DM to start the conversation.

📸 @gracephamphotography

From Start to Finish, come on a wedding with me.

Biggest congratulations to J&E, who celebrated their marriage yesterday at @stosythprioryestate
It was a vibrant Spring wedding, starting with a ceremony outside the stunning backdrop of the gatehouse. It was a beautiful colourful celebration of love!

I absolutely adored this setup, from the ombré arch columns to the wild centrepieces and I think this bouquet is up there with one of my favourites.
Thank you to @partysquared_weddings for the candelabras for the centrepieces.

Icelandic poppies have also now topped my list of favourite flowers. 😍

Thank you @runaandbloom for all your help on this. 🫶🏼

What happens on the run up to your wedding?

Well, I have my first wedding of the year this week, its a vibrant Spring palette so lots of pops of colour! This is what the next few days look like:

Today all the flowers arrive which will need full conditioning & a rest after their transportation, this means unpacking & cutting & stripping every stem of leaves, and placing it in water.

Tomorrow the fun starts with the design prep. 10 centrepieces, 10 floor meadows and bouquets to make.

On the wedding morning it will be delivery and setup along with building an arch on site.
Saturday will be takedown & collection of the arch.

There are no hidden fees with me.
The conditioning, design prep, delivery & logistics are all aspects of the labour charge added to your quote ☺️

DM me to find oit more. 🫶🏼

The untold truth about your wedding flowers explained!

Spoiler alert 🚨 You’re not just paying for flowers, you’re paying for the expertise and experience of the florist. Not to mention consultations, admin, site visits, ordering, flower prep, staff, and rent (to name just a few!)
So this is what you can expect from me and whats included in your investment.

* Quality Matters: I only source and use the freshest, premium flowers, that not only last longer but also look more vibrant and luxurious.

* Expert Design: As an experienced wedding florist, I know how to tailor designs to fit your style, whether you want a romantic, classic, or modern vibe. It’s not just about flowers, it’s about creating a cohesive look for your entire wedding, that flows from ceremony to reception. This starts with a mood-board and visual mockup.

* Personalisation: From our first consultation to the finalisation meeting, I will take the time to understand your vision and provide bespoke arrangements that reflect your personality and wedding aesthetic.

* Stress-Free Planning: I will handle every detail from sourcing to delivery, venue and supplier communications, and design and transport logistics, ensuring your flowers arrive and look flawless on your wedding day.

👀 Want to know a secret? ☺️

A vulnerable one for me as I have never felt the urge to share my background on here, but the truth is, there are so many transferable skills from being a police officer to running a business and I do believe that my experience has wholeheartedly shaped me and the service I deliver.

What I have always loved was connecting with people — being there to assist during their hardest and most meaningful moments. Now, I get to do that in a different way.

So if you are looking for a florist that not only delivers beautiful designs, but you can undoubtedly trust, I am ready to chat. 🫶🏼

For the couples that dream of a statement feature. 🙌🏼

From box, to bucket, to life. This is how your flowers arrive and the finished setup.

I don’t believe in forcing stems into place; I let them sway, lean, and flow, creating designs that feel like they belong. Designs that are not mass produced, but designed for you and your wedding.

If you would like to discuss your wedding flowers then drop me a message to start the conversation 🫶🏼

Because you can never go wrong with an all Rose bouquet 😍🫶🏼

Want to know what rules I break when it comes to wedding florals? 👀

Well, not literally, as there are no rules, but heres a few things I do differently as solely a wedding florist. 🫶🏼🙌🏼

A very firm favourite for a reason, bud vases are not to be overlooked for your wedding.

Bud vases are a very simple, yet effortlessly beautiful design that can completely transform your aesthetic.

I design my buds to be intentionally elegant using delicate stems that can freely move. They look stunning in clusters for round tables, or in rows for long tables and they can be combined with candles or stand on their own. 🫶🏼

Are you looking for timeless, natural floral designs? Florals that feel graceful yet untamed, wild yet intentional, organic yet deeply elegan to wow your guests and leave a lasting impression?

My designs aren’t just beautiful; they are alive, breathing new life into wedding spaces with movement, depth, and the wild beauty of nature. If you want stiff, symmetrical perfection, look elsewhere. If you want florals that leave guests in awe, welcome, you’ve found your florist.

Imagine the first shot of you as a newly
married couple, standing under floral arch that becomes the focal point of your wedding.

If this sounds like your vison for your wedding day, then you’re my perfect client, and I can’t wait to hear from you! Send me a DM & let’s chat about how we can create
something truly unforgettable for your big day.

Let me tell you, when I’m sent a Pinterest board to look at, it’s so common to see lots of variations of ideas!
I love using Pintrest for Inspiration, however, lets be honest, it can leave your head spiring which can feel overwhelming and make it harder to decide what wedding flowers you would like. So how can I help?
I spend time getting to know you, and your style, from our first consultation to the finalisation meeting. That way I can assist with providing my expert guidance of what flowers will enhance a space and complement your venue, rather than following any latest trends which may not suit your wedding aestetic. Let me create something individual to you, not just a Pinterest board.

If you’re feeling stuck between Pinterest boards and reality, let’s chat. Drop me a DM and lets discuss your ideas! 🫶🏼🫶🏼

How do you pick your florist over another? 🫠

Although they are both amazing for inspiration, scrolling Instagram & Pinterest whilst planning your wedding can be an an absolute minefield😵‍💫

Scroll to see my 5 top tips. 🫶🏼🫶🏼

I cant believe that this setup at @mordenhallweddings was back in 2019, nearly 6 years ago!
I still love this arrangement and love the styling with the candles.

Flowers and candles are the perfect duo for creating a magical, intimate ambiance at your wedding. Here’s how to pair them for a truly unforgettable setting:
1. Consider Color Harmony: Choose flowers and candle shades that complement each other.
2. Vary Heights for Visual Interest: Mix tall floral arrangements with low candle placements to add depth and dimension to your table. This balance creates a dynamic, layered effect that draws the eye in.
3. Use Candles as Accents: Whether it’s a cluster of tea lights or a grand taper candle in elegant holders, candles are a beautiful accent to your flowers. The flickering light will highlight the intricate details of your floral designs.
4. Go for Fragrance Pairing: If your flowers have a strong fragrance, opt for unscented candles to avoid overwhelming the senses. If you want a subtle scent, consider using floral-scented candles that enhance the overall vibe without clashing.

Together, flowers and candles set the tone for your reception, blending elegance, romance, and warmth.

Are you looking for flower arrangements that elevate your wedding breakfast?

A stunning wedding setting begins with florals that reflect the overall wedding aesthetic. From grand centerpieces to
delicate bud vases, there are so many options available, to suit all venues and you as a couple. Flowers can transform your reception into a true luxury experience for you and your guests.
I absolutely loved this safari inspired reception at @portlympneweddings that incorporated floral floor meadows and bud vases for the sweetheart table and footed bowls for the guest tables, along with all the draping foliage.

I’m sorry to say this, but I won’t collaborate with another floral provider at your wedding.

My Terms and Conditions require full florist exclusivity at your wedding. Why?

I assure you that I’m always about collaboration and teamwork, not competition. However, when suppliers are credited on the final design, it may become challenging to accurately credit all the businesses that contributed to the flowers. (Think hired artificial flower backdrops, alongside fresh table centrepieces, etc.) Mixing fresh and artificial flowers can create an inconsistent visual effect. I’ve spent a long time perfecting my skills, so I don’t want to be named for a service I didn’t provide, or have a supplier have credit for my work.

When you choose one florist to handle all your flowers, you ensure a consistent style, colour palette, and quality throughout your entire wedding. A cohesive floral design elevates the overall aesthetic, from the bouquets to the ceremony decor. A professional florist ensures that your flowers are handled with care, arranged beautifully, and arrive on time, looking flawless for your unique day.

DM me the word ‘Flowers’ to start a conversation about your wedding.

Why you shouldn’t skip down to the total price on your bespoke floral quote.

If you are speaking to multiple wedding suppliers, do you know what you’re comparing?
When it comes to your wedding flowers, don’t just focus on price – focus on value.
A florist’s expertise, quality of blooms, and design skills can make all the difference in bringing your wedding vision to life. Here’s why choosing the right florist goes beyond comparing prices:

1. Quality Matters: I only source and use the freshest, premium flowers, that not only last longer but also look more vibrant and luxurious.

2. Expert Design: As an experienced florist, I know how to tailor designs to fit your style, whether you want a romantic, classic, or modern vibe. It’s not just about flowers, it’s about creating a cohesive look for your entire wedding.

3. Personalization: I will take the time to understand your vision and provide bespoke arrangements that reflect your personality and wedding theme.

4. Stress-Free Planning: I will handle every detail from sourcing to delivery, ensuring your flowers arrive on time and look flawless on your big day – no surprises!

Trust your florist, right florist ensures your wedding flowers are one less thing to worry about.

Meet Hannah & Vincent, a couple with a vision.
Back in 2021, Hannah & Vincent threw the ultimate wedding reception at Hannahs family home.
The available space was incredible, Hannah wanted to use the tennis court for the wedding breakfast, so I suggested we use the hedge as the top table backdrop.

With a ridiculous amount of flowers and foliage added in, my team transformed the hedge into a beautiful 110foot backdrop!

Still absolutely love this transformation🙌🏼

Celebrating all the B’maids on this Galentines day 🫶🏼🩷🥰

That first look, as you see your ceremony flowers repurposed into a new display.

Aisle floor arrangements to create a meadow around the champagne tower and a table arrangement and buds to decorate.

Statement pieces that can be moved and repurposed are your biggest floral win 🫶🏼

Looking to make a statement with your wedding florals?

Top tip: Don’t spread your budget too thin on low impact smaller arrangements. Go for one larger piece that serves as a ceremony backdrop, that can double up as a photo opportunity for your guests.

Quality over quantity always 🫶🏼

Grab a drink & lets celebrate 🫶🏼

Meadows are made to be moved, get yourself a florist that repurposes your flowers throughout your wedding. These floor meadows started along the aisle & were then used to style the prettiest champagne tower station. 🥂

That first look at your meadows🫶🏼

Natural, free flowing garden inspired meadows. These beauties are standing a firm favourite going into 2025. My most popular design for a reason. They are versatile & resilient, they can be moved & repurposed throughout your day & they transform & wow every space.

Add meadows to your floral invoice & thank me later 💁🏻‍♀️😂

You cant beat the dreamy, romantic atmosphere that is created by combining fresh flowers with the soft glow of candles.

Candles add a warm, intimate touch to any setting, while flowers bring natural elegance, scent and colour.😍

I can supply candles, holders & provide setup as part of my on the day service.

If you would like to book a consultation then please complete the enquiry form on my website, the link is in the bio.

Such a beautiful & delicate bouquet for the gorgeous Aimée. 🫶🏼

My flower style is meadow vibes. So if you’re looking for undone & unstructured with varying height & texture, i’m your girl 🙋🏻‍♀️

Dan started the pocket flower trend for me, 2 summers ago, & now they are so popular for grooms!
They are quite a bit bigger than the traditional buttonhole, with all the stems hidden inside of the suit pocket.

Happy Friday, and first day of November 🍂

How gorgeous is this Autumnal palette for @shiannemercerphotography last year at @villiersbarnvenue.

Beautiful bouquets belong in water, so after your photos, make sure they go back in a vase & become extra decor for the bar or gift table 🫶🏼

My bouquets are delivered in a vase that you can keep & use throughout your day.

Oh guys it’s been a while since I last posted. I feel like I blinked & September has been & gone 🤣
