Botanical Design
My work is rooted in a love of nature and the changing seasons. Inspired by twirling vines, grasses and sculptural seedheads, I create dried botanicals designed to last beyond a fleeting moment.
Using British-grown flowers sourced through trusted growers and supporting small scale flower farmers, each design is made in small numbers using what is growing at that time.
Based in the Kent countyside, close to ancient woodlands and coastlines, I gather much of my inperation from the landscape around me.
Wedding and installation bookings for 2026/2027 are now open.
Sustainability
British Grown
My plant materials are grown here in the UK, supporting 'grown not flown'. I avoid using imported flowers because there is enough beauty right on our doorstep. I grow a small variety in my garden but mostly my materials come from local flower farmers and foraging the hedgerows and woodlands I walk. Any extra flowers I need come from a sustainable UK wholesaler.
Drying Process
I dry my materials using a slow and natural process of hanging them upside down with string in a moisture free room out of direct sunlight. No dyes or preservatives are used. I love watching the natural change, crinkling petals, curling leaves and fading colours.
Mechanics in Design
Wreath bases are made from natural materials including vines, willow or stems of plants. Large designs can use a base of chicken wire that can be reused.
Learn - Grow. Dry. Create.

Weddings
Dried flowers evoke an ethereal romantic atmosphere. Flower meadows creating walkways, dreamy botanical clouds above tables and bouquets that will last far beyond your perfect day.
Each design is completely unique to you. I create botanical art that is sculpted with natural beauty.
