Caged arrangement

12 November 2012

This stunning arrangement is made by creating a  cage of salix, cornus and equisetum into a pyramid form. Inside the cage are entwined calla lilies, tulips and seasonal nerines.

The design would be perfect for an event/wedding wanting something a little bit different and unusual.

Caging can be made in many forms, shapes and sizes, decorative or plain.

Inspiration for Christmas brides

I just love these combination of flowers and colours. Although the dahlias aren't available at Christmas time the 'Luxor' roses combined with skimmia, spray roses and interesting foliage give warmth to a cold winters day.

Hanging decoration

This is a hanging arrangement that I have recently created. I used a hot glue to create little vases which I then decorated in tiny beads and glitter. The finishing touch was to add roses and spanish moss. The whole effect is perfect for a Christmas theme and could also be hung from a Christmas tree.

November 2012 Horsted Place Hotel

A bright crisp autumn day at Horsted Place Hotel near Uckfield is the setting. The chosen flowers complimented the occasion beautifully, providing warmth and rich tones.
The orange celosia was combined with dark red germini and cherry brandy roses.

Recent work

I have recently started studying at Plumpton Agricultural college taking my level 4 Higher Diploma in Floristry. It is an advanced floristry course specialising in designer techniques. The first week I made this shower bouquet made from a hand-made wire mesh which I then threaded and laced delicate ribbons, threads and grasses onto the bouquet. I then finished the design with adding small intricate flowers such as phalenopsis, ornithogolum, hydrangea heads and spray roses. 

22nd September 2012, funeral work

Always a sad occasion however a delight to be asked to create a beautiful double ended spray suitable for a gentleman.

Combining rich colours of red, purple and blue, using lush 'Grand Prix' roses, blue delphinium and purple lisianthus. A little freesia and September flower finished the spray.

Wedding Fair

Rosehip Floral Art exhibited at the Wakehurst Place wedding fair on the Thursday 6th September and then on the following Sunday at Alexander House Hotel, nr Turners Hill.

There were two colour schemes chosen, vibrant oranges and pinks with seasonal flowers such as dahlias, hanging amaranths, lisianthus and stunning 'Miss Piggy' roses.

The other was a soft, vintage look with chosen 'Quicksand' roses combined with soft creams for a delicate bridal bouquet.
