Flower and Press

The small joys of getting to make a flower crown for a pup!

I have often thought that florists share a particular way of looking at the world. We notice small things; the bend of a stem and the subtle shifts in colour as one season moves into the next. Perhaps that's what draws us to flowers in the first place; an attentiveness to nature, and the satisfaction of making something by hand. It's hard work; late nights, very early mornings and plenty of heavy lifting. But it's also surprisingly quiet when we spend hours in the studio with the flowers, just making.

We asked our friends at the farm to pick us what was growing in abundance and this is what they gave us. Styled gently into white bowls and stem vases.

Love and light for N&C's wedding. Playing with yellows and creams in April: sweet peas, orlaya, tulips, spirea, garden roses, larkspur, allium and rancunculi. The detailing of the painted ceilings at the church was beautiful. For the reception; the light-flooded Nash Conservatory and the Orangery at Kew Gardens played an elegant host as the light journeyed through from early afternoon through to dusk.

Somewhere between a garden party and a Mary-Poppins-style daydream with British seasonal flowers everywhere. The brief was to bring colour into an entirely monochromatic backdrop, giving softness to the otherwise clean lines and contrasts and adding a whimsy that mirrored the surrounding gardens at Kensington Palace. Feature moments appeared throughout the guest journey; a watering can, mannequin, a hot air balloon and an oversized violin made entirely of moss were some of these. We wanted it to feel fun but elegant, playful yet grown up.

It was a joy to work alongside a team of suppliers we have long admired. Also our wonderful team of project managers, designers, florist and crew, our incredible metal work artist Julian Carter Studio and our flower farmers kimberly fleming ~ the marlston farmgirl Danielle L I S A C O M F O R T and Howbury Farm Flowers - thank you all.

A dinner held in the Nash Conservatory at Kew Gardens for Sotheby's in celebration of the Henry Moore exhibition: Monumental Nature.

We felt at home with this brief and it was a joy to bring it to life.

We used grasses, cotinus, scabiosa, cosmos, ammi, ornit and butterfly ranunculus - wildly but intentionally brought together into a continuous table runner.

Thank you Danielle for your ever lovely stems.
