My love of flowers started at a young age with being involved with Young Farmers Floral Art Competitions in which I progressed in numerous years from County to National level to compete against Young Farmers from across the Country. I went on to train at De Montfort University, Riseholme, Lincoln and gained a National Diploma in Floristry and then a Higher National Diploma in Floristry Management & Interior Styling.

During various work experiences, I worked in Roundhay, Leeds and also in West Hampstead, London as the tutors liked to send students as far and wide as possible. After finishing my studies, I worked in London for a while. But missing the green fields of Leicestershire I came back to my home county and bought a flower shop which I owned for 6 years in the picturesque town of Uppingham, Rutland. Now I work from a workshop near Market Harborough concentrating more on the Wedding, Party and Sympathy side of floristry.

Although having a shop was great and gave an immediate shop window for my work, being freelance gives me more time at each event and allows me to concentrate in the job in hand. I also only take on what I can manage in a weekend, and so will rarely take more than one event on one day. There are a number of beautiful venues across Leicestershire that I have decorated, please check out the wedding pages of my website for some examples.
