CHESHIRE

A BIT ABOUT ME

I can’t live without cups of tea and walks in the countryside. I live in Cheshire and love travelling for design inspiration and to share my love of all things floral.

When I’m not working you can find me at home in Bollington with my husband Tom. I’m likely to be in the garden or curled up with our apricot coloured pooch, Peggy, reading a book and planning our next adventure.

Favourite flowers to work with… The best of what's in season

I started my flower studio Hope & Flora in 2020 following a career in marketing in the creative industries (arts, design, architecture). For me, flowers encapsulate our natural world in all its wonder, awe and beauty.

I love working with locally-grown and British flowers. Highlights to date include: creating the wedding flowers for two intimate events; creating a luxurious feature wall of pampas grass for a reception area; collaborating with an award-winning cafe; assisting with a Smokebush Floral wedding, and freelancing for The Potting Shed in Alderley Edge and Diddibox Flowers in Sale.

I often travel for work throughout Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Derbyshire and Staffordshire.
