The Face Behind the Flowers

Hey, I’m Gemma, founder and lead florist at Femme Petale.  Before I get to know you, your desires and what floral magic you’d like me to weave, let me tell you something about my journey, how I fell into floristry and what makes me tick.

After years working in the corporate world, I was yearning for a creative outlet.  My passion for all things creative had slowly got lost in the grey repetition of daily life and there wasn’t time for the creative projects I craved.  Deciding to take control, I enrolled in a floristry course, and something clicked into place. Flowers slowly took over my life and my home, and it very quickly became apparent that working as a florist was the calling for me.

I’m based in Bristol, a city that’s new to me as I recently moved from London, where I spent the last 10 years. I love the vibrancy of my new city, it’s full of Art and joy and I love to be by the water.  Most days, you’ll find me in my gorgeous studio in Paintworks, surrounded by fragrant flowers and luscious greenery and my sleepy dachshund, Jasper curled up at my feet while I work.
