THE NEW STUDIO ✨⁠
-⁠
It's taken me a while to get everything how I wanted it and to take some photos to show you all! So this week is chatting all things studio space.⁠
-⁠
It's a beautiful self contained unit in the Paintworks complex, in Bristol. We've got a great bar, a coffee shop AND a wedding venue as neighbours and it's on the site of an old paint factory that's been turned into modern work and residential space.⁠
-⁠
My lovely future sister-in-law knew about this place and suggested it to me. I had a look and saw the spaces looked PERFECT but were all quite a bit above budget. The space I initially enquired about had already gone but the agent suggested that I might like number 5.18 which was available. ⁠
-⁠
I booked to see it just a few days after moving to Bristol and absolutely fell in love with it. I went to see a couple of other places - a space in a small business park and a railway arch unit too but I couldn't stop thinking about this one. It had such a great vibe, sunlight, water and didn't need much work for me to be able to get started. I knew it was meant for Femme Petale. I put in an offer of what I could just about afford (still over budget but sometimes you just have to go for it!) and they accepted.⁠
-⁠
As we've been slowly moving from London (we're still not quite in our new home yet but getting there!) it's been an enormous help to have this space. It gave us a base to start looking for houses from and a place we can both comfortably work in when the rest of our lives have been so up and down. ⁠
-⁠
I'm so excited to meet some amazing future couples here, to show them around and to create some EPIC flowers. 🥰⁠

OH HEYYY 👋🏼⁠
-⁠
I realised my grid had been face-free for some time! This is a snap from a wedding setup last year as I was about to walk these bouquets and buttonholes over to the hotel the couple were getting ready at, in Central London. ⁠
-⁠
IKEA bags were how I used to take my flowers to my corporate job, on the train. It wasn't the most practical thing and the poor things often got bashed about through the day as my floristry class was in the evenings after work, a train and a tube ride away! They're still very useful though and a staple part of the kit, even if the kit has developed a little since those 'simple' days! ⁠
-⁠
I haven't really acknowledged in a post that I've moved location! I'm now based in an awesome studio in the Paintworks complex in Bristol. We're inches away from owning a gorgeous house and 'The Plan' we had to relocate from London is almost complete, despite the many hiccups we've had along the way. ⁠
-⁠
So there will be many more smiley set-up days and happy wedding flowers, just a little further west than they used to be! ⁠

CANDY FLOSS CLOUDS 🍭⁠
-⁠
It was a dream to create these amazing pink clouds of joyous gyp for Steph & James. ⁠
-⁠
When we first chatted, Steph was unsure whether to go for the more modern style of flowers that she had been drawn to or lean into the traditional style of the venue. We came up with this idea to use a more modern style of flowers but using this very traditional part of the venue, marrying the two worlds. ⁠
-⁠
I'm delighted with how it turned out and it really shows that traditional venues really can work with a more abstract/modern colour palette and style!⁠

NO THOSE AREN'T MY HANDS...
-
I had a brilliant idea the other day. I was thinking about Valentines Day (we're always thinking ahead to the next big flower day!) and it always leaves me a bit uninspired. Red roses aren't particularly seasonal in February and the supermarkets sell flowers at a loss to themselves, in the hope that you'll pick up some chocolates or a bottle of wine whilst you're in there.... how can I compete with that?
-
My idea is to hold a workshop where folks can come in, and learn how to make a gorgeous bouquet of fresh, long lasting flowers that they can give to their favourite person! How great would that be?! People love something homemade, knowing the effort you put in to make something yourself (under the guidance of a florist of course...) will mean so much more than a bunch picked up on the way home. I'm planning to take little polaroid shot of each person making it to go along the bouquet as a keepsake, just so they can be absolutely sure it was made by your hands.
-
So that's what I'm offering this year and I'm so excited for it. Workshops are available on my website & @say.yuup during lunch hours and after work on 13th & 14th February, so get booking! Slots are limited.

I've had this piece of wood for about 2 years and I've finally got it up and doing what it's supposed to!

This is a super easy way of storing tools so they're to hand and out of the way, and it only took 10 mins 👍🏻
