I specialise in natural flowing floral designs using only the freshest, good quality varieties. Making imaginative use of natural and sometimes wild materials is my signature style. I give a free consultation so that customers can get a feel for my designs and the way that I can interpret their brief.

We could not have chosen a better florist than Melanie for our wedding 7th March 2025. She was absolutely incredible from start to finish.
From the very first consultation, she was so dedicated, working with me for the last year to bring our vision to life. I had no idea where to start when it came to flowers and foliage, but Melanie’s knowledge and expertise made the whole process so easy. She completely understood the organic, flowing, earthy look I was striving for, combining classic and modern elements with stunning foliage.
Even when I changed the initial design after our first consultation, Melanie was so accommodating. She took the time to have multiple calls with me, always ensuring we were on the same page and consulting me on even the smallest details, like which ribbon to use and how to set up a tricky hanging wheel at our venue. She went above and beyond, not only dedicating the morning before the wedding to set up but also sourcing freeze-dried petals at the best possible price since our venue only allowed petal confetti.
When she arrived with the bouquets, I was genuinely emotional because they were even more beautiful than I had imagined. Every single arrangement was breathtaking, and you could truly see her passion in every detail. Melanie is unbelievably talented, professional, and such a joy to work with. I cannot recommend her enough. 10/10 perfection!

Working with Melanie was fantastic. She had a very personal approach and was incredibly good with some of my more fussy/specific demands. If you have something very particular in mind for your wedding flowers, then Melanie is definitely the person I'd recommend. My bouquet inspired by the flora of the Cheviot Hills was everything I could have hoped for and more. It both looked and smelled incredible. The venue decorations were also excellent and many guests remarked on how beautiful the flowers were. Excellent if you really want a personal touch to your flowers. More...

Besides having the most beautiful flowers on the day, the whole experience was stress free from start to finish. Melanie is extremely talented in what she does and I highly recommend. More...
What do you love most about your job?
From initial briefing, developing a theme and helping with flower choices to the final creative production you become very involved with your clients and the air of excitement as momentum builds. With weddings, I especially love personally delivering the bridal party flowers on the morning of the wedding.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Although I had worked for a big corporation, I have always been keen to grow and create something special with flowers. The first weddings I did were for relatives and friends who all gave me the encouragement and confidence to start my business. It really seemed the natural thing to do.
Why should our clients choose you?
I do believe it is important to fully appreciate exactly what my customers want and I'm happy to spend time understanding and working with clients to this end both from a creative and a budget point of view. Building a good rapport and always being available to discuss different aspects and choices is the secret to a great outcome.
