  • Four Florists you need to know about

    Four Florists you need to know about

    Happy New Year!

    I want to showcase four florists who’s work makes my heart skip a beat. I thought what could be a better way to dive back into the new year than celebrating, floristry that is evocative, beautiful, exciting and sometimes suprising.

    Brittany Asch behind ‘Brrch’ creates fantastical work, that is a wonderful juxtaposition of colourful retro nostalgia with edge of surreal oddness, creating work that feels very modern, fashion forward and her arrangements really feel like works of contemporary art.

    Ruby Barber behind ‘Mary Lennox’ creates emotional, strong flawless installations that set the mood for any image. Allowing one or a few flora or fawna to take centre stage, creates a bold unapologetic celebration of the plant life itself.

    Hattie Fox behind ‘That flower shop’ creates works that feels like its been created with oil paints. Colours of Turner and Constable, this Hackney based florists work, feel like it belongs in a Dickension living room. However, its unepexpected mix of flora, scale and postioning, defiantly makes her work feel modern and trend led.

    Anna and Ellie behind ‘The flower appreciation society’ work is a celebration of floral whimsy. Both delicate and bold at the same time, their work feels like stepping into a Manor house’s cutting garden. However their quirky mix of  foliage, flora and eccentricity creates something fresh and exciting.

     

  • Why You Need to Buy a Gold Planter Now

    Why You Need to Buy a Gold Planter Now

    I’ve always loved a gold accessory.

    Many many years ago, I found myself suddenly lusting over gold bins in the Harrods Accessories floor. Thinking I should really know better, I hid my desire, never mentioning this heart pounding want in serious magazine trend meetings.

    But In the wise words of Spandau Ballet “Gold, always believe in your soul”. I should of outed myself sooner, as it was apparent I wasn’t the only one with this love affair. Thanks to Jonathan Adler, Tom Dixon and many others I realised I was onto a good thing.

    Gold still can verge on the edge of “ good taste”, too much can be blinding, the wrong tone can seem cheap and tacky.

    However, this is why I love the trend for Gold planters; it elevates a simple cool and understated like a house plant, to an all singing all blinging attention grabbing accesory, while still maintaining its taste factor.

    1. create a home for a plant in an unexpected place
    2. a chic pot for a large plant
    3. small and simple
    4. go full out retro
    5. try the trend for only £6
    6. a future design classic
    7. easy on the eye
    8. one of my favourites
