A PINCH ME MOMENT 🙌🏻⁠ -⁠ It was amazing

A PINCH ME MOMENT 🙌🏻⁠
-⁠
It was amazing to be involved in a shoot with Galia Lahav dresses earlier this year. Working in the industry, I see a lot of wedding dresses, many of them really beautiful. The @galialahav dresses were just incredible. The detail, design and the sheer effort that goes into making these gorgeous dresses really shows.⁠
-⁠
I chose a modern style, flower only bouquet featuring roses, bleached ruscus and anemones to keep things stylish and unique, not too traditional. ⁠

THE PERFECT BRIDAL BOUQUET 👌🏼⁠ -⁠ Pullin

THE PERFECT BRIDAL BOUQUET 👌🏼⁠
-⁠
Pulling together a brides bouquet really feels like such an honour. Early in the morning, with a strong cup of tea I head to the studio. I prefer making them on the day of the wedding so the flowers have had time and space to open up and have a big drink. ⁠
-⁠
I make all bouquets in my full length mirror so I can see how they will look when carried, from every angle. I use a wire cage to support them, so the delicate blooms in the middle don't get squashed by the heavier flowers - they all get room to breathe.⁠
-⁠
They don't always come together easily. Sometimes I have to make and remake 2 or 3 times but I'm always pleased when I do as I start to see it come together. ⁠
-⁠
Thanks so much to Farah & Mohammed for sharing their gorgeous wedding over on the @lovemydress blog.⁠ You can see the rest of the photos and the full feature using the link in my bio -->⁠

SWIPE FOR BEFORE& MORE 💫⁠
-⁠
So this is where the magic happens! I moved into @wimbledonartstudios originally in August, on the second floor where it was either roasting hot or FREEZING cold. ⁠
-⁠
I badgered the office on a weekly basis trying to get a ground floor studio to save my back heaving buckets of flowers and plants up the stairs. Finally one came free and when I went to look round (second pic) it wasn't particularly inspiring. Hideous brown carpet tiles, beige and black walls and a almost zero daylight but if there's one thing I do have, it's vision 👀. ⁠
-⁠
I've not solved the daylight issue but the grow lights are working brilliantly for House Plant Corner. I've got a desk setup in the corner, shelves for all my branded bit and packing items. A slightly disorganised under table where I hoard all the packaging I keep to reuse w with plant orders but overall, I'm delighted with it. The perfect space to get cracking with a VERY full wedding season!⁠

WORKING THOSE ANGLES 💁🏻‍♀️⁠ -⁠ One

WORKING THOSE ANGLES 💁🏻‍♀️⁠
-⁠
One of the many things I love about floristry as an art is how different our designs look from different angles. These table florals are actually the same ones I posted on Monday (have a peek if you missed it! 👀) but from above.⁠
-⁠
As a Florist, it's my job to make sure all designs look perfect from every angle. When making the designs in my studio, I make them on a turntable so I can easily see them from the sides and back. At a venue, myself and the team squat behind seats all around the reception to check each guest has the perfect view 👌🏻⁠
-⁠
After that, we disspapear for a few hours of rest and food, smiling to ourselves as we leave and hear guests commenting 'I've never seen wedding flowers like this, they look amazing!' 🥰⁠

PSA: NOW FULLY BOOKED FOR JULY & AUGUST 2021 🙌🏻⁠
-⁠
I really didn't think I'd be saying this in my first Summer doing this full time but postponements have actually meant that I got fully booked pretty early. ⁠
-⁠
I'm now beavering away behind the scenes to get things ready for wedding season after heartbreakingly packing it all away last March, not knowing for how long. ⁠
-⁠
Iris & Co has changed a lot since then, pivoting left right and centre to make sure the bills are paid and I was able to stay open. Most of my days now are spent getting houseplant stock, adding them to the website, packing orders, writing care cards etc and the endless admin that comes with an eCommerce store. Come wedding season, that's all going to have to change as the vast majority of my time I'll be flowering in the studio, up ladders and in gorgeous venues. ⁠
-⁠
I've been automating as much as humanly possible so that the shop stays running in the background, without me having to do too much effort. So far, I've automated my Google & Facebook/Insta catalogues (I literally used to manually add each product to both websites, then make changes, manually 🙄) now the websites talk to each other and everything magically appears! Labels now (almost) print themselves and I've got a decent stock of house plants, dried flowers and pots that should keep me going. I can't automate packing the boxes, which would be the dream but it does mean I can still keep running the shop, which I do enjoy whilst building beautiful weddings at the same time. ⁠
