To wrap or not to wrap….

March 31, 2026
| No Comments
| Categories: alternative crafts, Creativity, flower school, wrapping flowers

I’ve always loved learning new ways of wrapping bouquets whether they are small or large. There are over 10 different videos on this topic on our Youtube channel and one thought I was curious about was have you considered how someone would receive a bouquet if it wasn’t gift-wrapped?

An easy Autumn craft idea

September 23, 2025

| Categories: alternative crafts, Creativity, dried flowers

I just wanted to share this easy Autumn craft idea, as the weather is turning and there is a chill in the air then thoughts turn to being inside and cosy. I’ve started making soups and roasting vegetables and definitely getting more blankets out for the sofa. My neighbour introduced me to this cute idea and I now have the perfect hanging place for them in my living room.

Can flowers help us with self-care? I always considered myself lucky to be able to run a business and do a job that I love and during this month of January I guess there is a lot more talk about resolutions, making sure we taking care of our mental health and trying to improve how…

Diy summer door wreath, wiltshire

As we finally seem to be hitting our stride with summer sun, I needed a new door wreath for our front door so thought this would be a good time to talk through how you can make a simple wreath for your door too. As always I wanted to make a sustainable wreath that didn’t…

Wrapping a bouquet, wiltshire florist

I’ve always had an interest in how bouquets of flowers are wrapped, it was one of the first things I learnt in my first flower shop job and I think the algorithm has learnt of my interest too! 🙂 One thing I lack at the moment is access to prettier paper for this exercise but…
