Florence & Wild

Florence & Wild I love florals that stand out, up, twist and twirl with texture, natural beauty and fragrance.

My style is quirky with a touch of Yorkshire-grown beauty, always unique, using earth friendly options

Take a walk on the wild side with me! I am Castleford florist offering foam free floral arrangements using British flowers when available. Trained with Tallulah Rose Flower School and keen to promote sustainable floral techniques.

Unapologetically me 🌿

Paula the florist, the business woman, the student, the account manager, the supervisor, the redundant one, the unfairly dismissed one, the underdog, the one in charge, the cleaner, the pleb, the clever one, the non-mathematic one, the sporty one, the arty one, the one with the blue/pink/green/purple hair, the wife, the divorcee, the widow, the fiancée, the ex, the Mum, the daughter, the sister, the in-law, the out-law, the auntie, the cousin, the friend, the colleague, the carer, the neighbour, the crazy one, the sensible one, the outdoorsy one, the gardening one, the tea drinking, wine drinking and loads more to list …… somehow the wise one in the background watching and learning yet always the feral one at the front - a force to be reckoned with.

Confused? I’m not.

I joke about my gorgeous granddaughter being feral, I adore that about her, she’s got all the best bits of her Mum & Dad and I see a lot of me in her and especially lots of her late Grandad Paul. We’re all here to be who we’re supposed to be, and I will always be everything I was and everything I am but never the one in a photo sitting perfectly - I could analyse every person in this photo, I think it must have been my brothers birthday, it’s sunny so definitely not mine 🎄🎅🤦‍♀️, I’ve got my favourite party dress on which was a hand me down (probably yours Elaine Hunt )🤣. I loved that dress, full of big bold 70s flowers. Take a closer look, I’m the only one behind the shadow. Thank you Kirsty Gallagher for today’s post and inspiration for the forthcoming full moon definitely looking forward to bringing out more of the feral in me 🌕🌑🙌🏻🌿

PS - to anyone who recognises themselves in the photo, forever grateful of being brought up a street absolutely full of kids, great times.

Autumnal vibe 🍂

Today marks the point of equality, light and dark sharing the exact same space. Time to slow down, reflect and enjoy the beauty of Autumn.

I love the richness of typical Autumn palettes, lots of dark flowers combined with lush greens, browns and muted orange. This bouquet for Jules had an autumn feel, with equal light and dark flowers - her stunning gown dictated a muted delicate palette with added depth with chocolate cosmos - my absolute favourite. A gorgeous hand dyed velvet ribbon added richness.

Elegant Urn Workshop - done 🌿

When the student becomes Master.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Ironbridge Gorge Flower School with my beautiful friend Lisa ‘Nettie’ from the day we first ‘met’ on a zoom meeting during those crazy times at Tallulah Rose Flower School - I just knew we’d be friends for life. Two straight talking women always offering help and advice and enjoying a cheeky joke along the way. We’ve both taken very different paths on our flowery journey and have equally had highs and lows along the way and this amazing woman is definitely on a high. It’s been so lovely after a hectic time to go back to basics and supporting my lovely mate too.

Urns are so popular at the moment, this shape is my go to shape, my eye is always drawn to height at the left and sweeping down to the right, I wanted to incorporate more greenery than I have been doing all summer and I felt like I was home - we all have our individual style and she still looks beautiful after travelling with me back up to Yorkshire 🌿

Autumn low bowl 🍂🌿

Time for a little break, I’ve got a few days doing things I love planned, a gorgeous girlie weekend, celebrating with family and a mini break in our favourite place in Scotland. All the things I feel I’ve neglected during these incredibly busy few months.

Time to relax and reset 🌿

Autumn 🍂 my love,

shows me how violently soft we can fall

Stay a while 🌿

Love finding a little corner at a venue to place the bouquets and buttonholes, how lovely was this windowsill?

Resting for a while before their big day.

Smart wedding florals 🌿

I’m not going to lie, when I realised the sizes of these mantles, I seriously had to use the teeny element of brain mathematics that I absorbed many moons ago converting to feet and inches and my jaw dropped.

With a foot difference in height and width and very different depths/styles I realised I could combine the two and create two different looks to match the budget of one arrangement.

My bench is just about 8ft long so I could visualise how this was going to look. I will say however, that my spatial awareness can sometimes let me down (I ran out of space doing pre wedding jenga in my van for a previous wedding 🤦‍♀️), so belt and braces I headed north and when I arrived at the gorgeous venue Exclusive Northumberland Wedding Venue💍 I gave myself a little pat on the back for realising my cleverness. The plan worked.

Gorgeous or what?
