Career Highlight Working With Willow Crossley at Chelsea In Bloom

What a September we have had. My feet have barely touched the ground!

Wedding flowers have kept us very busy this month, and we have been lucky enough to visit some of the most beautiful venues in Warwickshire. I am, and always will be truly honoured to be part of a couples Wedding Day. 

 September also saw a Career Highlight for me…

I had the opportunity to work alongside Willow Crossley and Angus Buchanan at Chelsea in Bloom 2021.

Willow is an inspirational florist, stylist and Author, so to have the chance to work alongside her in Chelsea was a career highlight.

I was part of a team of florists, working through the night to create the huge installations at the Ralph Lauren flagship store.

Every tired moment was worth it to find out that the installation won a Chelsea In Bloom Gold Award. 

I have been a visitor at the Chelsea Flower Show for years, but to be part of a working team for Chelsea In Bloom was up there with Bucket List moments. 

Large scale floral installations are are current trend for events and weddings, and really make a WOW factor for visitors and guests alike. The Lily Loves team have focused on new techniques and floral mechanics over the last year, so to put it all into practice was very exciting.

Needless to say, our experience at Chelsea In Bloom will go on to inspire our work in the future. We cannot wait to transfer our skills to our future bookings.
