A reflection of the season and challenging the perceptions of Spring floral designs. By working with what could be considered a more autumnal palette of burnt tones, mustard and terracotta.

There’s a decisiveness and consideration in the placing of structural branches/ blossom and dried elements. The flowers taking an almost understudy role to the overall movement of the installation. I consider the juxtaposition with the model and knowing how she will move in that space is all key.

Judging, balancing, evaluating and framing, there is a lot goes into the creative thought process, but on an editorial feature there is the beauty of artistic freedom, do as you please.

When building the bouquet, I did feel the bold orange colour was a little too harsh and focussed predominantly on the Toffee Roses and spring favourites ranunculus, helebores and tulips. Foraged terracotta coloured silver birch bark formed the central runner for the tablescape dotted through with lychees and hand dipped candles.

Such a wonderful creative collaboration, all working with the same common goal, to bring you beauty and hopefully inspire you.
