Being a second generation florist, flowers have always been a big part of my life with my Parents owning florist shops for as long as I can remember. In 2006 I established Floristic Designs to concentrate solely on my love and passion - weddings and special events! The following year we closed the doors on our last family shop. Since then I have had the pleasure of providing individually designed flowers for lots of lovely couples, individuals and corporate groups throughout Scotland.
As a freelance florists based from my studio at the Port of Menteith, Nr Stirling, I am free of the usual ties and demands of a retail shop so can focus purely on your wedding or event and can travel throughout Scotland to wherever you may need me. I take bookings up to 18 months in advance and do not double-book this allows for a full onsite set up of all your floral requirements from the smallest napkin detail to your dream bouquet and large scale floral installations at the venue, so early booking is highly advisable.
Consultations…
Whatever your ideas or requirements I would love the opportunity to talk flowers and ideas with you. Please drop me a wee email, call or Facebook message to arrange a free no obligation consultation at your home, venue or somewhere in the middle! If you are not based close by, don't worry - I have worked with many couples from all around the world, we can chat via email or phone.
My Brides often ask for an idea of pricing at their initial consultation, as each wedding is bespoke and different from the next so is the pricing. Prices depend completely on the season, your individual flower choices and varieties, and your chosen size and style. It can be useful to have a budget in mind as I can then help guide you with flowers that will fit well. As a general guide I would suggest you allow between 10 - 20% of your total budget for the floral decor.
Once availability for your date is confirmed we can meet up and talk flowers. I am fairly flexible with meeting times but during peak wedding season my priority lies with my pre-booked weddings and as such I can’t always accommodate Friday, Saturday and Sunday consultations so having a few dates in mind will always be beneficial.
This is why I do what I do …
“I just wanted to say thank you so much for the beautiful flowers at our wedding. My bouquet was absolutely breath-taking and I loved all of the arrangements. You had such a difficult job getting them to us and I really appreciate everything you did”
“Just wanted to say thank you for the beautiful flowers you did for the wedding, they were honestly everything I imagined and more. My bouquet especially could not have been more perfect
”
“I hope you’ll forgive us for this embarrassingly belated note of thanks for supplying us with absolutely the most gorgeous flowers for our wedding on 10 March. When I got the bouquet, I started to cry because it was just how I had dreamed it would be! When we saw the finished dining room at Kinkell, we simply couldn’t believe how stunning everything was. We’ve gotten comments from so many people on the flowers specifically. Thank you so, so much for all your work to make the day and night so beautiful. ”
“I wanted to thank you so so much for the flowers and all your work and everything else! The flowers were gorgeous. The table arrangements looked just perfect and I think you captured the feel of the day and what we wanted it to look like and it looked great. I’m sure you noticed that flowers were not really high up on my list of priorities, but after seeing the arrangements you made, they were probably one of the best parts of the wedding. I got so many compliments on the flower crown - everyone commented on it! It really changed the look of the dress to exactly the right look. I don’t think I can say enough to really express how perfect it was, and how much everyone loved it. The bouquet was also sooo beautiful. Again, I’m not into the regular ‘pretty’ flowers, and the bouquet you made was perfect! I had a friend commenting on how cool it was that I had succulents in the bouquet. I of course had the flower crown on all night. And of course, you! I wanted to thank you for being you. I was so touched by the sixpence you have me, I’m not sure I expressed that well enough at the time (I was a bit overwhelmed with everything and I think I just blocked any emotions I had!). I put it on my shoe and it was still there when I got home at night (and it’s now safely stored with our wedding cards). Thank you for being the wonderful kind person you are, and for answering the repetitive emails and working with our budget, and the little extra things you got done”
“Thank you so much for the stunning flowers you did for our wedding! We received so many compliments. Thank you also for being so accommodating and creative, I really appreciated how unflappable and solution-orientated you were in the wake of such emotion!!”
“I just wanted to write a quick email to say a big THANK YOU for doing such an amazing job with the flowers for our wedding. They where absolutely perfect. Just what I had in my mind. You are very clever to have read my mind after my less than clear guidance! Thank you for being so flexible with using our stands and lanterns etc and taking all that time to send me all those pinterest links etc!
