Flowers beyond the expected

Nicky creates flowers for private dinners, celebrations, launches, cultural projects and large-scale installations across the UK.

Based in Stroud and working throughout the Cotswolds, London and beyond, she brings a sculptor’s eye to the way flowers inhabit a space, considering not only how they look, but how they feel and how people move within them.

Experience behind the idea & the invisible work

A bright indoor space with large windows and potted plants and flowers, some on small stools and tables, bathed in sunlight.

Large-scale floristry has to work beyond the photograph. Nicky understands structure, weight, access, timing, longevity, venue requirements and safe installation.

Comfortable leading a team and working alongside other team members, she can turn ambitious ideas into something beautifully realised, safely and calmly.
