Buckle up, it’s story time!

I’ve always loved flowers, from watching them grow in my childhood garden to getting lost in their beauty as an adult. But my true floral journey began in 2018, after the funeral of a loved one. A family friend, Fran Bailey, designed the flowers for the service, and I was completely captivated by how the arrangements captured the spirit of the person we lost. It was healing in a way I never expected, and I knew I had to learn more.

I trained with Fran in South London, despite the 4-hour daily commute, and soon started freelancing in floristry, working on events, TV, and film. But like many others, my path was interrupted by COVID. I pivoted to creating handmade floral cards, wreaths, and bouquets from my Mum’s house, while I worked in the film industry. But eventually, I realized florals were my true calling, and in 2021, I moved onto my narrowboat, Decadence, where Bouquets on a Boat was born.

In February 2023, I took the plunge and left the film industry to focus on florals full-time. Now, I spend my time traveling around London’s waterways, selling bouquets from my boat, while also diving into floristry for weddings, events, and editorial work.

I’ve since moved to Surrey, where I’m growing my business and branching out, offering more local floral services. With a little help from my cat (who joined the adventure shortly after the boat life began), I’m living my dream, surrounded by flowers, designing beautiful arrangements, and bringing joy to everyone I meet.

And no, hayfever still won’t stop me!
