Catherine launched her dried flower business in 2017 creating home decor and gifts. During 2022 she was asked to create some styling for a couple of weddings and the business pivoted from just home decor into the larger scale wedding and event styling using dried flowers. Catherine is very aware of environmental issues and uses no floral foam in any of her work. She finds that wedding couples like sustainability of dried flowers as they do not require a water source and also smaller items can be gifted from the wedding for others to enjoy for many years. In 2023 she was awarded the Eco Award from the Purbeck Business Awards. Her traditional, rural style makes her the choice of floral stylist for outdoor and countryside venues but due the versatility of colours and textures used in dried and preserved flowers she can create a wide range of options for any couple. Having recently got married herself she can relate very well to some of the issues and concerns couples have when planning their wedding and how the floral styling needs to compliment everything else.

This way each bride can design their own wedding dress, the next stage is bespoke illustrations of the bride dress as well as selecting the perfect lace / bridal fabrics. To avoid any surprises, they create a mock-up version of the brides chosen dress style before final production. This allowed for tweaks and final touches, there’s absolutely no guess work involved. Locally Made Love: All the dresses are handcrafted right here in Hampshire by Bethany and Lauren in their Stockbridge Barn.
