Meet the team

Lottie has a background in art and design, completing a Fine Art Photography degree in Brighton in 2014. In search of a career that was creative yet hands on, Lottie turned to floristry and quickly found a role in which she thrived. Initially training in London, she went on to work in busy flower shops before finding her niche working in wedding and event floristry. Her photographic studies greatly inform her work – an understanding of colour, composition and form translated well into working with and arranging flowers. She loves working with scented flowers and foliage, such as garden roses, sweet peas and fresh herbs. Lottie is constantly inspired by the English countryside and enjoys working in response to the changing seasons.
