Inspiration Gyp

When I first became a florist, I absolutely hated Gypsophila (babies breath) I thought it looked cheap, old fashioned and it smelt really bad! At the time I was much more interested in super modern, chic designs like that of the Dutch Master Florists. However just 8 short years later rustic, vintage flowers are right on trend and gyp is everywhere!! And now I find myself suggesting it to brides as a low cost yet pretty and elegant alternative.

I love this for a rustic country wedding!

It also looks great on its own in a bouquet for a bride or bridesmaid.

Up-cycled jam jars hanging from trees or to decorate the ends of pews!

Table Centres!! So cute

The possibilities are endless! So Gyp, I am willing to give you a second chance! 

The Flower Shed

I'm Kirsty a freelance florist based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. I began my career in 2006 and completed my NVQ Level 2 in 2008. The moment I walked into the shop on my very first day I knew that I was meant to be a florist and I absolutely love what I do!

Working from my Flower Shed I create beautiful bespoke designs for weddings, events and funerals. I offer a personal service, passion and a real love for flowers. This is the start of something really special and I am prepared to put everything I have into making The Flower Shed a success. I hope you enjoy reading my blog and following me as I embark on this new adventure.
