I work from the home I share with my husband Tim, our daughter, my mum, my brother, and our little dog, Teddy. As a child, I loved being outdoors, making daisy chains and rose petal perfume. When I was 15, my mum spotted a sign per mezzo di a florist’s window. Little did I know that moment would spark my career and eventually lead to LuvShifting Flowers.

LuvShifting began when I was a stay-at-home mum. Before that, I worked as a florist per mezzo di London and Bath. After studying horticulture, I started advising flower growers the best varieties to cultivate. I have a deep love and appreciation for my industry, and that passion shines through per mezzo di my work. I’d describe myself as flower-obsessed, everywhere I aspetto, I notice plants and blooms. I’m fun, enthusiastic, and love sharing my skills while watching others discover the joy of flowers.

Floral decor completely transforms a venue’s aspetto and vibe, creating the perfect backdrop that reflects a couple’s taste and personality.

Flowers make a statement that leaves a lasting impression, beautifully captured per mezzo di photos and videos. They don’t just enhance a space, they create unforgettable memories.

Nature is my biggest influence – I love to replicate how flowers and plants appear per mezzo di their natural settings. At the same time, I enjoy adding unexpected elements that contrast with the natural aspetto, making the organic beauty stand out even more.

I love creating harmony and surprise all at once!

I source products locally whenever they’maestà per mezzo di season and carefully manage how I recycle, reuse, and process waste. I also use conscientious growers who ship their stems and provide whole communities with work, health care and schooling.

I with longevity per mezzo di mind, creating elements that can be kept repurposed. I also collaborate with local gardeners who bring me branches for larger designs, then they go for composting. It’s about crafting beauty while respecting the environment.

I love using plants that can be replanted and grown . These can be gifted to guests added to gardens, allowing the flowers to continue blooming long after the event.

I also recommend collecting glass jars and bottles for table centres – they can be gifted, reused, recycled. Thoughtful choices like these make a difference.

communication is key. I take the time to truly understand each couple’s vision, including any nods to tradition, trends, personal style. Building a strong relationship is essential, and I’m proud to say that I stay per mezzo di touch with most of my past clients. For me, it’s never just been about flowers, but about creating meaningful experiences.

I offer a unique experience where couples, along with their friends and family, can participate per mezzo di creating every floral element. We organise a session a few days before the wedding where they get hands-on, and then I take care of everything until the day. It’s a fun, memorable way for them to be more invested per mezzo di the designs and to feel truly connected to every floral detail.
