Following on from my workshop announcement video hereโs the info from Green and Grounded regarding their Christmas wreath workshops ๐ค
It is certainly too early for Mariah screaming, yet it is not too early to secure your spot for this yearโs Christmas Wreath Workshop.
As you may be aware, we enjoy changing venues and collaborating with our industry pals, and this year is no different. We are excited to partner with Manchesterโs finest brunch and bistro, .co, and will be hosting events in both Altrincham and Sale.
Join us for an enjoyable evening where you will create a luxurious, handmade door wreath. Throughout the session, you will craft a stunning, aromatic door wreath and acquire the skills necessary to replicate your creation repeatedly.
Employing sustainable techniques with a reusable base, along with exquisite festive foliage, berries, seed heads, and ribbon embellishments, we will guide you through a step-by-step masterclass to design an impactful, wild, and Green and Grounded signature-style Christmas wreath for your front door.
This event is ideal for anyone, whether you are attending alone, as a couple, or as part of a larger group. There is no need to bring anything, as all materials and instruction will be provided. Additionally, you will receive a complimentary festive drink or glass of sparkling wine upon arrival.

Sophie & Darren
19โข08โข2023
What can I say about these two , from the moment I met them I knew weโd have a blast and that they were totally awesome. From designing to creating they put their complete trust in me and it was such an ace experience. Both Sophie & Darren have a creative flair (which iโve seen in my wreath workshops and in their beautiful home) and they thought about every detail for their big day. Using an autumnal pallet with a pop of light the florals captured their elegant, gothic side with a sprinkle of halloween fun. Sophies bouquet included my home grown dried astilbe, tonnes of foliages, amaranthus, dried burnt orange roses, hydrangea, bunny tails, pampas, scabious seed heads and leavesโฆlots of leaves. Finished with trailing ribbons and the most beautiful memento tied to the handle to remember a special loved one.
Darrens shotgun case buttonhole was presented to him in a Black Raven velvet lined coffin box with my Raven and Skull wax seal.
A beautiful dried foliage door wreath with matching trailing ribbons and floral statement arrangement was used to adorn their beautiful wedding reception..their awesome home.. party central.
The cherry on the top was the surprise gift Sophie commissioned for her hubby to be..I absolutely loved making them their very own custom ghost parlour dome..the perfect spooky addition to their beautiful day.
Loads of proffessional shots by the fantastic coming soon..wait until you see them *swoon. For now youโll have to just look at my snapsโฆ.

When you open your inbox and itโs full of epic images from an absolutely awesome couple! Thanks so much for sharing ๐ค
Jane knew exactly what she wanted when we discussed florals for their Halloween weddingโฆmuted autumnal tones was the vibe with interesting textures
Ingredients such as black bunny tails, Black Pampas grass, Crocosmia, hydrangea, scabious seed heads, eucalyptus, red roses, mini pumpkins, amaranthus and contorted hazel to name a few. Dried mini pumpkins and florals adorned the tables with the most beautiful carved wooden pumpkins by their talented friend
Jazzy their beloved dog even matched the bridal party with matching ribbons attached to their lead.

Iโll admit..iโm a little giddyโฆThe spectacle today will be one to remember. Wether your a fan of the royals or not..the amount of talented makers that work behind the scenes on the Robes, outfits, the Crowns and ceremonial jewellery, the florals, the Carriages ectโฆjust phenomenal workmanship. Personally iโm looking forward to watching it and appreciating the huge team of people making this historical day look phenomenal. Much of the ceremony hasnโt changed since Medieval times..I wonder how it will all translate to the modern day.
My personal collection are enjoying their special crown and looking forward to the homemade victoria sponge ๐ค๐ป๐ค
Whatever you are doing have a great Bank Holiday weekend!

After a busy weekend trading at the very first (which was fabulous btw!) and piles of admin I am back at this morning resetting my shop. Thanks for all the orders..iโll be cracking on with them this week.
This week is a bit of a manic one so please bear with me.
This special head dress was for a rather wonderful customer..isnโt she a beat perfectly modelled by my veiled lady.
โ๐บ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐..โ
The past few months there has been a flurry of enquiries for wedding florals..mostly for October (our favourite month) and my diary if nearly fullโฆeekk!
I am absolutely loving how my awesome customers are really expressing themselves with their floral designs, outfits, hair, makeup venues, jewellery and decor and I canโt wait to see all the details come together. It is so important to do things your way and it fills me with such happiness that the wedding world is changing and becoming a more expressive, inclusive world ๐
To enquire about florals for your celebration please drop me an email or DM and we can arrange a meet up (obviously we have to grab a brew too!) a video call or a good old fashioned phone call! I will take you through what colours will work, floral ingredients and designs to fit your specific vibe. I can even help with recommendations of other fabulous suppliers from celebrants to photographers, dress designers and jewellers. I love shouting about the talented people I get to work alongside.
If you are a past couple who rocked your wedding with Black Raven florals drop me a DM! I am after your beautiful professional images for my victorian photo album to show off and inspire other couples for their big day

Today is the start of ran by and my very first one!
โItโs a chance for independent businesses to use their collective power to encourage people back to our town centres, to say thank you to customers who supported them during these testing times and to prove once again, that the small guys can compete with the online giants & the supermarkets. In fact they beat them hands down in many ways, but most of all their contribution to our local economies.โ
What a great idea! There are many of us in joining in and there is a real buzz about it..go and check it out!
Some of the items I specially made for are curio jars, wreaths, embroidery floral hoops and bottle arrangements! Check out my stories for more info and head into to purchase from my dedicated fiverfest cabinet!!!!!
