Misty fruitfulness and my darling dahlias epitomise the autumnal season. More than any other, it holds that feeling of the last beautiful blooms from summer just before the iron cold hard winter closes in. Sunflowers, rudbeckia and textural amaranthus are at their boldest just before the ice of winter makes it's presence felt.

Romantic, artisan natural designs that are authentic to their surroundings and are very British - this is how I like to 'do the flowers' as my floral heroine Constance Spry would say.

This aesthetic, which I call wild garden style, reflects my floral design philosophy.

Below are images highlighting some of my wild garden style floral designs.

My style is evolving and changing as I continue to learn - just like the seasons. I would love to hear your views on my autumn floral design portfolio or you can check out my winter floral design portfolio.
