Why I wanted to be a florist

Being a Southampton based florist.

I've always been drawn to beauty in the natural world — the colors, textures, and delicate details that flowers uniquely offer. Becoming a florist felt like the perfect way to turn that admiration into a creative and meaningful career.

Flowers have a quiet power. They mark life's biggest moments — celebrations, farewells, beginnings, and everything in between. I wanted to be a part of that. To use my hands and creativity to help people express feelings that words sometimes can’t.

There’s also something deeply calming and grounding about working with flowers. Arranging them isn’t just about design; it's about intuition, emotion, and connection. Being a florist allows me to bring joy, comfort, and beauty into people’s lives in a tangible way — and that, to me, is incredibly fulfilling.
