About us
Suzanne
I have loved flowers and nature from childhood and always painted and drawn nature. My decision to become a florist was based on combining both of these passions. I trained for 3 years and spent time working in the industry abroad and in London. During my early career I taught floristry and continue with workshops today, passing on my experiences and skills.
What is there not to love about being a wedding florist? Every week a new project to work on, fragrant and beautiful fresh blooms to work with and access to some of the most stunning venues, country houses and castles in the country.
No two couples (and so no two weddings) are ever the same and with the rotation of the seasons it is impossible to get bored.
My little workshop in my garden either dreaming up new designs or working on the next project, is one of my very favourite places to be.

My floristry career has been long and varied and includes working abroad, florist at The Savoy Hotel, owning my own florist shop in Sevenoaks, demontrating and teaching floristry at Hadlow college and other venues but I have always come back to wedding floristry. I think I just love the romance and all those fiddly bits that others don't have the patience for.
I believe that your wedding flowers should in some way be a reflection and expression of who you are, so we embrace and encourage personal flower designs with unique details and perfect finishing touches, the creation of something extraordinary, just for you!
I work with only the finest flowers from the best wholesalers and british growers where possible.
We are aiming to be green and working sustainably where possible and reduce and recycle where we can.
Flowers set mood, provide colour and focal points to your wedding day so they are HUGELY important!
With no restriction of a shop it means that I have time and energy to focus fully on every client and event, whether it's sourcing containers, matching lace, ribbons, broaches, beads, buttons etc or just simply being there for you with advice or to answer questions.
The Flowersmiths are very proud to be recommended suppliers at Hever Castle, The Gardens Yalding, Nettlestead Place and The Orchard Wedding Suite
