Weddings Flowers
During my time as a florist I have seen many changes in trends, fashions, tastes of flowers and styles of bouquets.
I am adaptable to your requests as each bride is unique, no two weddings are the same. I taylor my prices to match your budget while still offering the upmost quality and flare, after all this is your important special day.
At your first consultation I will discuss every aspect of your big day and get an idea of how you picture the flowers on your special day. I will help guide and advise you using my extensive portfolio, and will discuss colour, style and setting in depth to make sure my flowers compliment your wedding in every detail.
Using the information gained from our consultation, I will produce designs individual to yourself to reflect your personality and the style of your wedding.
I specialise in providing stunning flowers from wedding bouquets through to buttonholes and corsages. No matter what your style, Boho, Woodland, Festival, Traditional or Glamorous, I will do all I can to make your visions a reality.
About me
Hello, my name is Gillian, and I am the proud owner of Lavender Garden Flowers.
My love for floristry began straight after school when I started an apprenticeship with a local florist.
I quickly discovered a natural flair for creative floral design and knew I had found the career path I wanted to pursue.
My Story
I dedicated myself to my training, achieving City & Guilds qualifications at Levels 1, 2, 3, and 4, followed by a Diploma with distinction.
To offer a truly comprehensive service, I also completed in-house training with the Interflora Relay Service.
Eager to broaden my experience, I began demonstrating floristry techniques for organisations in Sheffield and at regional Interflora monthly meetings.
These opportunities allowed me to refine my skills and expand my creative knowledge.
Still driven to learn more, I travelled to Holland to study with some of the industry’s leading florists and attended an advanced course in Amsterdam.
By the age of 21, I felt ready to take the leap into self-employment - a decision that has proven to be one of the best I’ve ever made.
My passion for creating beautiful designs with flowers and plants continues to inspire me every day, and I relish the freedom and creativity that running my own business allows.
I stay committed to keeping up with new trends and techniques so I can bring fresh ideas and exceptional craftsmanship to every arrangement.
I am delighted to share that I have now established my own floristry studio at Molyneux Business Park in Darley Dale, open for visits by appointment.
I look forward to welcoming you and creating something truly special for your occasion.
