Having dressed a number of show homes for Open Days with fresh floral arrangements, I decided to train for my Floristry qualifications at Chichester College, gaining a distinction.

I have exhibited at Chelsea Flower Show, the Spring Florist Show in Birmingham and the South of England Show and have worked with international designers Earthworks in West London.

For many years I worked at Gravetye Manor Hotel near East Grinstead creating floral displays throughout the hotel and wedding work.

I now concentrate on using my design skills to produce bespoke wedding and funeral work alongside floral displays to enhance my interior design schemes.

I treat every client individually listening to their needs and sympathetically interpret them into something both beautiful and unique.

My work reflects my creative ability and my philosophy is to use the natural beauty of flowers and foliage in an eclectic and artistic way to create designs which please and excite my clients.

Client comments

'Thank you so much for all your time and the effort you put into the flowers for our wedding. Everything was perfect and beyond our expectations. Thank you for making our day so special.'

'Sandra I felt I must write to thank you for your sensitivity and creativity regarding my mother's funeral. You went far beyond the call of duty to make a very difficult day into a celebration of her life through flowers. Thank you so much for organising all the floral arrangements and so much more.'
