The Prosperous Creatrix
Botanical headpieces and props were commissioned for a brand photoshoot. With a theme of 'Enlightened Archetypes', the props were designed to complement four costume changes embodying The Lover, The Magician, The Sovereign and The Warrior. An amazing experience involving talented creatives.

ITV'S CORONATION STREET
Dream Wedding
Coronation Street commissioned a series of giant daisies for a Street wedding in 2023 - a set of beautiful flowers for the bride - Daisy - as she fantasised about her dream day. Don't you think the set dressers have done an amazing job (with my flowers!) dressing the Rover's Return for Daisy's big dream!
Emma & Curtis's Wedding
Coronation Street commissioned twelve giant flowers on stands for a Street wedding back in 2021. Delivering the flowers to the set was almost as exciting as watching the show when it aired! The brief was to create crazy, fantasy flowers for an over the top, crazy kitsch wedding. Lots of colours, to tie in with an overall dusky pink colour scheme. I think we nailed it! This was my first big commission as a paper florist, can you imagine the excitement in the studio the day that call came though?!
Paper by Dragonfly creates botanical props for events, films and photoshoots. GET IN TOUCH if you have a botanical idea which needs exploring - I love to be challenged.
The passion-flower that grew in my grandmother's garden.
A handmade flower is a beautiful keepsake for yourself - or a thoughtful and tender gift for someone you love.
What flower would you choose?
Recent commissions include a pair of Night Blooming Cereus flowers, a trio of sunflowers and a giant foxglove. A range which truly reflects the variety of nature.
But also - turquoise flowers, giant fantasy flowers, a quiver filled with red flowers and a hat covered with botanical herbs. The potential for creativity is endless.
My process involves a lot of research in order to produce the most accurate floral representation I can, and this includes in-depth communication with you. My passion flower has violet and brown petals (shown to the left) - but your passion flower may be pure white, or ruby red.
