Ali Mapletoft
The Prosperous Creatrix
Botanical headpieces and props were commissioned for a brand photoshoot. The theme of the shoot was 'Enlightened Archetypes' and the props were designed to complement four costume changes - the embodiment of The Lover, The Magician, The Sovereign and The Warrior. This was an amazing experience involving some great creative people and wonderful to have been involved with.

ITV'S CORONATION STREET
Dream Wedding
Coronation Street commissioned a series of giant daisies for a Street wedding in 2023. This time the brief was to create beautiful flowers for the bride - Daisy - as she fantasised about her dream wedding. 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.
