Once upon a time

From the ringing of the Church bells, the sheer elegance and magic of a Bridal gown, weddings have always had a way to really lure me in. It all began when I was just five years old and was asked to be Bridesmaid for a relative. I would sneak into my parents room and take the dress out and wiggle it over my school uniform and prance around in the mirror imagining what it felt like to be a Bride. I'd eagerly await the sight of a Bride arriving at our local church in a classic car witnessing the magic unfold as she elegantly walked through the tree-lined church grounds. Fast-forward into adulthood, and a budding-florist grew, from growing flowers in my allotment to creating floral bouquets for family in my spare time I wanted to create a business from my passions.
 There isn't much good to come from a global pandemic however it provided me time and the opportunity to retrain as a professional Florist undertaking accredited British Floral Association qualifications. Since starting Flowers by Tanya in 2021 I have had the privilege to create wedding florals in over 12 counties spanning Cathedrals to stately homes, marquees to boat houses. My favourite flowers tell a story of romance, encapsulating the best that nature has to offer from all of the seasons. My flowers are grown locally where possible, from my own cutting garden or from Holland, the home of flowers.
