Me + the intense colour pigments from British flowers this time of year = in my element wedding zone.
Making tasty snacks on the terrace with @laboosflowers @thecolumbiahotel in that September light. Very quick BTS snaps! by @chloedupre

Birthdays and Summer Holidays on the Island 🌻
Swims off the rocks at tide out, birthday evening swim, perfect water temps, pre-breakfast dip, yoga on the terrace, improvised beach sundaes, wild flowers, crab linguine and cold wine etc. by @chloedupre

This is giving me life. The light, I exist!
Ready to embrace no coats go, probably a light jacket, lunch al fresco, new sunglasses, all the flowering trees etc.

Heading to my favourite small island for a big party. Some pics from my roll from last time I was there, in April! Can’t wait for a swim in that water. Oysters, seafood, beach bbq’s and lots of great people 🤍 by @chloedupre

Rewind a few weeks to frothy corners and country lanes at the Chelsea Flower Show, working on the team of the gorg @poppysturleyflowers as florist in residence. Here’s a few of the delicate moments I created along with @rosa.wild.floraldesign Shadows formed from wisteria trails, trees and a bounty of English flowers: honeysuckle, English roses, mock orange, sweet rocket. With plant material foraged and from the best British growers, the installation connected and blended spaces between other floral artists’ work. Poppy’s elegant re-design of the floristry area was such a joy to work on with our wonderful team and new friends. 🤍 by @chloedupre

Garden picks. The season. In your absolute peak.

#peonies by @chloedupre

In my opinion the most romantic thing would be for my lover to bring me a bundle of flowering magnolia branches for Valentine’s, that would slowly bloom at home over the next few weeks, their furry jackets bursting from the indoor warmth. How nice is that? Other ideas and inspo

1. Write a letter
2. Oysters and magnolia flowers are pretty ancient earthly tokens of life and love. (The earliest flower ancestor looked like a magnolia 140m years ago)
3. Tiny bulbs potted in mini terracotta pots to give to your friends and favourites

Admittedly I haven’t even styled them in the vase, such is their beauty. I’ll do more photos once flowering. Few other pics from my Pinterest. by @chloedupre

Gorgeous autumn morning, little guy on the mantel. Foliages on the fade with the last of the dahlias. That Virginia creeper is flushing everywhere right now, look out for it.

My needs weren’t being met, until I went on holiday.
Late summer sun, you treat me right. Rocks, coves, seafood seem to be my go-to’s. So glad I went with my gut to revisit this region in a new spot; I’ve been to Cadaqués, around Begur, inland hill towns and driven this best coast before. It’s the banks of pine trees that scent the air like a sauna that really gets me. 🧖🏻‍♀️

September holiday inspo. Shoulder season! The sea will be warm, less busy, maybe a sweater at dinner on the terrace, perfect. I’m chasing warmth to the Med as temps drop here. Some pics are from the last time I visited the region 🌊 by @chloedupre

Smoke cloud flower sculpture. I love making big pots, with @bleak__house @kinhousewiltshire 💨 by @chloedupre

Peony season + me over the years according to my phone.

I think why do we the people like peonies so much and perhaps it’s that they start small and tight, and expand and bloom as if to say, I exist for this. The enticing ruffled layers and petals like sheer vintage silk, say something simple and yet exuberant, giving us a lesson. by @chloedupre
