Hi, I’m Helen — the face behind the wreaths.

I teach wreath making workshops, create ready-made giftable wreaths, and design beginner-friendly DIY wreath kits that help people slow down, get creative, and make something beautiful with confidence.

When I’m not surrounded by faux florals and ribbon, I’m also a wedding photographer — capturing love stories and all the little moments that matter most.

I’m a music lover, a wife, a mum, and a very proud granny. My heart also lives in Majorca, and every year we try to escape there for sunshine, sea air, and a slower pace of life.

I’m naturally very shy and introverted until I get to know people… and then you probably won’t be able to shut me up.

The things I value most are loyalty, empathy, creativity, and kindness. In a world that can feel very busy and overwhelming, I truly believe kindness should come above everything else.

Whether you’re here to buy a wreath, join a workshop, or try one of my kits for the first time or you are looking for a wedding photographer — I’m so glad you found me. ✨ taken in Amerton Farm by @willowand_bloom

🌸 What does your hen party look like? 🤍

Looking for something a little different to celebrate with your favourite people? Your mum, future mother-in-law, aunties and best friends? 🥹

Imagine an afternoon of wreath making, laughter, a little creativity and quality time together before you walk down the aisle. 💍

A chance to slow down, make memories and enjoy a wholesome experience with the people who mean the most to you.

And the best part? You’ll each take home a beautiful handmade wreath — a keepsake to remember this special chapter of your life, your bride era. 🌿✨

Because your hen party doesn’t have to be all cocktails and clubbing. Sometimes, the most meaningful memories are made around a table, creating something beautiful together. 🤍

🌸 Perfect for hen parties and baby showers
🌸 A relaxed, creative experience
🌸 A beautiful keepsake to take home

💌 Interested in booking a hen party or baby shower wreath workshop? Send me a DM, and let’s create something special together!

✨ Two hours of relaxation, creativity and a little bit of you time. 🌿

Our wreath-making workshops are about so much more than creating a beautiful wreath to hang on your door.

They’re a chance to slow down, switch off from the everyday chaos, enjoy a cuppa (or a glass of fizz 🥂), have a good chat and lose yourself in a little creativity.

No pressure, no experience needed, and no need to be crafty. Just come along, relax, and enjoy doing something for yourself. 🤍

You’ll leave with a beautiful handmade wreath, but hopefully a lighter mind, a happier heart and a few lovely memories too. 🌸

Because sometimes, the best thing you can do is take a couple of hours just for you.

Relax. Create. Enjoy.

📩 Get in touch to find out about our upcoming workshops.

If I was starting a small business this week… this is what I would do.

Actually, no. Don’t listen to me. 😂

I set up an Etsy shop before I’d even made a single product.

I signed up for a physical shop location.

I already had a website ready to go.

And I’ve pretty much invested every last penny into making this little dream of mine happen. 🫣

Did I do things the sensible way? Absolutely not.

Did I probably run before I could walk? Definitely.

Have I spent nights worrying about money, wondering if I’ve made a massive mistake and questioning what on earth I’m doing? Yep.

But I had an idea, I wanted to give it a go, and I jumped straight in with both feet.

I’m learning as I go, making mistakes along the way and probably doing about 90% of it backwards. 😂

I’m not going to sit here pretending I’ve got it all figured out, because I really haven’t.

I’m just a woman trying to build something of her own, hoping it all works out and trying not to have a meltdown when it doesn’t go to plan. 🤣

So, if you’re thinking about starting a small business, maybe do as I say, not as I do!

And please tell me I’m not the only one who gets carried away with an idea and just goes for it. 😂❤️

❄️ Winter or Christmas? You choose…

Not everyone wants a Christmas wreath hanging on their door from November onwards — and that’s exactly why I love this design. 🤍

At my winter wreath workshop, you create a wreath that works for YOU.

🌿 Keep it beautifully floral and natural for a gorgeous winter wreath you can enjoy from November right through to March.

✨ Or, if you love a bit of Christmas sparkle, accessorise it with beautiful baubles and a velvet bow.

And the best bit? The Christmas decorations can be removable. Once Christmas is over, simply take them off and you’re left with a beautiful winter wreath that still looks completely at home on your door.

So whether you’re Christmas mad or prefer something a little more understated, you don’t have to choose a Christmas wreath just because it’s November.

Come along, switch off for a couple of hours, create something beautiful and enjoy some proper time for yourself or with friends. 🤍

🌿 Winter/Christmas Wreath Workshop
🌸 Everything included
🤍 £45 per person
✨ A couple of hours to relax, create & enjoy

You don’t have to be “Christmas” to come to a Christmas-season wreath workshop. You just need to fancy a couple of hours to yourself. ❤️

You need two hours where nothing is expected of you. ❤️

I make wreaths because, for me, it makes my mind quieter. There’s something about choosing the flowers, getting lost in the creating and simply being present that gives my brain a little break from everything else.

And that’s exactly what I want my workshops to feel like.

✨ Come on your own or bring your favourite people
✨ A glass of fizz waiting for you
✨ No experience needed
✨ Create your own beautiful faux floral wreath to take home
✨ Two hours to switch off, chat, laugh and just be

🎄 Christmas Wreath Workshop
Sunday 29th November | 5–7pm
📍 Alrewas Royal British Legion
🥂 Glass of fizz on arrival
🌸 £45 per person

So if life has felt a little bit too much lately, perhaps this is your sign to give yourself two hours that are just for you.

Come and make something beautiful — and hopefully leave with a slightly quieter mind. 🤍

Tag the friend who deserves a little bit of time out too. 🥂✨

There’s something a little bit magical about making your own Christmas wreath.

Not just because you get to take home something beautiful.

But because for a couple of hours…

You get to slow down.

Put your phone down.

Forget the never-ending to-do list.

And make something with your own hands. 🤍

My seasonal wreath workshops are about so much more than wreath making.

They’re a chance to get together with your favourite people.

Have a drink.

Have a laugh.

Get creative.

And enjoy a little bit of YOU time.

You don’t need to be crafty.

You don’t need any previous wreath-making experience.

And you definitely don’t need to know what you’re doing!

I’ll guide you through everything step by step. 🌿

From choosing your foliage…

To creating the shape…

Adding your flowers…

And finishing it with those little details that make it completely YOURS.

And yes…

There’s something very satisfying about walking out with a handmade Christmas wreath that you’ve created yourself. 🎄

Imagine hanging it on your front door.

Knowing you made it.

Or making one with your mum.

Your sister.

Your best friend.

Your daughter.

Your work girls.

Because these are the moments we remember.

Not the hours spent scrolling.

Not the endless Christmas shopping.

But the afternoons where we laughed until our cheeks hurt.

And created something beautiful together.

My wreath workshops are relaxed, friendly and completely beginner-friendly.

All materials are provided.

You just need to bring yourself…

And perhaps your favourite people. 🥂

Seasonal wreath workshops are also the perfect Christmas experience gift.

A Christmas gift that isn’t another thing to put in a cupboard.

It’s an experience.

A memory.

And a wreath they can enjoy all Christmas long.

So if you’ve been thinking about joining me for a wreath-making workshop this year…

This is your sign. ✨

Christmas workshop dates are now available to book.

Spaces are limited.

And once they’re gone…

They’re gone.

🎄 Want the booking links?

Comment CHRISTMAS below and I’ll send them straight to you. 🤍

Meet Lilith 🖤💜
Watch me make my Halloween wreath in less than 60 seconds… because apparently all that goes into creating her can be condensed into one minute 😂

Dark florals, skulls, pumpkins, black velvet and a little bit of witchy magic ✨

She’s definitely one of my favourites this Halloween.

I suppose I could get a 9–5.

I could spend less time worrying about where the next sale is coming from, whether the workshops will fill, or whether I’ll make enough this month.

But then I wouldn’t get to do THIS.

And this makes me happy. 🤍

Seeing one of my wreaths hanging on your door makes me happy.

Seeing you come along to a workshop, creating something with your own hands, laughing with your friends and taking a little time for yourself…

That makes me happy.

Creating something beautiful from a bunch of flowers and a simple wreath base makes me happy.

It might not always be easy.
It might not always make financial sense.
And some days I absolutely question what I’m doing.

But a 9–5 is not my happy.

This is. 🌿🤍

And I think that’s reason enough to keep going.#smallcreator #smallbusiness #ukwreath #wreathmaking #giftsforher🎁 by @willowand_bloom
