So, who is Stella?
My most frequently asked question. Who is Stella? Or are you Stella? Well actually she’s one of the reasons I set up my little flower shed.
She was my Gran, an auburn hair Geordie who loved all things flora and fauna and was passionate about nature, outdoors and sustainability (way ahead of her time). She was born in 1912 and was a stoic WW2 RAF veteran.
My flower journey
So that you get to know me better, here’s my back story. (I will definitely ask about yours when we meet.)
In the depths of lockdown 2020, I needed to do something creative. I tried baking (lots of burnt banana bread), started to play the piano (I’m still learning) and fell head first very happily into online floristry courses.
Fast forward, and with lots of hard work, practice and study, Stella Blooms was established. My days are spent at my flower studio, nestled against Dyffryn Woods in Neath, South Wales.
I believe in relaxed and stress free wedding consultations.
If I’m chatting to you about floristry or wedding flowers, I’ll never expect you to know every flower. I’ll let you into a secret, I don’t either. Just give me a colour palette and your favourite or meaningful flowers, and I’ll do the rest.
Other things I think you should know
I have two lovely children (my mini bloomers) and two bouncy sprocker spaniels. You’ll meet them all on Instagram.
Outside of the flower shed, I love spin sessions, fossils and dinosaurs, reading (yes I am in a book club), tattoos, cake (what florist doesn’t) and being anywhere sunny.
