Hello and welcome to Bracken and Twine Flowers. My name is Katy and I have this thing about flowers! I LOVE them. I've always been this way since I was a child. I adored nurturing the flower beds in my parents garden. I instinctively cut the flowers and made little posies, arranging them in little jugs and teacups.
Family holidays consisted of long walks through woods, gathering wild flowers and pressing them. It was inevitable that I would follow the path towards a creative career. 

I’ve been in the floristry industry for 18 years. Most of what I have learnt is through hands on experience working in florist shops and freelancing. I also studied for 5 years in which I achieved a First Diploma (Distinction) and National Certificate (Double Distinction) in Floristry.

I'm married to Ben and we have two children and a pup called Ludo. At every opportune moment we like to be nature explorers! Once, my little girl stumbled across a carpet of snowdrops and she said enthusiastically "this is AMAZING!" Inside I melted and laughed at the same time as she imitates my same feelings towards flowers. Being a freelance florist is perfect as it serves my desire to be creative whilst having a young family.

My philosophy is simple, to let the flowers do the talking, more often than not reflecting the seasons.

There is not a moment that goes by that I do not think about flowers, it's inbuilt into my very being.
