ABOUT FLAURA FLOWERS
Hi, I'm Laura and welcome to Flaura Flowers. After completing a career course in floristry at the Cambridge Flower School and just generally having a love for all things flowery I decided it was time to spend more of my time creating beautiful arrangements for others to love and enjoy.
Located in Walton, Chesterfield right on the edge of the beautiful Peak District I'm passionate about offering luxurious artisan floral designs and specialty products. Whether it be a gift for someone else, a gift to self or floral designs for an event or special occasion we all need a bit of flowery goodness in our lives.
I consider myself very lucky that I get to spend time running and growing my floristry business alongside working as an Environment and Sustainability Specialist, which I continue to do 4 days a week. My professional background, knowledge and vast experience in Environmental Science and Sustainability compliment and influence my approach to my floristry and how I run my business.
Aside from the above, I enjoy spending time with my lovely husband, our dog Oreo (she's a collie x saluki and an absolute princess!) and being outdoors as much as possible.
Having fairly recently been through the experience of planning my own wedding I feel I understand the ups and downs of wedding planning, and some aspects can feel so unknown and challenging when they are areas we are not familiar with. So.....when it comes to organising your wedding flowers- let me help, its what I love to do...and I feel I'm pretty awesome at! I relied on some other fabulous suppliers for my big day (list included below if interested), and I'm so glad I did. I did, with a great deal of love, joy and determination plan and design my own wedding flowers, it felt right for me to (no judgement of course on florists who don't!) and I'm so super pleased I did.
Kudos and shout out to our fabulous wedding suppliers- why not check them out!! If you click on the links you might even get a little sneak peak at our big day..Of course Oreo was the star of the show!! Xx
