Step into the studio, home of Ivy Pip & Rose

Is it cliché to say that we’re not you’re average florists? I’m always looking to do things a little bit differently, spending (far too many) hours looking for interesting things to work with that are… less ordinary.

The Ivy Pip & Rose floral design style is elegant and timeless.

We are mindful of the floristry's impact on the environment, and make a conscious effort to opt-out from using traditional floral foam, repurpose any single-use items and place an emphasis on Welsh and British grown flowers where we can.

My story

I spent my childhood in our family farmhouse, nestled on the edge of Snowdonia.

As one of five children, mum was happy to give me a ‘fairly’ free rein in the garden. I fell in love with garden flowers, spending happy hours exploring and playing, practising life as a floral designer, making flower crowns for my sisters, before I even knew what that was. 

As us country children often do, I felt the bright lights of city life pulling me in and headed off to London to find out what all the fuss was about. I trained and worked as a solicitor, while I loved my work, I missed being creative.

Soon enough, the solution presented itself. My Aunt had been a florist and my unofficial mentor, teaching me the basics as a teenager, while I’d been doing the flowers at friends’ weddings for years. I decided to become a floral designer.

So, I took an internship at Flower Girl in New York to refresh my floral design skills, and Ivy Pip & Rose grew its first buds in 2013.

The Team

Floristry and in particular wedding work can be demanding. It is possible thanks to a reliable team of freelancers. The early starts and long days are made possible with snack, coffee and many a Spotify playlist. And of course we’re all cheered on by Ted, Ivy Pip & Rose’s furriest fan.

I’m now back in North Wales

I have a studio in Llandwrog, Gwynedd that I’m delighted to call my own. With the sea in one direction and the Welsh mountains in the other, I’m surrounded by nature. Which, despite the ever-changing seasons, still acts as my greatest design inspiration.
