About
I'm Karen, a York-based floral designer with a passion for creating beautiful, natural arrangements. I bring over 15 years of experience in the fashion industry as a womenswear print designer to my floral work. I'm a creative soul, always seeking new challenges and inspired by the endless possibilities of floral design.
My floral journey began at Covent Garden Flower Academy in 2016, where I studied wedding floristry. I've also honed my skills through various workshops with leading floral schools and a Level 2 Floristry Skills certificate from a local York college. This training, combined with experience working for local florists while freelancing, led me to establish Blossom & Wild Florals.
I'm passionate about working with seasonal, British flowers whenever possible, bringing a garden-style aesthetic to all my arrangements. Sustainability is a core value, and I strive to minimize my environmental impact. Outside of the floral world, I enjoy interior design programs, Thai food, wine (all varieties!), and stargazing. I pour my creativity into every Blossom & Wild Florals design, and I'm excited to see what the future holds.
