About the Business

Vanilla Rose was born in London in 2004 after I’d spent several years working in the photography industry, had an early mid-life crisis (very early I would like to add!), decided on a career change and signed up to floristry course. Since then, with a fantastic little team, I have worked in some of the most amazing venues, with some of the most interesting clients. We have laughed until we can’t breathe, we have drunk the odd glass of wine while pulling all-nighters, we’ve had the occasional emergency dash to the flower market at 3am and, somewhere along the way, our creativity, attention to detail, and love of flowers, has made us very popular.

In 2013, following the birth of my son and craving some space and fresh air, I moved to close to Loch Lomond with all its gorgeous wedding venues, leaving Sam (who has been a florist since the beginning of time (sorry, Sam) in charge of London operations in our Putney studio! We were after rural living in Scotland and we found it – a couple of acres with enough space for a few chickens and ducks, a vegetable patch and, most importantly for me, a purpose built studio and workshop so I could work close to home, my boy, and his sister who arrived a couple of years after we moved up here!

So that’s a bit about me. And Sam? Sam, as well as being a fabulous florist with a wealth of experience and imagination, is one of the warmest, friendliest people you could hope to meet. She loves cats, hates paperwork, and once found a fox in her house!

Wedding Flowers

Our small, friendly, creative team of florists share a passion for flowers combined with a genuine desire to make your day the most gorgeous it can be. But don’t take our word for it. As much as we love blowing our own trumpet, our previous brides and grooms can do the job much better for us!

Wedding planning taking over your life? We were brides once and remember that feeling! That’s why we’ll try and do everything we can to make life a little bit easier for you. We are flexible with consultations – evenings or weekends are no problem and we can communicate via email, telephone or Skype as much (or as little….) as you wish.

Following your initial consultation you will receive a detailed quote including all set up and delivery costs – no surprises. Which brings us to the budget….we know how important it is, but we also know you want beautiful wedding flowers. We are always happy to recommend alternatives to help you stick to yours, but we promise we will never compromise on quality in order to cut costs.
