Ivy Cottage Flowers

I love to be creative with flowers and have a passion for floristry and floral art.

After gaining my qualification in Professional Floristry in 2021 and working alongside some great local florists, I really keen to put my skills to use and enjoy every aspect of floristry.

I particularly love to dry and preserve flowers, maintaining their natural beauty and shape which allow me to create pieces of floral art.

Using various techniques I can dry your flowers and create a special keepsake with your arrangement. Displayed in quality handcrafted shadow box frames or light-enhancing floating frames; wreaths, resin or an open piece of flower art.

Each design is carfully arranged to reflect your story and create a one-of-a-kind keepsake

Beautiful flowers bring joy and elegance into everyday life

I have had the best possible experience dealing with Sally. What a genuinely lovely lady. One of our daughters got married in September and the other daughter was a bridesmaid. I wanted to have their bridal bouqets made into dried floral art in floral frames. Peter at the Frame shop in Skipton made bespoke frames for me and Sally painstakingly preserved the flowers and then created stunning displays with them. I picked the two incredible pieces today. They are absolutely amazing. Soon my daughters will have the most beautiful gifts to hang on their walls and have something to treasure from the beautiful wedding. I could not receommend Sally more highly or thank her enough for what she has done. I will be a regular customer from now on. Thank you again Sally.

I’m so thrilled with the 3 dried flower box arrangements that Sally made to remember my Dad. They are beautiful.

I really had no idea what to do with the flowers, other than a vague idea of having them professionally preserved. Sally listened carefully to what I was trying to achieve, dried the flowers perfectly and then we carefully worked out what to do. I’m so grateful for Sally’s gentle suggestions, her patience while I changed my mind and her final delicate arrangements.

Thank you

Sally supplies flowers for guests with special occasions at my holiday cottage ; Poppy Cottage in Carleton, Skipton.
Guests always comment how beautiful the flowers are.
Sally is very experienced in all aspects of floristry and is highly recommended for any occasion.

Forever Flowers ...

Dried here in the cottage, cropped and hung throughout the summer or carefully preserved in silica gel to maintain their colour and beauty, I am able to create everlasting pieces of floral art to help you celebrate and remember your most meaningful flowers.
