Wowzers.. I have been an extremely busy bear lately - so so sorry for the lack of posts and inspirational tips on the blog here at Elle Maverick Events. Today however, we have a little treat for you! I found the glorious Lola via social networking sites (how most wonderful working relationships bloom these days!) and just couldn't wait to introduce her to you..... With an individual and quirky style - Lola's wonderful flowers are quirky, cool and vibrant... perfect for any outdoor wedding. Rather than rambling on, I will let you meet the face behind 'Walnut and Willow'.. over to Lola! My name is Lola Holmes and my company is Walnut & Willow, a flower business specialising in weddings and events. My style is natural and timeless creating subtle statements with an artistic twist. I have been in the Florist industry for the past 4 years after graduating with a Fine Art degree. I have worked in 3 busy florist shops in the North and South of the country which has given me vast experience in every aspect of floristry. I also have a Foundation diploma in Professional Wedding planning & Event management from The Wedding Planner School, London which has given me an insight into all areas of the wedding and event industry. I mainly cover South Wales (from January) however do go further afield if required. I have weddings in Kent and Cirencester next year to give you an example. My boyfriend is a serving member of the British Army and so that massively influences the style of wedding we will have (one day!!) I can imagine having a wedding that is dominated with flowers in any area I could find, although not too over the top. I take a lot of inspiration for my weddings from different eras as I always think although I would want the day to be stunning, I would want to look back at my photographs and for them to look timeless. I love French, rustic mixed with hunter lodge style and so would probably go with this type of theme and not red, white and blue as most people would associate with military weddings. No wedding or event is too big or too small and no idea is too extravagant or too subtle. I love working with brides who have weird and wacky ideas and creating things outside of the box and I love a bride who is daring to be different. Parties and events are amazing to work for as they are normally for celebrations or milestones of someone's life or a company celebrating a number of years in business or celebrating by having Christmas parties. These are great fun to cater for as they normally want some statement flowers which is always amazing to be a part of. All of my work is bespoke to the customers requirements and each wedding or event is unique from the last and so prices are based on individual quotes. I love meeting my clients to get a better picture of who they are and what they are looking for as it helps me build up a greater understanding of their needs. T: 07805 397667
