Remembering the beautiful and incredible Roberta Flack. First album I ever nicked ( borrowed!) off my folks and squirrelled up to my room for my record player.

Bespoke arrangement I made today designed for a clients living room.

Throwback to this install for the Vaults in Richmond. Using blues, oranges and golds. This stayed up for a couple of years before
we took it all back again and reused it for other projects. Win win for the restaurant in terms of florals that didn't need replacing and win win on sustainability. Fun designing this one! Xx

Bon voyage Eve. Soppy post alert ....😢

I can't do a voice over on this post as I'll get emotional ! Some of you will know that Saturday is my lovely Eve's last day at IB 😞before she heads off around the world on new exciting adventures...
Eve started working with me in July last year and I've absolutely loved having her alongside me. I've gotten probably far too fond of her as an employer because as well as being talented she is an absolutely beautiful human being. 🥰
So when Eve told me in January that her and her boyfriend had decided to take a year out to explore Asia I was selfishly sad and gutted in equal measures ... but then of course also incredibly excited for her. Life is always for grabbing adventure and opportunity while you can. 💥
Eve, THANK YOU for all you have done while you've been here. For putting up with my higgledy brain, jumping on board with all the crazy ideas... never complaining as I sent you up the ladder ... again! The endless sweeping and of course, all the absolutely beautiful floral work you have done.
I'm going to miss you a lot ... but go forth... enjoy the world... make amazing memories ... and be happy 😊.
So so much love you brilliant creative warm hearted being. Have the BEST time ever. xxx

Saturday is Eve's last day before she goes. So pop in and say goodbye if you are local. I will also be looking for part time help... so send me a dm if you are interested and have experience. 💫❤️

🚫 Soy Wax - the sad truth....

While soy is often marketed as a “natural” alternative, most soy wax is:
❌ Linked to deforestation – Industrial soybean farming contributes to massive land clearing.
❌ GMO & pesticide-heavy – Over 90% of soy is genetically modified and heavily sprayed.
❌ Weaker scent throw – It doesn’t hold fragrance as well as coconut wax, leading to a duller scent experience.
❌ Faster burn time – Meaning you go through your candle much quicker.

We believe luxury should be sustainable, which is why we choose coconut wax—it burns longer, cleaner ( producing less soot than soy) , and holds scent beautifully.

🌸 What’s Inside our handmade botanical candles?

💜 Lavender – The ultimate relaxation oil. Known for its calming and sleep-enhancing properties, lavender has been used for centuries to ease stress, anxiety, and tension. It also has natural antibacterial benefits, making it a staple in aromatherapy and holistic wellness.

🌹 Rose Geranium – One of the most luxurious and expensive essential oils, prized for its uplifting floral scent and anti-aging properties—yes, really! Known to support skin health, hormonal balance, and emotional well-being, it’s a botanical powerhouse that smells as beautiful as it feels.

🌿 Clary Sage – Earthy, herbaceous, and deeply grounding. This powerful oil is known for its mood-boosting and hormone-balancing effects, making it perfect for reducing stress, improving focus, and even relieving tension headaches. It’s a must-have for emotional wellness and relaxation.

🔥 Why Our Candles Are Different:

✔ Coconut wax for a slow, clean burn—no toxins, no soot.
✔ 100% pure, high-grade essential oils—no synthetic fragrances, ever.
✔ Sustainable & ethically made, because quality matters.

We are so proud of what we have created. We have also put together some sets (perfect for valentines obvs hint hint) which include mini posies to fill your empty candle jar with and our lolita vase with a beautiful real preserved rose. Last orders online are weds so share to your loved one super speed!! They are available in the studio too! Xxx

For Yvonne Byrne. Thank you to her daughter Wendy for encouraging and allowing me to share this (although memorial flowers are rarely shown on insta). And especially thank you for embracing and celebrating the beauty and meaning that everlasting florals can bring. It was an absolute reminder of my purpose being able to share love and memories through florals.

Here's why I'm so passionate about this.

- Sustainable & Thoughtful Faux and dried and preserved flowers don’t contribute to waste, making them an eco-friendly alternative. They’re a mindful way to honor someone without adding to the cycle of fleeting, disposable tributes.

- Customizable & Personal – Everlasting arrangements can be tailored to reflect the personality, favorite colors, or cherished flowers of the person you’re honoring, creating a truly personal tribute.

- A Comforting Keepsake – Instead of watching flowers wither, family and friends can keep them as a comforting reminder, displayed in their home or at the gravesite for years to come.

-A Lasting Tribute Beyond the Service – The flowers adorning a casket don’t have to be left behind. They can be repurposed into smaller keepsake arrangements for the family, placed at the gravesite as a long-term tribute, or used in memorial displays at home—ensuring their beauty and meaning live on.

In times of loss, beauty that lasts can be a quiet comfort. Everlasting flowers ensure that the tribute to your loved one doesn’t fade with time—because neither does their impact on your life. 💔❤️🌹

- A BETTER ALTERNATIVE TO FRESH IMPORTED RED ROSES FROM US FOR YOU

Imported red roses? Overpriced, bad for the planet, and gone in a week. 🌍✈️💨 They’re drowning in pesticides, waste tons of water, and rack up a massive carbon footprint—all for a bouquet that wilts before the romance does!!

🌹 Preserved Roses = an incredible alternative 🌹

✔ Lasts a YEAR+, not a week
✔ Zero maintenance – no water, no stress
✔ Sustainable & stylish – no guilt, just real natural beauty
✔ Actually worth it – a gift that lasts

Ditch the basic, short-lived blooms. If love is meant to last ... so should your flowers! ❤️

Me with David Lynch - without doubt the person who showed me how art and life are one and the same. Just so immeasurably sad today.

In 1996 I was offered a job as an onset intern and pa in Hollywood on Lost Highway. After filming finished he sugggested I stay on and work through post production - and I ended up living in LA and working alongside him for a year. And of course, it changed my life. His generosity to me as a young person in her mid 20s and what he taught me and shared of his incredible genius was immense. Editing and post production took place in his home in the Hollywood hills and the experience and the bond our small team formed íntense.
Every Friday at the end of the week, I'd head out to buy red wine and cheese and what became known as 'Friday cocktail hour' became a ritual. We'd all of us hunker round the table together in the editing room, sometimes with an incredible last minute guest... Bill Pullman, Marilyn Manson... and stories and art and life were shared.

One cocktail Friday on learning I'd never seen EraserHead in a cinema, he hired the whole Chinese Mann movie theatre and the following week, there our team were sitting next to him watching one of the most undeniably intense and incredible pieces of filmaking of all time. I mean WTAF?
He took me on sound recording walks where we recorded neighbourhood noises through pieces of pipe on a small recording device for Lost Highways sound effects ... and once, when a rattlesnake was found dangerously near the house, he shot it and then had the gardener skin it and present it to me as a souvenir!! I still have it.

I was pursuaded to take on several small extra roles in filming itself - as a waitress ( pic ),police officer, and as the murdering ethereal shadow. My hair clinched that part! Freeze frame and you may spot me.

There are too many incredible pinch me stories to share of my incredible time living and working with David in LA. But of course they are all incidental. Because more than any of these adventures what he taught me was all about the minutiae. How the small moments become art, living within your own altered world (cont in comments )...

Byeeeeee 2024. Some outtakes.... and right at the end some more personal clips of the the most important people in my life.

2024 saw me designing in Paris,
Battersea Power Station, Covent Garden, flowers for film and TV sets - teaching and workshops....
2024 was beautiful but bloody difficult too. Family illness, juggling the absolute constant never stopping that is running your own biz and my own non-stop never ending thinking that is my ADHD brain which sometimes makes life so very bloody challenging - but which also feeds my creativity and ideas and the bonkers visions and ideas for design that happen - very often at 3am!

There's some new things planned for 2025. Some change which is always scary but necessary...

Thank you ...Eve, Izi, Kathy, Geri, Taya, Emma and all the other IB team who have helped me in 2024 ... and most especially of all...YOU lot and all my clients. Flowers and design really are magic. They change lives, they feed and support our souls... they help share happiness, love, memory, loss... and 2025 will definitely have more of that in it. Sharing what I love with you all...

Bring on another year. There will be shit times and wonderful times.... but with each other and a large dollop of flowers we've got this right? Xxx ❤️❤️❤️

A very special wreath delivered last week ...and a very very special model ( my fantabulous dad! ) showing it off for Brinsworth House @royalvarietyperformance which is Dads care home. Obviously this wreath needed to shout entertainment for their front door ...
So what better than the circus?!🌟😉. Absolutely no pun intended as to what goes on behind those doors🤣

Did you see the Royal Variety performance on ITV this weekend? My gorgeous niece Iris presented flowers to the king... And Dad was taken to watch. 🥰

We've been so incredibly lucky with Brinsworth and all they've done for dad through a really rubbish time for him. The Royal Variety charity raises money for all those with a history in the entertainment industry ( both in front of and behind the scenes ) for those in need - both young and old and really does amazing things supporting mental health and other physical health and life issues for those that struggle.

I know this time of year can be difficult for so very many, but I've popped up the charity fundraiser link here and in my bio, because whilst we are able to pay for dads care, we have seen first hand what they do to help others. You can also find their just giving link over in the @royalvarietyperformance bio.

Dad you are looking pretty damn fine here! Love you! Xxxxxx

My Christmas tree at home. Keep watching for lights out! Simple floral gypsophilia tree because honestly I just don't have the time to do anything that takes ages with all the Crimbo shannanigans and designing I have going on for you lovely lot! ❤️.
Sometimes less can be more ( yep I did say that! )and this is such a quick and simple effective trick:

Add your lights first.
Then one x bunch of 25 stems of gyp, there are commonly 2 main varieties - xlence and million star, I've used xlence as it has a larger flower and I find it dries better. Simply cut the stems a little shorter and pushed between the branches - it's very easy and quick!
I then added our 1950s vintage glass baubles because they make me happy- but anything goes.... whites and glass would look super chic, red berry looks brilliant with the whites and greens ... or maximalist crazy mixtures of disco and brights. NO RULES.
Finally a last bunch over the top - think smattering of floral snow softening your baubles etc.
Best bit, after Christmas all the dried gyp can be kept for gorgeous vase arrangements that will last through the year.
Ta dah! Quick incredibly sustainable decor for time poor! But soooo pretty ❤️💫❤️. Loads of love xxxx

Ps. We've bunches like this in the shop right now to buy in person. Not online,

Bannister install designed for @houseofhackney #artemis wallpaper today.
No rules when it comes to christmas. Using upcycled faux and preserved and dried so it lasts for many Christmas' to come. And the client loved it so much we discussed how we can keep it there year round and change it seasonally by exchanging the baubles for other flower etc. Glorious chintzy colour and floral structure to set off House of Hackneys glorious design. 🌸

Grace Kelly - one of our all dried and preserved natural wreaths ... she's most definitely an elegant blonde ( hence her namesake) ... and this design which was created by Eve also emulates angel wings.
She's everlasting of course ( tho will last more years if not let too wet). We've just 2 left! She's online and we've one made up and ready to go in the shop/studio.
We've been so busy with the wreaths. And we are loving all the different vibes and feels you go for! From crazy maximalist animal prints and colour to all natural greens and berry.
We can still do bespoke too...
So if there isn't one of our designs that makes your heart sing and break into Christmas tunes ( but really tho?!), then pop into the shop or send us a message!

Love. Cassandra and team IB xx

Christmas faux florals - that last more than one season.... for next year and next year and next .....

We've been busy making up gifts and bespoke Christmas displays here. When you buy our faux, it's easy to replace the winter stems with other stems for the new year and summer. Not just flowers that are flown fast by plane only to last a week or two at the most. Many of our florals are hand painted - every teeny tiny petal by hand. And some are real touch which means they even feel like the real thing.

We've a bespoke order option online or drop us a message. If you are local, bring us your Christmas vase and let us style it for you. Or choose one of ours. Better for your pocket, better for our planet 🌎 xxxx

This happened!!

15 years ago, in a meeting room, I sat with Producer @carolinenorris, series director Dom Brigstock and director Chloe Thomas laughing very hard as we auditioned for the very first series of Horrible Histories from a short list of actors and comedians I had brought in to meet them all. I cast the next 5 series. Today HH is on series 11!!

On Friday, Bafta awarded us its highest special award - and the most lovely reunion was had with some very extraordinary and talented people...and I felt just ENORMOUSLY proud to hold that HEAVY statue!

Pic 3 last night by incredible Historian @greg_jenner - (hope that's ok Greg) of some of our amazing original cast, Matt Baynton, Simon Farnaby and Jim Howick.
Pic 4 is a very small excerpt of one of the scripts we sent out for the actors to prep.

I still have all the casting notes from the sessions and a lot of emails back and forth with agents telling them that this kids show would change lives and television and make careers and they should absolutely let their clients audition ( there was a definite awful snobbism against kids tv with agents sadly - don't do the job any more so can say what I like!! Tho won't divulge the ones who refused and missed out 🌟😳) and this weekend has been a nostalgic remembering of a brilliant time.

As I talked to everyone and caught up, it also affirmed to me just how enormously happy I am doing what I do now with flowers. I did not know my ADHD diagnosis back then and I really struggled.

Many told me my career change was crazy, You cast HH for fecks sake, I was doing ok... but as I worked with florals, I began to realise the strangest connect and calm, the design process naturally fed my dopamine cravings - and I believe now that scary career leap and flowers may have quite literally saved me - from all sorts! 🤣

@carolinenorris, a special hug for you as a totally brilliant and gorgeous being - whom I suspect recognised that in me - and many years later asked me to design her wedding florals and just recently a prime tv series...

The most wonderful night ... and a testament too that change is never too late and can be absolutely OK ❤️Thank you BAFTA and HH! X
