Hello I’m Kirsten and I founded Queen of the Meadow Flowers after retraining as a florist at the Tallulah Rose Flower School. I wanted to offer an alternative to the traditional flowers sold on the high street and showcase British and seasonal flowers in bespoke arrangements. I offer beautiful floral designs for all occasions, working with any budget.

My studio is based in rural Neath on a working farm, where my cutting garden can be found along with an abundance of wild flora and foliage which I like to include in my work.

I take my inspiration from my surroundings and look to the past for influence. I create natural, winsome and romantic flowers using only the finest blooms from British growers, my own cutting garden and flower markets. My designs provide a connection for my clients to the natural world and provide seasonal staging and beauty.

I work with local growers, as well as using some of my own home grown flowers, to ensure that the freshest blooms and most organic forms are used. Working with British growers where possible in my work ensures that less air miles are used, it supports the British growing industry and uses flowers that have not been subjected to pesticides. I like to use traditional methods of flower arranging rather than using floral foam and plastics. I do not use cellophane in my work, replacing this with re-useable and recyclable materials instead.

“We really wanted British flowers so we went with the hugely talented florist Queen of the Meadow Flowers. She understood I wanted to contribute and included flowers and foliage from my garden in her designs. She gave lots of advice and provided a wonderful service and wonderful flowers.”
