Sophie Cullumbine t/a Sophie's Flower Company

I’m Sophie, the floral fiddler, who set up Sophie’s Flower Company in 2011. Cripes that’s ten years ago… now I’m also Mother to Otto and lockdown baby Beatrix, somewhat feral children who thrive on being outside, and Wife to my other favourite human Richard. We live on top of a hill in the middle of nowhere. We have a geriatric spaniel, a Cat called Meow Meow Meow Meow, a puppy called Squirrel and 6 chickens.

Over the last 10 years, we have established a strong reputation for breathtaking floral design, we’ve won several awards along the way too. Our fabulous team includes our manager Charlotte, who studied Theatre Design, loves a spot of DIY, and can knock out a knock out Urn in no time! We also have Katy Rose, who nose is always in the mud so to speak, she’s our green fingered girl.

My passion is the foam free big stuff! I love the logistics of large scale floristry and all the problem solving that runs along side the creativity. I adore pulling together colour palettes, mixing textures and curating fabulous Bridal bouquets. Each one tells a story of the Bride, perfectly unique.

We moved to a farm based location in 2018, where we have begun growing our own stuff, let’s see how that goes! We utilise own local growers wherever we can. We try to use recyclable wrapping, or recycled materials such as newspaper or reclaimed lace wherever possible, we are almost entirely foam free now, we compost all our green waste on the farm and have even discovered a plant based cellophane!
