Wild floristry

Join me on my journey to provide truly beautiful, memorable and natural flower tributes that are inspired by my deep connection with nature and the New Forest's wild heritage.

Dried Floral Pet Tributes

A dried ‘everlasting’ flower tribute is an endearing and treasured farewell for your pet. Inspired by the New Forest’s beautiful landscapes, choose a setting that is associated with special memories and times shared with your pet. I then carefully choose dried flowers and seasonal botanicals to create a truly special and personalised memorial for you.

Designs are made to securely fit with and decorate a range of crematorium scatter tubes, bamboo pouches, caskets, and urns for your pet ashes. Flowers are a beautiful addition and celebration of a beloved pet, and dried flowers can last for many years and continue to give great comfort.

Designs available: 

New Forest themes: Oak and beech woodlands, heathland and coastal landscapes.

Seasonal choices: For example, summer heathland to include the pink and purple tones of heather flowers and yellow flowering gorse; or autumn woodland with colours that echo fallen leaves, dried bracken and red berries.

I use dried flowers and foliage, sourced and grown locally where possible, or foraged sustainably, and use free-from plastic, recyclable and compostable alternatives to many of the methods and materials used in floral designs.

Designs are suitable for small animal cremations such as dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pig, and also larger designs for horse caskets.

Dried flower care

Dried flowers can last for years with a little bit of love and care


Avoid direct sunlight: Prevents fading and brittleness
Keep away from humidity: Stops mould growth and damage
No watering: Water can cause mould and ruin the flowers
Dust gently: Use a soft brush to remove dust or a hairdryer on the lowest and coldest setting
Careful placement: Keep away from heat sources and areas where easily knocked

There will be differences between flowers as they dry and take on their special and unique colouring.
