Nicola from Petals & Posies

Where creativity blooms and every arrangement tells a story

Located in Chandlers Ford, Hampshire, Petals & Posies was founded in 2019 by Nicola, whose lifelong love of flowers and all things beautiful blossomed into a thriving artisan floristry business. After studying at the Covent Garden Flower Academy, Nicola honed her skills and discovered her true vocation as a florist and designer.

What began as a small independent studio has now flourished into a talented team of experienced florists, each sharing Nicola’s passion for creating stunning, bespoke floral designs. Together, we craft beautiful arrangements for weddings, funerals, and special occasions across Hampshire and beyond.

Our philosophy is simple

To create warm welcomes, lasting impressions, and turn dreams into reality with floral artistry that delights the senses. From elegant bouquets to lavish venue installations, every Petals & Posies design is created with care, creativity, and a personal touch.

Meet Nicola

I’ve spent years finding the sweet spot between floral artistry and thoughtful event design. My background in floristry and styling has shaped Petals & Posies into a studio where creativity and emotion meet, and where every detail has purpose.

People often describe me as calm, meticulous, and quietly creative. Whether I’m wiring delicate stems, styling a tablescape, or transforming a venue from the ground up, I bring a steady hand and an instinctive feel for what makes a celebration truly special. My favourite moments are the small ones; placing the final bloom on an archway or lighting the candles on a finished table and knowing the space is ready for your story.

If you feel Petals & Posies might be the right fit for your wedding, I’d love to hear from you.

With love,

Nicola & the Petals & Posies Team
