Flora Staveley

Bespoke Florist

Welcome to Flora Staveley! I offer creative, bespoke floristry services in York and North Yorkshire, to a limited number of clients in their own homes as well as to corporate clients, working with natural flowers and foliage reflective of the season. The focus of my work is to develop partnerships with my clients, building relationships which allow me to be responsive to client requirements and aspirations. Flora Staveley also offers bespoke floristry workshops for corporate and private clients.

About Flora Staveley

Getting to know you...

Understanding and developing the relationship between the joy of flowers and foliage in a relaxed and welcoming home has been my personal passion for years: finding joy in the unexpected, the seasonal and the beautifully imperfect. Creating floral arrangements which bring together the natural environment using seasonal flowers, foliage, seeds and seed heads is my greatest pleasure: the more textural the arrangement, the more seasonal the blooms, the more unique and personal the vessel used- the more I like it!

Flora Staveley is an opportunity to share years of learning, practice and play with flowers and foliage- as well as truly inspirational training at McQueen’s Flower School in London. I seek to share my experience of working with flowers and foliage with both private and corporate clients.

The service I provide to my limited group of clients is not off-the-shelf or likely to be produced specifically for you by a high street florist.
Flora Staveley provides a unique personal service for you, for your home or for your business and the hallmark of this service is creativity and originality.

Floristry in Your Home

Bespoke flowers, designed for you, with you…

 

Beautiful homes which feel alive, feel cherished and create a welcoming environment for home owner and guests alike, always include carefully considered and carefully curated arrangements of flowers and foliage.

Natural spaces for beautiful arrangements are hallways- creating a warm welcome, kitchen islands revealing your kitchen to be the vibrant heart of your home or formal mantelpiece arrangements which blend with the interior, creating a stylish statement which captures the look and feel of your room. A small posy in a guest bedroom, a relaxed foliage arrangement in an office or a pretty table centre-piece all speak volumes about your personal style, creating a mood of natural beauty in your home.

Listening to you, working with you (and where appropriate with your vases and vessels) Flora Staveley provides a bespoke floristry service, inspired by your own distinctive spaces and interpreting your personal style in a creative way which is  unique to you and your home.

 

Corporate Clients

Working in Partnership

Its a pleasure to work with corporate clients, both creatively and practically: by working together we are able to identify requirements and come up with original and beautiful, eye-catching solutions. From restaurants to small corporate events, from interiors projects to promotions projects, Flora Staveley can support and help you to create the look and feel which best reflects your business and its values.

Sue from Flora Staveley was exceptional in her work for our recent Women’s Wealth event. She not only understood the brief perfectly but elevated it with her creative flair and thoughtful suggestions. The floral arrangements on stage were immaculate — beautifully in tune with the season and current trends. They became a real talking point among our guests and added a stunning visual impact to the event. Sue’s professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to bring a vision to life made her a joy to work with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.”

Bespoke Event Floristry

Setting the mood…

 

Small, intimate events at which you wish to share your personal style – at home or at a venue- create a wonderful opportunity to showcase atmospheric floral arrangements. Like music and lighting, your floristry choices set the mood for your event and engage your guests with the environment you have chosen for your celebration or party. Your guests will note your attention to details and your distinctive and unique approach to creating an environment and mood which not only speaks of you and your taste, but embraces your guests.

Paying attention to your thoughts, preferences and to the mood you wish to create, Flora Staveley can create original floral arrangements, crafted for you, to enhance and complete the mood of your special event.

Flora Staveley recently decorated the tables and entrance hall of the beautiful Merchant Taylor’s Hall in York for our birthday celebration dinner, the flowers were absolutely wonderful, exactly what we wanted , simple but with great style and flair.
There were many comments from the guests about how stunning they were, Thank you so much !

Lets talk flowers!

Starting with an informal conversation, we can discuss your thoughts and shape a way in which we can work together, which will be followed up with an overview of your requirements, whatever they may be- for your business, for your home, for your small but special event , for a photoshoot or for a unique gift to a friend or family member.

Flora Staveley is my way of sharing the joy of flowers and foliage with a small group of clients who value personal service, a natural connection with nature and a thoughtful, considered approach to enhancing any event or environment with creative and original floristry in York and North Yorkshire.
