Why I do what I do: Shane Connolly & Co florists

 

Shane Connolly & Company  fashion the most exquisite events. Shane trained as a florist and buys from New Covent Garden Flower Market.

British Flowers Week, the ground-breaking annual campaign to promote British flowers and foliage, runs from Monday 15 June to Friday 19 June 2015 and this year British Flowers Week has a new  virtual home at britishflowersweek.com.

Shane Connolly & Company constantly strive to use sustainable, seasonal, ethically sourced flowers and even grow plants whenever possible.

They meet their clients in person, explore thoughts and ideas together and then devise one-off, bespoke creations each and every time.

 

Why I do what I do: Watch the video!

I do what I do because I still wake up every day keen to go to work.

Where I do it

In our beautiful studio and offices in London, W10.

 What drives me on

Pleasing people. I still love to really delight clients and have them come back to us time and time again. Also the changing seasons are total stimulus as the palette of flowers changes with every week and re-sparks the creativity.

What I am working on

Well I’m very excited about working on my next book for a start! And a wonderful co-curated evening in the Queen’s Gallery for the exhibition ‘Painting Paradise’ where I’m talking about the meaning and symbolism of flowers in some of the paintings and object d’art.
