I launched Watkin & Berry in September 2020 in the middle of the pandemic. Looking back, it was a pretty crazy thing to do but sometimes you have to take a leap of faith & trust in God’s plan for your life.

 

I started my  journey into Floristry when I was just 14 years old. I was a ‘Saturday girl’ at a local florist & this is where I fell in love with floristry. I then went on to university to study for a different career and went back to floristry a few years later. According to research, being a florist is one of the happiest jobs you can have- I can confirm that is true!

 

I trained at Moreton Morell college & gained a distinction qualification in Level 2 & 3 floristry. In 2019 I won a Rose Bowl Award for the standard of my floristry. I always struggle to show off my achievements but I hope this helps to reassure my couples!

 

People often ask me about the name of my business. I am proud to say it’s named after my family. The name was originally inspired by my great grandma,  Jane Watkin, who was a seamstress who set up her business after the war. 'Berry' is another family name & I think it sounds perfect for my brand.

 

 

Since I launched the business, things have grown from strength to strength and we are now on target for a bumper year of weddings. Every time an enquiry comes into my inbox I leap in the air! Running your own business is such a privilege & I love getting to know my couples. If you are looking for a wedding florist that is trustworthy & puts you at ease then look no further! I can’t wait to meet you. ​​
