Natasha Bartlett-Twivey – A Fabulous Faux Flower Florist

Natasha Bartlett-Twivey is owner and MD of Ferris Heart Sloane which is a florist business that specialises in artificial flowers.

“If you can imagine it, we can create it in artificial. From bouquets to buttonholes to flower walls and restaurant decoration”

For the majority of her career, Natasha worked in in-house marketing roles and with many well-known brands. She and her husband then decided to buy an artificial flower business as an investment opportunity and as a way to work on around their first daughter and new home.

Now that her daughters are both at school, Natasha has been able to focus on her business and it has gone from strength to strength. Ferris Heart Sloane proudly includes Marks and Spencer and Ralph Lauren in its’ list of customers.

Bloom Up Your Business – How To Dress Up A Shop Front, Bar And Restaurant…

We’re more than sure you’ve noticed the rise in floral displays at restaurants and shops over the past year. We’re also positive this is more than just a phase or trend, as let’s be honest how can pretty flowers beautifying doorways become boring?!

Over the past few months we’ve been lucky enough to work with some fantastic businesses to help elevate their exterior, or interior, with our beautiful floral displays. Our latest project was at the Stag pub in Mentmore. They wanted to spruce up their entranceway with some colour and opted for our beautiful wisteria which we draped lovingly over their classic doorway. This is just a small way that we think makes a huge difference, look for yourself.

Our flowers have also been used to help decorate numerous bridal dress stores to sit alongside their bridal attire and really set the scene.

So how can you use blooms to brighten up your business? If you have a customer facing shop, you can pick from a large variety of our luxury faux flowers, wisteria, or garlands and use them to decorate your shop window and accentuate your products. Or, if you want to vamp up the interior of your restaurant, café or bar, you can try a flower wall (perfect for Instagram shots) or a faux flower arch for your doorway.

Why Celebrity Event Planners Love Flowerwalls

WHY CELEBRITY EVENT PLANNERS LOVE FLOWER WALLS

Celebrity event planner Colin Cowie says: “I’m living for the floral wall”, and having designed a variety of weddings with seven-figure prices he is the expert.

Celebrities adore flowerwalls

Flowerwalls are great for any event and it seems everyone is addicted to them. Alex Gerrard had a flowerwall at her baby shower earlier this year ahead of the birth of her son with footballer Steven Gerrard and even Beyoncé used one to announce her pregnancy with twins. A quick scroll through Instagram will provide a flood of displays and centre pieces. Whether for a wedding, catwalk or birthday, flower walls are adding new heights to the everyday celebration, and we are totally on board.

Since reality royalty Kim and Kanye incorporated one into their wedding day, there has been a surge in them. As a feature for family and friends to pose and take pictures, with flowerwalls you can take the memories home with you. Thanks to Pinterest and a slew of wedding-themed blogs, it’s easy to get carried away but flowerwalls are inexpensive and easy to handle. By bringing the outdoor inside, they can be used for a rustic edge or romantic feel to create the atmosphere you desire. Flowerwalls elevate a room with minimum effort and can add a whole new twist to your event.

Flowerwalls are adaptable

Flowerwalls are a spectacular focal point at any soiree and are perfect displays for indoor events. With so many unique themes and styles, it is easy to choose a design and price tag right for you. Our handmade flowerwalls are all sturdy structures produced by a team of highly skilled UK florists. Each wall is of a high-end quality, ensuring a faultless installation that lasts all day, and night. So you can dance the night away without having to worry about them drooping.

All Ferris Heart Sloane flowerwalls are easy to construct and can be safely secured at your event. They work as stunning backdrops for vow exchanges, displays or photo opportunities. Flower walls have gone from being an option to a necessity if you are wanting to host a party to remember. Both the Diana flower wall and Lottie wall are hand-made in the UK and packed full of bespoke luxury cream, ivory and blush pink foam roses. We offer both ivory and cream meaning that there will be no clash with your wedding dress when posing in front of it. Add a touch of magic with Ferris Heart Sloane this season and create an enchanting flower oasis.
