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.

Want To Add Some Sparkle To Your Party Or Event

Want to add some sparkle to your party or event?

Ferris Heart Sloane love creating high impact floral and botanical walls and have worked with leading brands including John Lewis and Ralph Lauren.

We’re always looking to innovate with what we can offer our clients so we’ve introduced a range of sequin walls into our hire range.

Available in seven different colours, we typically get asked for 2m by 3m walls but can cater for any size you require for your event, party or for a permanent installation inside your venue or business.

PRETTY AND EYE CATCHING SILK FLOWER BOUQUET AND STYLING IDEAS

Flowers are an integral part of any wedding day, bringing the outside in and traditionally used in ancient Rome to signify new beginnings, fidelity and hope of fertility. Although fresh flowers tend to be a go to for the big day, faux flowers have increased and are continuing to increase in popularity. Wonderful silk flower bouquet and centrepieces that you can keep forever or have re-designed into a display for your home.

Here we chat with Ferris Heart Sloane about five faux wedding flower ideas for your big day, helping to set the tone and add personality to your wedding.

“Setting the scene for your big day can be quite the journey. On the first hand you want the décor to be individual to you and your theme, however you also want to ensure you don’t go over the top and go bloomin’ crazy. With that in mind, we thought we’d put together some floral display ideas that could suit your big day. You’re welcome…”

Flowerwall

“Flowerwalls are great for you and your guests. Not only are they ridiculously pretty, they make the perfect entrance enhancer and photographic background for your wedding photos. Available in an array of different variations to suit you and your theme, our faux flowerwalls are put together by hand and will really make a statement.
However, if you want to tone down the rest of the blooms, we would recommend complimenting your flowerwall by having small and subtle centrepieces on your tables.”

Eucalyptus Garlands

“Eucalyptus garlands. There’s just no end to their use. To be more wedding specific, we would use a Eucalyptus Garland to adorn the doors of your venue, your wedding transport (think VW Van, taxi, wedding busses, Rolls Royce) your tables and even a staircase (if there is one at your venue).
You can also use garlands to decorate a chuppah (if you’re having a Jewish wedding) or an archway if you’re having an outdoor wedding. See what we mean – the possibilities are endless and remember, faux garlands last forever so you can take them home after and use to decorate your home!”

Wisteria

Falling elegantly from the ceiling, draped lovingly around an arch, hanging beautifully over a door frame – are just a few of the ways you can use wisteria for your day. Perfect if you’re having an ethereal wedding and don’t want to make too much of a statement with your blooms, wisteria is the ideal go-to.
Wisteria is also perfect if you’re getting married outdoors and want to fill out the existing booms of the garden, or wherever you are!

Wild flowers

Looking for something a bit different? Wild flowers are a great way to break away from the norm – plus, they look great! They’ll also add a bit of texture to your table and could be a good contrast from traditional settings. Faux wild flowers can also be re-used for other events, or used at home to add some colour to your interiors.
Go on, go wild!

Potted Succulents

Whether you’re going for a western themed wedding or not, potted succulents are great if you’re going for the minimalistic vibe. Simple and easy to add to each table, potted succulents are ideal if you want to bring the outdoors in and re-use for your home interiors after. They also make great wedding favours too!

Take a look at Ferris Heart Sloane and their amazing creations to see how they can help you on your big day!

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.
