It’s hard to believe that the ubiquitous London florist, Grace & Thorn, has only been going for 5 years. From founder Nik Southern’s fledging days, touting her wares around east-end pubs, the florists has grown to a portfolio of 3 London stores, weddings every weekend and a full-to-bursting little black book of discerning clients who have all fallen for G&T’s self-proclaimed “wonky” arrangements.
“We break the rules. Everyone else will do it straight, we’ll do it wonky! I named my company after a rose because I loved the duality, it’s graceful but it has thorns that say, “don’t mess with me”. This is true for the business too. It’s not just about creating a beautiful bouquets, you need the edge that draws your eyes to it.”, explains Nik. They certainly do that.
Whether you’re a longterm fan or a new admirer, you’ll want to book onto their Wreath Making Workshop at Platform on Wednesday 7 December. Think lots and lots of over the top foliage, wild berries, thistles and dried hydrangea. All materials are supplied (as well as mince pies!) and you can be sure that this Christmas yours will be the best dressed door on the street.
