About Laura Beale

Founder of Fern Cottage Floristry

I have been a Florist for over 20 years; I have worked on many events, weddings, functions and workshops in Sussex, Surrey and London. I previously taught Floristry at Plumpton College, East Sussex for over a decade.

I am passionate about floral design and teaching. I combine my love for the industry and years of experience as a teacher to create, demonstrate, instruct and run workshops on a wonderfully diverse range of floristry themes to suit all abilities and levels.

"From complete beginner to advanced florist, I can help you learn new skills and techniques."


I am based in the idyllic village of Blackboys, East Sussex and have an extensive portfolio of creative work. I am constantly inspired by nature and the changing seasons, I enjoy working where possible with British flowers, embracing the wild countryside around me. Over the years I have created designs for many weddings, special events and photo shoots. I pride myself in working closely with clients to ensure their vision is realised.
