Our Story

A small studio,
a genuine
calling.

Petal & Prose began on a kitchen table — a bucket of dahlias from the farmers market, a pair of scissors, and a feeling that this was exactly what I was meant to be doing. That was four years ago.

Today I work from a small studio on Montevallo Road, sourcing from local growers when the season allows and from trusted importers when it doesn't. Every arrangement is made by my own hands. Every order receives the same attention whether it is a single stem in a bud vase or the flowers for a wedding of two hundred.

I believe flowers are one of the most honest forms of care — chosen for another person, arranged with thought, and given without need for explanation. I take that seriously.

Collections

Every arrangement
tells a quiet story.

Each collection is a loose family of arrangements united by colour, season, or feeling. I work within them but never strictly — every order leaves room for what is most beautiful that day.

Occasions

For every
moment that
deserves flowers.

I work across a wide range of occasions — from an arrangement left quietly on a doorstep to a full wedding installation. Each is given the same care.

Tell me about your occasion
01
Weddings
Bridal bouquets, ceremony florals, table arrangements, and reception flowers. I take a limited number of weddings each year to ensure every one receives full attention.
02
Events & Entertaining
Dinner party centrepieces, luncheons, charitable galas, and intimate celebrations. Arrangements that elevate a table and start conversation.
03
Sympathy & Condolence
Quiet, thoughtful arrangements for times of loss. Handled with gentleness and the understanding that flowers say what words sometimes cannot.
04
Weekly Subscriptions
A standing arrangement delivered to your home or office each week — seasonal, always fresh, never the same twice. A gentle luxury that becomes a ritual.
05
Gifting
For birthdays, anniversaries, new homes, new babies, or simply because. Accompanied by a handwritten note on our studio card — no extra charge.
06
Corporate & Interior
Regular arrangements for offices, reception areas, and private homes. Seasonal, appropriate, and reliably beautiful — delivered and arranged in place.
Now in Season

Spring is here,
and the garden
is generous.

What arrives in the studio each week is guided entirely by the season. Right now we are deep in ranunculus, hellebore, sweet pea, and the first garden roses of the year. It is, without question, my favourite time.

Seasonal working means no two arrangements are ever exactly the same — and that some of the most beautiful flowers available only come around once a year. I always tell clients: order now.

How It Works

Simple, personal,
and unhurried.

Ordering flowers should feel as easy and pleasant as receiving them. Here is how I work — no forms to navigate, no complexity, no surprises.

I
Get in touch
Fill in the order form below, or simply email or call me. Tell me the occasion, your approximate budget, and any colours or flowers you love — or those you'd rather avoid.
II
We'll talk
I respond personally — usually within a few hours. For larger orders we will find a time to speak by phone. I ask questions. I listen. The arrangement begins here.
III
I make it
The morning your arrangement is needed, I go to work. Every stem is chosen that day. Nothing is made in advance. Nothing sits in a cold case for days waiting to be noticed.
IV
It arrives
Delivered by hand within Mountain Brook, or available for collection from the studio. Each arrangement comes wrapped in kraft and ribbon with a handwritten note if you wish.
Kind Words

From people
who have received flowers.

★★★★★

"The arrangement Catherine made for our dinner party was the most remarked-upon thing on the table. Three guests asked for her card before the evening ended. She has a completely different eye to any florist I have used before."

★★★★★

"My bridal bouquet was beyond anything I had shown her in photographs. She listened to what I said — and then went further. I have kept it pressed and framed. She understood the day before I had finished describing it."

★★★★★

"I have a weekly subscription and it is the loveliest small luxury in my life right now. Whatever arrives on my doorstep on Tuesday morning tells me what season we are in. I have learned more about flowers in six months than in the previous forty years."

Place an Order

Every arrangement
begins with a
conversation.

I work with a small number of orders each week to ensure every arrangement receives the time it deserves. Do get in touch early for weddings, events, or large orders.
