Hi, I’m Rosie, the owner and "Floral Faffer" behind Roses + Riffraff, a wedding and event florist based in the beautiful areas of Farnham and Guildford. After a number of years working as a chartered accountant, I began to pursue my need for creativity alongside my love of flowers. While numbers and spreadsheets are still a love, I needed to have a little corner for flowers and creativity.
After years of nurturing this passion through workshops and hands-on experience crafting arrangements, bouquets, and Christmas wreaths, I decided it was time to embrace floristry. In 2023, I completed the Professional Floristry Career Course at The Bath Flower School, which gave me the knowledge and confidence to officially launch Roses + Riffraff. Since then, I’ve continued my education by attending additional floristry courses to expand my skill set and deepen my floral expertise.
At Roses + Riffraff, my floristry style is rooted in a natural, informal aesthetic with a focus on romantic blooms that bring a touch of timeless elegance to weddings and events. I love working with flowers that feel relaxed yet refined, and every arrangement I create is carefully designed to reflect the unique personality of our couples.
I invite you to explore my latest creations on my Instagram page or take a look at my portfolio to see previous pieces I have created.
Sustainability is close to my heart. I am committed to being as eco-friendly as possible by working with British flowers whenever I can to reduce environmental impact, being floral foam free, and minimizing single-use plastics. You can read more about my sustainable practices on my blog and here on the website.
Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to creating beautiful florals for your special day!
