The Silk Florist is redefining what silk floristry can be…

The Silk Florist is a talented floral designer using exquisite, true to nature faux florals and beautifully detailed foliage of exceptional quality. Our work is inspired by the organic movement of fresh flowers whilst offering the abundance and resilience that modern events demand.

Our ever growing selection of stems are carefully chosen from the finest silk florals available, hand picked for their extraordinary realism and botanical accuracy. This allows us to create designs that feel completely natural, with the softness, texture and depth of a flourishing country garden.

From sculptural installations to abundant floral landscapes, every design is bespoke and thoughtfully composed to complement the atmosphere of your event. Whether working to a precise colour palette, highlighting a favourite bloom or designing immersive florals for a multi day celebration, we create rich and plentiful displays using the highest quality silk flowers.

The result is floristry that is visually breathtaking, logistically versatile and ecologically sustainable.

Kind words

Testimonials

Working with Kerstie was an absolute joy. From our very first conversation, she felt like someone we’d known for years, instantly putting us at ease while bringing exceptional talent and creativity. She made the entire floral design process feel effortless, with elegance in every detail.

We chose her silk flowers for our wedding and they were simply breathtaking, our guests couldn’t believe they weren’t real. Kerstie’s arrangements looked flawlessly beautiful and remained immaculate in the radiant Bordeaux sun from the ceremony until the final dance.

Her work is spectacular and we couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Bride & groom

Kerstie and the team at The Silk Florist France have been wonderful to work with across many weddings. They guide our couples seamlessly from the initial design process through to delivery on the wedding day.

The quality and beauty of the silk florals are exceptional, especially as they remain perfect in any type of heat. Kerstie’s attention to detail is outstanding, and we always feel confident recommending their services.

Luxury destination wedding planner, Chatelaine Events

Kerstie designed, supplied, and installed the floral arrangements for a wedding we hosted at our home last August. The bride chose silk flowers due to the intense August heat in the Charente-Maritime region, ensuring the arrangements remained fresh and beautiful throughout the celebrations without wilting or requiring constant attention.

The bride and I visited the Flower Barn and were absolutely amazed by the breathtaking variety of flowers and foliage on offer. The advice, creativity, and inspiration provided by Kerstie was invaluable. There was never any pressure — just honest, practical, and knowledgeable guidance.

From bridal and bridesmaids’ bouquets to buttonholes, table arrangements, floral arches, and ceremony displays, they brought each design to life with exceptional flair, beauty, and attention to detail. We received countless compliments from both guests and wedding suppliers.

We wholeheartedly recommend Kerstie to anyone looking for exceptional floral design, outstanding service, and remarkable attention to detail. The stunning floral designs were proudly featured on the latest series of Channel 4’s Chateau DIY.
