Well hello there!

Hello!

Welcome to my blog.

Here I will post and keep you all up to date on the crazy goings on of the life that is

Amanda Coghill - Creative Freelance Florist.

So to begin with..here's a little bit about me. 

I am a 28 year old Florist, Freelance Florist, Floral Designer, Flower Fairy...what ever it is you would like to call me...but basically flowers are my life and my passion. To date I have won two RHS Chelsea silver medals. Four Bronze awards and a Silver award for The Fusion Flowers International Designer of the year competitions between 2010 and 2013. 

Based in the far north of Scotland in a little town called Wick, in the County of Caithness...one of the most beautiful places on earth..well at least when the sun is shining it is! 

From an early age I've been "playing with pretty flowers" competing in my first flower show at the age of 7. By 13 I had my first Saturday job in a flower shop, at 18 I went to college to train, by 21 I had opened up my own shop Amanda's Creative Florist. For seven and a half years I worked from the shop, until in August 2013 I took the step to close the shop and go freelance. Allowing me to open up many doors of opportunity in the flower world. 

My main passion is bridal work. I absolutely ADORE creating beautiful bouquets for my brides. That hasn't changed with the freelance work. Im already looking forward to creating several amazing designs for my brides to be this year. 

 Me..so you have a face to the typing voice.
