Listen Later

Shane Connolly is a master of many arts, and one that he exhibits throughout the year is how to use sustainable floristry to create a sense of charm often reserved for the tiniest of tables.

That’s why he’s in such high demand - we talk through his exciting, varied year of arranging in this week’s podcast, with a look at the festive season, and a few tips to serve your own arranging in the festive season, taking inspiration from Shane’s wondrous wedding displays.

In this episode, discover:

  • How Shane approaches weddings, intimate dinners, grand public events and royal occasions
  • Why he favours seasonal, British-grown flowers and how he builds close relationships with growers and suppliers
  • The behind-the-scenes logistics of big museum dinners and public events, from long tables to thousands of tiny vases and candles
  • How Shane creates sustainable, glitter-free Christmas magic, including his Marie Antoinette-inspired V&A tree and reusable decorations
