The everlasting enchantment of flowers

  • • Layla creates floral sculptures with dried flowers
  • • Her natural creations last for many years
  • • Contrasts are key to her creative style

Layla Robinson’s passion for flowers dates back to her childhood. That is why, after studying horticulture and garden design, she planted her own flower garden and became a sustainable florist. After a few years, she realised that what she loved the most was the winter work, where she could take her time creating from foraged twigs, berries and dried flowers, that she had cut, dried and stored throughout summer and autumn. The spark for Layla to transition towards this craft was a winter wedding for which she prepared the flowers. “I made a large birch heart flower wreath and an arch over the door of the tiny chapel, as well as bridal bouquets that were twiggy, wild and natural,” she recalls. “The bride still owns the heart wreath over ten years later!” Layla enjoyed that project so much, that she soon decided to focus solely on everlasting flowers.
