about
BareBlooms
BareBlooms is Chloe Plester
A background in gardening, along with living in the middle of nowhere means I am steeped in using what is seasonal and available around me, not just in the garden but in the surrounding British countryside, hedgerows, meadows, woodland, even good old municipal planting! Taking nature as my inspiration expect something a little wild and woolly around the edges, never too ‘done’ always relaxed and gentle on the eye. Conformity and tight bouquet balls of imported Roses are not welcome here. If that is your thing I am probably not the lady for you.
Weddings are my speciality and if you would love to embrace British, Seasonal and Homegrown and you like what you see in my portfolio then drop me a line via my contacts page. I only take on a very limited amount of weddings a year. I do not do packages your wedding is treated as a bespoke individual. I have no minimum spend so however small and intimate or grand and opulent your plans I would love to hear them.
It’s not all weddings, weddings, weddings though, I am here to service all your floral requirements, big and small.
Weddings
Weddings are a speciality. Let the pretty pictures do the talking on my portfolio page and listen to what my past couples have to say on my testimonial page. No minimum spend. No package deals, just a unique, bespoke wedding tailored to you.
Gardening
Need some help telling your weeds from the flowers? On a regular or one off basis? "Chloe was an enormous help in the borders as she knew exactly what plant was what. She was full of knowledge and a pleasure to have on the team" - Bridget Elworthy, Wardington Manor
Special Occasion
Mothers Day, Birthdays, Just Because? Let the British flowers work their magic. I can deliver British bouquets locally around Banbury, Brackley, Towcester, Buckingham, Daventry, Bicester, etc. I do not courier bouquets by post.
Workshops
I run workshops throughout the year, always using what is in season. Keep an eye on my blog/newsletter/social media for up to date workshop availability. I also put on small private workshops at my home so if you fancy a hands on Hen Party/Birthday Party/Get together get in touch. For larger parties (over 7) I can come to you with my British Blooms and expertise.
Sympathy
It is always a special honour to provide Seasonal, British blooms as a special farewell. I can also make sure they are foam free and therefore biodegradable.
Styling
Photo shoot, Film, TV, Party, etc, British seasonal blooms may just be that finishing touch you need.
Family and Maternity shoots
I love working with my Photographer friend Hannah of All of My Days Photography on family and maternity shoots. Add a touch of seasonality with some floral/foliage accessories from BareBlooms. Click on the photo to be directed to Hannahs website to enquire about booking her.
