Floral design with an artistic approach

Nicky Doodson is a floral designer specialising in weddings, events and creative installations with more than 25 years of experience.

Based in Stroud, Gloucestershire, Nicky works throughout the Cotswolds and across the UK, including London, Oxfordshire and Bath, creating distinctive floral environments shaped by the people, place and season at the heart of each project.

With a degree in three dimensional craft and sculpture, her work brings together artistic instinct, colour, texture and form with the technical knowledge and practical experience needed to bring ambitious ideas beautifully to life.

Weddings

From intimate ceremonies to large-scale celebrations, Nicky creates wedding flowers that feel personal, expressive and entirely connected to the setting and season.

Working throughout the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, London and across the UK, her designs range from bouquets and ceremony flowers to tablescapes and immersive floral installations.

Every wedding is approached individually, combining season, colour, form and atmosphere to create abundant flowers that feel considered.

Events & creative projects

From private dinners, parties and launches to brand commissions, editorial shoots and large-scale installations, Nicky works with flowers as part of the wider atmosphere of a space.

She collaborates with private clients, venues, planners, brands and cultural organisations, creating sculptural tablescapes, event florals, installations and work for editorial and creative projects.

Her background in sculpture naturally lends itself to briefs that call for something less conventional, while decades of practical hands-on experience ensure ambitious ideas are planned, installed and delivered meticulously.
