MEET SABINE

Sabine Darrall

 

 

It’s the dynamism of the floristry world that is so fascinating to me. Nothing about it is static. I love working with beautiful, living materials, having to stay on my toes to move with the seasons, and constantly being challenged by the need for new and innovative ways with colour, texture and fragrance.

Working with flowers is a huge part of who I am. In the last 30 years, I’ve worked in every part of this industry, and I think the fact that I’m still head over heels for flowers shows just how powerfully creative, inspiring and special an industry it is.

A force for Change

As a luxury wedding and events florist, and a dedicated teacher and mentor, it’s my ambition to make sure that as an industry we’re moving in the right direction. I focus on sustainable floristry – working hard to create installations and designs that are fair trade and foam free. But being eco-conscious doesn’t mean scrimping on style, scale or imagination.

Whether I’m designing or teaching, getting the chance to meet with so many wonderful people from all walks of life, and helping their ideas and their visions to blossom into stunning floral displays is something I care about very deeply. No matter the way in which we might be working together, I use my experience and passion to guide with no judgement, and to guarantee a calm, inspiring and empowering experience for everyone who sets foot in my studio.

After years spent in the buzz of London, you can now find me among the deep greens of Herefordshire, where I’m surrounded by birdsong, home grown organic flowers, and apple trees in the sprawling orchard. I love welcoming wedding couples and workshop students to my beautiful purpose-built barn, where the floral magic happens. Let’s create something wonderful together.

WEDDING & EVENT FLORISTS!

When it comes to event floristry, the truth is… most of the best advice isn’t written down anywhere.”
 The real, practical information is hard to come by, and a lot is learnt through costly mistakes and trial and error.

That’s why I’ve poured over 40 years of knowledge, experience, and problem-solving into one complete resource for event florists.

Sleepless nights before a big wedding or event?
Worrying if you’ve ordered enough flowers?
Panicking about how you’ll hang that suspended installation safely?
Or maybe it’s the endless logistics — timelines, installations, working onsite,vans, packing, unloading — that keep you up at night?

My new workbook 
The Professional Event Florist is your behind-the-scenes manual for running successful events — with more confidence and less stress.
Heres a glimpse of just some of the areas covered … 

✅ How to conduct site visits and spot potential problems before they happen
✅ What to ask (and avoid) when working with planners and co-ordinators
✅ Exactly how to plan, install, and secure suspended floral designs safely
✅ How to use CAD plans and work with historic venues, marquees, and private estates
✅ The best ways to plan logistics, pack vans, and transport flowers without damage
✅ How to build a reliable freelance team
✅ Risk assessments, insurance, and health & safety without the jargon

Bonus
You’ll also get my personal, trusted supplier lists — the kind of resources florists guard like gold. From my go-to wholesalers and British growers to prop hire contacts, sundries, and the essential kit I never go on-site without.

Why You Need It
Whether you’re a new florist stepping into the world of events or an experienced designer ready to make things run smoother and more profitable, this workbook gives you the knowledge and insider tips that no one else will tell you.

ITS HERE! 
A few months ago I set out to write a mini guide and it turned into a full on workbook! Every time I thought I’d finished it I remembered another golden nugget that needed to be included! The result is a work book filled with knowledge, tips, contacts, products and all the things that people don’t always want to tell you! 

This is the guide I wish I’d had when I started. It brings together all the practical knowledge and experience I’ve gathered over a lifetime in flowers . I hope it will help you plan and deliver events with confidence and professionalism.

Heres a glimpse of what’s inside : 

How to create accurate flower orders

Working successfully with planners and other professionals

Conducting site visits and managing timelines

Working in Marquees 

Planning for large-scale logistics and working at height

Organisation 

Time saving tips 

CAD plans and interior details 

Health and safety essentials

Logistics and transportation

Products and tools 

Sustainable mechanics

Processing and conditioning

Timelines

Working with team

and MORE!

ALSO INCLUDED:

My trusted supplier & wholesaler list—with links - worth the cost of the workbook on its own. 
The Professional Event Florist workbook is packed with industry knowledge -  No fluff — just the stuff most people don’t talk about, but really should.
Priced at just £97

I’ve been a big fan of  @marginpar Amazing® Sevillia for a while now — it’s not only beautiful it’s really robust , so perfect for wedding work.
So it was an obvious choice for a mono design for my Bouquet Masterclass series — 
I love working with the varieties from Marginpar not only because they’re beautiful and reliable, but because of how they are grown. Marginpar follow the Japanese Kaisen method, focusing on respect, collaboration and ongoing improvement — making a real difference in the communities they’re based in.
95% of their flowers are sustainably produced, and they’re aiming for 100%. 

A little footnote:
There’s often a lot of discussion around imported flowers and sustainability — and it’s important to ask questions.  It’s also important to look at the full story. When you choose your suppliers carefully and buy from ethical growers you’re not only supporting sustainable practices — you’re supporting communities in countries where floriculture is a vital part of people’s livelihoods.
Many of these regions depend on our industry, and the impact of our choices can be hugely positive when we choose well. It’s worth taking the time to understand the facts — and the difference it really makes.
