Wild beauty: Charlotte Puxley’s bohemian bouquets are out of this world.
Charlotte Puxley
You may have seen our sister site Honeycombers rave about Charlotte Puxley, who’s brought her signature boho bunches from London to Tiong Bahru – ahem, she was part of the team that created Kate Moss’ wedding bouquet! Think English countryside meets the tropics: large blooms, lots of colour, lush foliage and wild beauty. Drop into her Tiong Bahru studio and you’re also likely to walk out with the loveliest vase you’ve seen from her little collection. And check out her video tutorial on HoneyBrides to see her whip up a beautiful bohemian English-style bouquet. Can’t get enough of her bouquets? Sign up for a brand new subscription service and look forward to fresh flowers as often as you want (erm, every week please…).
