About

A FAMILY BUSINESS

 

Aesme Studio was founded in 2015 by sisters Ally and Jess. We are passionate about sharing the meditative process of arranging flowers, the transformative power of plants and the joy they bring. As a pair we work collaboratively on event designs, as well as teaching studio workshops and writing, photographing and filming our extensive online learning resources.

 

Flowers help us to reconnect with nature and enjoy a fleeting moment of beauty in a busy world

 

—  ALLY  —
My hobby of arranging flowers set us on the path to where we are today. Years later, I still cannot imagine anything I would rather do - to create space in a busy day or find a moment of calm - than make an arrangement of flowers.

—  JESS  —
I love that our work has introduced me to the world of plants. Growing our own materials, watching the seasons change in the garden, having our hands regularly in the soil - all of this is integral to the work we create in the studio.

GARDENER-FLORISTS

 

In 2016 we started growing flowers on a small plot of land in the Hampshire countryside, gradually expanding this to a beautiful and bountiful cutting garden of flowers, shrubs and vegetables. Wonderfully “wonky” produce harvested from the garden allows us to create arrangements completely in tune with the seasons. Our studio is in a converted Victorian railway arch in Shepherd’s Bush, West London where we design for events and teach flower arranging workshops.
