Claire
Cowling...
With over 20 years’
experience in floral
design...
having created sumptuous wedding flowers
at Suffolk’s most notable wedding venues,
including Hengrave Hall, Blackthorpe Barn
and Ickworth, Claire Cowling at Thrive is an
obvious choice for your flowers. Claire never
fails to surprise and delight with her stunning
work. There is, however, a unique and exciting
new side to Claire’s business…
Last year, Claire opened her new business
premises at a barn conversion in rural Suffolk;
Pakenham to be precise, which has allowed
her a base from which to provide in-depth
consultations with her brides - to make sure
every little detail of their dream wedding
flowers is considered.
The barn has allowed to her expand her
fabulous collection of vases, containers,
candelabras, table runners and a host of other
wedding-based paraphernalia for brides
to buy and hire. There’s even a sweet cart
which can be supplied ready-filled with your
favourite treats, or for you to stock yourself.
It adds a fun element to children’s parties
and even corporate events - there’s an inner
child in all of us!!
The latest addition to Thrive’s collection
is a range of fresh topiary trees. If you’re
going for a rustic and informal, Tuscan style
summer wedding, or perhaps you’re having
a special party this year, standard Olive
topiaries are perfect for the tables or to line
the aisle, with the pots neatly covered in
hessian and finished off with a tulle bow.
So, whether you’re looking for a florist to
create the floral designs of your dreams,
or simply the raw materials to create them
yourself, Thrive is the place to go!
You can find Thrive at 3, Old Hall Barns,
