I've made it my mission this week to not really at

I've made it my mission this week to not really attempt to work whilst being in charge of my girls. The combination is stressful and no-one wins. So the NEW plan is that I've got concept sketches and line drawings (no colour) signed off by x4 clients, and then a couple of customers happy not to expect anything from me for a fortnight. ⁠
⁠
Then from Friday afternoon 'til Monday evening, I'll be non-stop colouring. There's only one illustration I will be allowed to share with you for now, so I may slip under the radar for a few days from Instagramland. ⁠
⁠
Potentially dipping out while I head into a working weekend, with big loving wishes and a reminder to clap for our carer at 8pm. xxx⁠

I've taken so many new bookings in the last 10 day

I've taken so many new bookings in the last 10 days, this afternoon I had to make a spreadsheet. I'm generally a paper diary kind of girl, but this flurry calls for a list ordered by anniversary dates and deadlines.

Is it a sign we are emerging? That the clouds are lifting?
I'm not sure, but I'm so grateful.
Please note - I am currently not using Royal Mail Special Delivery as I've had very slow wait times on personal post. If you are working to a specific date like an anniversary, please let me know asap. We have private courier options. For non-urgent illustrations, I'm drawing now and sending to my customers when normal service resumes, all in conversation with each customer. 😚

Hands up if you are also the one at the back. ⁠

Perfect moments, messy days, good intentions, bad

Perfect moments, messy days, good intentions, bad habits, beautiful bookings, loyal clients, fabulous friends, forgotten make-up, new bookings, soft waists, missed opportunities, time passing, belly laughs.
Who's feeling a bit Coronaed today?
The photo was taken a few days ago, but the vibe is very much the same today.
Peace and peonies, Charlotte x

Hello and big warm welcome to people who have foun

Hello and big warm welcome to people who have found me recently. ⁠
⁠
Many of us woke up today not knowing if we were coming or going, but I'm glad that right here, right now, you are peeping into my portfolio of illustrations and inspirations.⁠
⁠
I'm Charlotte, botanical illustrator, founder of the Wedding Bouquet Illustration Service, and generally up for drawing all things with flowers, foliage and feathers. ⁠
⁠
I also curate lively blog - loosely themed on floral dreams and creative living - where I showcase many of my favourite floristry friends. There are also posts about slow, creative living, and how I integrate my analogue soul into fast-paced family life in London. ⁠
⁠
My former 12-year career as a high fashion publicist creeps in here and there, and you'll probably notice a mishmash of culture references that inspire my work and home life. ⁠
⁠
Welcome, I'm so glad you're here (oh and if you are about to watch Grayson Perry please shout so we can DM 😊).⁠

If you've just watched BoJo and now are in need of

If you've just watched BoJo and now are in need of a minute's zone-out, may I suggest a time-lapse?
I know you guys love these - my customers now request them of their own illustrations in progress 😚 - but I didn't know some many of you found them thereuptic.
Deep breaths. We got this, with immense gratitude to all our keyworkers.
Original bouquet design by glam and glorious @amieboneflowers
