THE WEDDING INDUSTRY AWARDS 2026
(TWIA)

Wow what a night that was… I can’t believe I actually won!

So on Tuesday night I nervously got glammed up to go the the prestigious Twia Awards. I was going there actually hoping in some ways that my name wasn’t called as the thought of having to get up in front of everyone was making me feel quite overwhelmed. Its mad really as I speak with people every single day but the light shining on me?, nooo thanks, that makes me nervous haha. I genuinely would of been happy to spend the evening congratulating everyone else that were called as winners and highly commended. The other fabulous florists in my category are so super talented I really went with no expectations at all.

Then the most amazing thing happened….Taylor Made Blooms was called out, I couldn’t believe it, wow, really, how the heck did that happen? It was all of a bit of a whirlwind and there I was being handed a trophy! Was I dreaming? There’s always an element of Imposter sydrome at the best of times, doubting myself, but here I was celebrating my little business. I will never forget that moment.

What makes these awards special for me and why I think they are the best in the industry, is that no matter if you do 10 or 100 weddings a year, the fact that we are judged by industry experts and more importantly what our couples say about us really cements recognition for all our efforts and hard work. Thank you so much to everyone who judged Taylor Made Blooms, and to everyone at TWIA. I had the best night and I can’t thank all my couples enough for taking the time to vote for me, winning North West Florist of the Year on our 10 year anniversary is just the most amazing way to celebrate a decade of doing what I love the most. Thank you to each and everyone of you who have supported my small business, and trusted me to bring your floral vision to life on the biggest day of your life, I really do have the best clients. I never take it for granted and I know that every small buisness could face it all coming to an end tomorrow. I hope im around for another decade making your floral dreams come true!!

The National Finals take place in January 2026 in Liverpool, I’m so very excited!
