Enrapturing bouquets from Swallows & Damsons

Inspired by gardens and fine art

Anna, founder of Swallows & Damsons, had been working in the world of flowers for a while when she decided to give in to her creative urges. She opened her own flower shop in a neighbourhood full of antique shops and historical sights. Inspired by gardens and fine art, she creates bouquets here that would not look out of place in a gallery.

If you look at  Swallows & Damsons’ Instagram account you will see the love of art burst out of the screen. The lavish profusions of flowers against backgrounds that remind us of classic Dutch scenes resemble painted still-lives. 

Not just for the Queen 

The highlight of Anna’s career so far has been to create a bouquet for the Queen of England. But her creations are not just reserved for royalty. The shop in Sheffield can also provide you with an ‘ordinary’ bouquet or a creation for a special occasion.
