Jacqueline Owen, alias Jacqui O, is an award-winning floral designer from Cheshire, UK. She says about herself:

"I was always creative as a child,  I was often found sitting in a field sketching flowers and nature on the family farm in the Shropshire countryside. I was mesmerized by the beautiful blooms capturing their individuality through the season. Following my heart led me to achieve a 1st Class Honours in Surface Pattern Design at University, followed by a successful career as a Visual Merchandising Manager at John Lewis. As a manager, I missed being creative so I began a professional course in floristry and I loved it!

In 2013 I founded the luxury floral design business Jacqui O. I replaced meetings with flowers, I wanted to be surrounded by nature once again. My passion lies in the skilled art of showcasing some of the most beautiful gifts of nature, appreciated by those who see them not only for their beauty but also their power to evoke emotion for a special occasion.

I specialize in bespoke wedding and celebration florals, with a focus on weddings because I love weddings. I really do! The first wedding I ever planned, designed, and created was for my sister and it was so special! My late grandad and I often laughed at the amount of jobs I had before finding my true calling, floristry is much like farming it's a way of life, and I love it! As Claude Monet once said: "‘I must have flowers, always, and always."
