Hello there! I’m Nicola Hosier, owner of Flora Special Occasion (FSO Events for short!). Thank you for visiting my website, here is a little bit about me…
I have been in the industry since 2009, after qualifying as a florist and balloon decorator. I promptly started up my own business and haven’t looked back. My studio is based in Wooburn Moor, High Wycombe on a lovely farm. This is where I produce all my bespoke floral and balloon designs for weddings, special events and corporate functions.
My love of design started when I attended Art & Fashion college. This is where I honed my skills and passion for all things beautiful, before eventually branching out into floristry and balloon artistry. I attended Hillingdon adult education college where I gained my National Diploma in Floristry. Following this, I worked in my tutor’s florist shop in Hayes for a year.
Although it’s been a long journey getting to where I am now, I have loved and continue to love every second of my ‘not so ordinary’ job. From meeting excited couples talking about their wedding flowers, to having fun decorating balloons for a child’s birthday party. I wouldn’t change any of it.
I continue to learn new trends and skills by attending regular professional trade courses. Also, by constantly researching and having an active interest in floral and balloon design.
You can follow my progress by visiting my Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages.
