Luxury formal living room with floral arrangement

The Studio · Est. 2016

Bloom began with one bench and a market run

Elsa Mercer trained at the Chelsea Physic Garden before opening Bloom's first studio in a Hackney railway arch in 2016. In 2020 the studio moved to its current north-light home in Marylebone, where a team of four now design every commission by hand.

Our Philosophy

Seasonal, local where we can, and never a scrap of foam

We buy what is at its best each morning, not what a catalogue dictates. Wherever the season allows we source from British growers, and we have worked entirely foam-free since day one — every arrangement is built with reusable mechanics, moss and wire. Beautiful flowers should never cost the earth they came from.

Each with a specialty, all of us at the market by six.
