Dot & Flora is a specialist floral studio dedicated exclusively to the beauty of dried and preserved flowers, based in Manchester, UK.
I'm Steph - the main lady behind the flowers! I started the business in 2022 after working as a creative in the retail industry for over a decade. I have always had a huge passion for crafting and working with my hands, and after deciding I wanted to venture into something new, I started to explore floristry. Suddenly things clicked and the business grew from there!
I started making and selling products at markets, online and in stores across the North West, but since welcoming my baby in 2024, my creative journey has taken a beautiful turn. My time is now focused on hosting workshops and designing wedding flowers for lovely couples.
I launched my workshops to bring people together, foster connection, and share the mindful art of dried floristry. Dried flowers bring a timeless elegance that lasts for years, and I love helping others slow down, get creative, and make something beautiful to keep.
Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned crafter, my workshops are relaxed, welcoming, and designed to inspire. I keep the spaces limited so that I am able to spend time with each of you, helping bring out your creativity to make something that captures your personality.
