“Once upon a time, when women were birds, there was the simple understanding that to sing at dawn and to sing at dusk was to heal the world through joy.” -Terry Tempest Williams

Hello! I’m Sarah, the heart and hands behind Sarah Breese Design. Nestled in the beautiful landscapes of southern Snowdonia, my work is a love letter to the natural world.

I have a background in fine art and feel most at peace when I'm lost in the creative flow. When we left London in 2018 to move into an old (small!) farmhouse with half an acre of overgrown gardens, I found the perfect vehicle for artistic expression.

Through the process of immersing myself in nature and slowly bringing the garden back to its former glory, I started seeing the flowers, vines and foliage as materials I could create work with.

My journey into floral design started with a simple desire to bring more of the outside in, to create pieces that felt organic and deeply connected to the earth. What excites me most is that my work isn’t just inspired by nature—it’s made with nature. The colors, textures, and forms all come from the land itself, creating something that is both about the natural world and of it. It feels a little like a potter making work about clay, or a painter exploring the nature of paint.

I live with my partner Tim and our three dogs, Pip, Rana, and Goose. We grow vegetables and medicinal herbs, as well as flowers, on our little patch and have six chickens that keep us in a steady supply of eggs. The spare room serves as my studio, which is full to the brim with flowers and foliage at various stages of drying.

I  tread as lightly as I can, respecting nature in the work that I make, but also in the way I make it and the methods I employ. I use no dyes or chemicals, and every piece I create is designed to be fully biodegradable. I believe there is nothing more beautiful than nature itself and the ability to create within the cyclical nature of the natural world.

Beyond my online shop, I offer bespoke designs, more of which you can see here. Along with custom pieces for your home or business, I also create installations for weddings and have a special interest in working with dried flowers as a way of honouring the passing of loved ones. You can find out more here My approach is collaborative and heartfelt, ensuring that every creation is a true reflection of the moment it’s meant to celebrate.

Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to creating something beautiful for you.
