Kim
HI.
I’m Kim, Founder of Dreamboats & Carousels Floral Design.
The shifting world of 2020 drove my intensified relationship with nature. I realised a heartfelt need to be immersed in the outdoors, and to let my hands speak freely in a language of creativity.
Dreamboats & Carousels was born to reinvigorate, ground, and inspire me.
Creativity has always been my first language. Long before I could write, I was drawing, composing, and visualising. I’ve always been able to see a finished design in my mind before bringing it to life- a skill that now defines my approach to floral design.
Discovering flowers felt like discovering my true medium. Where others see stems and blooms, I see composition, movement, and atmosphere. I work with colour, form, scale, scent, and texture to create immersive, three-dimensional environments-florals that are not simply styled, but felt.
ABOUT
FOUNDER, CREATIVE DIRECTOR AND
FLORAL ARCHITECT
As a luxury UK and destination wedding florist, I pour a part of myself into all of my creations, as with any artist. Our couples relish the unique concepts, my signature style and the connections we forge with each other. Our discerning clients seek us for our immersive, transformative and experiential approach to floral design. I believe there are no limits to what can be created, and this drive to design without restriction and boundaries allows my full creativity to flood each event with beauty and breathtaking designs.
Flowers, for Kim, have never been about symmetry or perfection. They are about movement. Mood. Energy.
She is drawn to the way florals interact with space-how they climb walls, soften hard edges, frame moments, and shift the atmosphere of a room. To Kim, florals are not standalone objects, but living elements that respond to light, architecture, and human experience.
This sensitivity to space has shaped her approach from the very beginning, allowing her to design florals that feel intuitive and immersive rather than imposed.
This balance between intuition and expertise is at the heart of her process-allowing creativity to roam freely, while ensuring every installation is executed with precision, safety, and intention.

"Kim not only has a passion for what she does, but that passion extends to her clients too. She is kind, caring, friendly, patient and funny, and in all honesty, she is someone I’d love to be friends with!"

"KIM IS THE BEST OF THE BEST."
As a wedding planner myself, I was looking for a florist to take my vision in such extreme detail, and make it happen. I feel so lucky to have had Kim as my florist for my entire wedding weekend.
Nothing was too much for Kim. I had a specific list of florals and foliage I wanted to feature and have quite strong opinions about some varieties. Kim never made me feel like I was requesting too much. She sat back and listened to my preferences, added her expertise and suggestions and created my dream floral design. She completely surpassed my expectations and every event was beyond magical. We had such open communication throughout, which I think is really special.
It truly felt like Kim put her heart into my wedding, and this made it all the more special. Even down to last minute unexpected changes - she really cared about my vision and how everything was coming to life for me. Kim is one of the kindest people I know, whilst being extremely talented at what she does. I can’t sing her praises enough. I can’t wait to work with Kim again on future projects, and will continue to highly recommend her to anyone looking for a florist for the special events.
"Your talent is beyond my wildest dreams."
KIM! Honestly you are incredible! Your talent is beyond my wildest dreams. The whole space was more than anything I could have dreamt of. I spent the whole evening looking at everyone's faces as they looked around.
Thank you so so so so much! Eternally grateful xxxx
"KIM FROM DREAMBOATS AND CAROUSELS WAS TRULY EXTRAORDINARY."
She didn’t just do our wedding florals... she went above and beyond in every possible way. From the very beginning, she deeply understood my vision and elevated it with her creativity, impeccable taste, and attention to detail.
Every arrangement was breathtaking!! Lush, layered, and romantic without ever feeling overdone. Walking into the ceremony space, I was completely overwhelmed by how magical it felt. Our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how beautiful and unique the florals were, and they tied the entire day together perfectly.
What stood out most about Kim is how invested she was in making everything seamless and special. She was thoughtful, communicative, and genuinely cared about making the day perfect for us. It felt like she poured her whole heart into the work - and it showed.
If you’re looking for someone who will exceed your expectations and create florals that feel like a dream, I cannot recommend Kim highly enough. She made our wedding unforgettable.
"The devil works hard, but kim works harder!"
Kim was highly professional, realistic and kind.
Kim's creations truly made our day; all of our guests were totally wowed. They were wonderful, smelt divine, and we were lucky enough to be able to take them home the next day to enjoy for another week.
I have absolutely no reservations recommending Kim, as well as giving her total creative freedom-she really will produce something wonderful that you won't ever forget.
A big hug, tears of joy, and the knowledge that we will remember your masterpieces forever and ever, as well as your reassurance, friendship and warmth that radiated like sunshine, is the best I can offer by way of thanks.
"I have had thousands of people asking me who my florist was."
Kim was like a breath of fresh air to work with. She was so happy to work with us alongside our planner to create a floral design that was unique to us and our style.
In the lead up to the wedding she sent us some sketches of our floral designs, which were lovely to keep, but it was also so nice to know that we were on the same page! What she actually created on the day was nothing short of a masterpiece. Our huge hanging installation was pretty much the talk of our wedding, and she created an absolute monstrosity of a flower arch that was beyond our wildest dreams, and covered the whole of the 6 metre arch from floor to ceiling.
Kim was a lovely calming influence to be around, and I really loved working with her.
"I had Kim saved as ‘florist of dreams’ in my phone since our first consultation."
Kim creates such magic, her work absolutely speaks for itself and I don’t even have to read her reviews to know they will all be 11/10 recommendations. Not only is Kim evidently amazing at what she does (you only need one glance at her instagram to see the true beauty and scale of art she is capable of creating), she’s the most lovely, hard working, friendly person who you just fall in love with and feel at absolute ease with! You’re fully able to put your trust into her and her team, she has the absolute eye for it and she really did create a truly unforgettable atmosphere on our special day!
I without a doubt know that Kim puts her heart into her work and she really made us feel more than just another couple. I’m so so grateful Kim was free on our date and couldn’t have imagined anyone else in the world creating our florals, best decision we ever made!
All our love, Amy & Sonny x
"From the very first moment i spoke to kim, i knew she was 'the one'."
Where to start? I'm not sure my words will do Kim justice, but I'll try...
Kim is without a shadow of a doubt the best decision we made with regards to our wedding. Her floral designs are out of this world. She created something that left me absolutely speechless. Every single arrangement was STUNNING, and I really do mean that.
The real piece de resistance, however, is Kim herself-she is the most gorgeous person. She not only has a passion for what she does, but that passion extends to her couples too. She is kind, caring, friendly, patient, funny, and in all honesty, she's someone I'd love to be friends with!
I know she'll only go from strength to strength, as she goes the extra mile for every single client.
