About Tilly’s Of Davenham
Elegance in the heart of Cheshire
Tilly’s of Davenham, was born from the vision I had to make sure that everyone’s wedding day dreams can come true.
At Tilly’s we work with the highest quality silk materials. (So good we have had brides trying to catch their scent of our roses at wedding fayres.)
We have designed and created a unique range of styles to enhance any venue and theme of wedding.
With over 30 years of experience in the Floristry industry, our passion for floristry and quality of workmanship are the driving force of Tilly’s of Davenham, so I truly hope you find our ranges inspiring.
Our Experience – Jane
Where do I begin, my passion for floristry began from leaving school, I worked in a local family florist learning my trade, as a trainee, advancing to the wedding florist and running the second shop.
At the age of 25 I set out on my journey of teaching floristry, working at a number of colleges through the Northwest. My passion for teaching floristry is as strong today as the day I started teaching, with my key ethos, of quality.
In 2007 I jumped at the chance to become 1 of 9 of the first students to take the new Level 5 – Master Diploma in Professional Floristry, which is the highest qualification in Floristry in the UK. At that time, with two young children, a teaching career and my quality role with City and Guilds, at times I did feel I had maybe jumped too far, but the skills I developed, friends I made and of course the graduation party made it all worthwhile.
For 14 years alongside my teaching role, I worked for City and Guilds as an External verifier, this role took me from the top of Scotland to the south of England, inspecting Floristry programmes at college and training centres near and far. My desire to ensure the quality of floristry training and the next generation of florists is close to my heart. As a florist you have the ability to touch people at the key times of their life, when flowers can say simply hello, good bye or I love you, you have one chance to get it right.
