An RHS gold medal, won out of a Balsall Heath print works.

Ash Tree Floral Designs is the most decorated florist in south Birmingham and it works out of a shared creative building on the Moseley Road. Ashley took RHS gold for floral tablescaping at the Malvern Spring Festival in 2026 and a Hitched Wedding Award in 2025, and she came to floristry from a fine art background, which is visible in the work in a way that award lists usually are not. The arrangements are composed rather than assembled: they have a foreground and a background, and they are built to be looked at from a particular place. The Old Print Works address is not incidental either. It is a shared workspace of makers and small businesses in Balsall Heath, and operating from it rather than from a shopfront is what makes the pricing possible. Bespoke wedding flowers start at seven hundred pounds, which is a serious number, but the dried and preserved wedding work carries no minimum spend at all, and the retail range runs from thirty pounds. Very few florists at this level of decoration offer a thirty pound way in. The dried flower strand deserves its own mention, because it is a genuine specialism rather than a shelf. For a couple who want the flowers to survive the wedding, or who are marrying in February and want colour, it is a real answer, and it is one of the reasons the seasonality score here is decent despite a supply line that includes Dutch imports.
The studio covers Birmingham, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, the Cotswolds and the wider Midlands. Services run to bespoke wedding flowers from seven hundred pounds, dried and preserved wedding work with no minimum, funeral flowers, hen parties, and both recreational and professional floristry workshops. Sourcing is stated as British-grown blooms alongside high-quality Dutch imports, and the business is a British Florist Association member. The online shop carries bouquets, jam jar arrangements and workshop bookings from around thirty pounds.
Best for
A wedding where the flowers are meant to be the visual centrepiece, particularly on tables, and anyone who wants dried or preserved wedding work done by someone who takes it seriously rather than as a sideline.
What I would order
If the budget will not stretch to seven hundred pounds of fresh, ask about the dried and preserved route, which carries no minimum. For a gift, the jam jar range is the cheapest way into work of this standard anywhere in the guide.
Worth knowing
Seven hundred pounds is a real floor for bespoke fresh wedding work, and there is no shopfront to walk into: the Old Print Works is a studio in a shared building, by arrangement. Delivery is not a meaningful part of the offer, which is why it scores four there.
Took RHS gold for floral tablescaping at the Malvern Spring Festival in 2026.
Who it is not for
Anyone who wants a bouquet delivered across the city this afternoon. Buttercups & Daisies covers Moseley and the south with a 2pm same-day cut-off.
How it compares
Lily Jones in the Jewellery Quarter is the only other entry with a comparable competition record, and the two are the obvious shortlist for a wedding where technical quality matters. Lily Jones is stronger on structure and installation; Ash Tree is stronger on table work and on dried.
Getting there
The Old Print Works sits on the Moseley Road in Balsall Heath, on the frequent 50 bus route between the city centre and Kings Heath. There is on-street parking on the surrounding roads. Visits are by arrangement rather than walk-in.
Where this assessment comes from
Desk research only. The address, pricing floor, dried-flower specialism and BFA membership are taken from published pages. The compositional judgement rests on the studio's published photography and on the nature of a tablescaping competition, not on having seen the work in a room.
Sources consulted: The business's own website and wedding flowers page, its Instagram, its British Florist Association membership, published Hitched award records, and Birmingham wedding-florist directory listings. The RHS Malvern gold is the business's own claim, carried on its site.
