The Rarified

The Rarified is a wedding and private party florist run by Joanna Cairns from a studio at Ripon Cathedral Workshops in Ripon, North Yorkshire. Joanna has worked in floristry for 18 years and designs each wedding individually, combining flowers, foliage, plants and props for celebrations of every size. Her work is client led, and she describes it as artistic, refined and original. Portfolio weddings include Allerton Park, Grantley Hall, Middleton Lodge, Yorkshire Sculpture Park and private church and marquee days. Alongside weddings the studio takes on private parties and runs Christmas wreath workshops, a free workshop and mentoring. The studio also offers an online wreath making workshop and an autumnal arrangement session, and flowers can be delivered or arranged onsite. The business is women owned and has free parking nearby with a wheelchair accessible entrance.
