🌸 Meet the Hip Poppy Family

Soulful flowers, family roots – and a few feathers.

Welcome to Hip Poppy, our family-run florist studio in the heart of St Albans. It’s not just flowers here – it’s chaos, colour, and a whole lot of love. Meet the team behind the blooms…

⸻

👩 Storm – The Floral Boss

Blue-haired. Black-jeaned. Always holding scissors, a coffee, or a small child.

I’m Storm – founder of Hip Poppy, florist of 25+ years, and mum of three wildly creative humans.

I make flowers for the moments that matter – and try to keep the cat out of the buckets.

👧 Enya – Mini Muse (Almost 4)

Golden curls, blue eyes, and full of sparkle. She twirls through the studio calling every bloom “so pretty, Mummy!”

Loves hearts, rainbows, and watching the flowers open like magic.

She’s the littlest Hip Poppy, but already carries the biggest joy — and the biggest belief in her mum.

⸻

👧 Autumn – Trend Director (Age 11)

Billie Eilish’s #1 fan and exceptionally cash-savvy.

She’s always asking what she can do to help — from tying ribbons to bossing the colour palette.

She’s sharp, stylish, and full of heart. A future businesswoman — and one of my greatest believers, my side kick, and my ride or die!

⸻

👦 Beau – The Silent CEO (Age 16)

Supportive, steady, and the quiet soul behind it all.

He notices everything and tells me the truth (especially about food).

He might not say much, but when he does? It’s exactly what I need.

He’s my calm, my rock — and always, one of my biggest believers.

⸻

🐾 Now for the Real Bosses…

🐢 Terry the Terrapin – Zen Master

Old soul. Doesn’t rush. Doesn’t react. Just floats in his tank like he’s meditating on the meaning of tulips.

🐱 Pepper the Cat – Creative Director

Multicoloured menace. Knocks over vases and insists on sitting directly on the flower wrap. You can’t train her, but she’s got an eye for balance.

🐶 Frosty the Dog – Head of Security

Small, white, fluffy, and barks like he’s got something to prove. Has personally investigated every flower delivery since we launched.

🐔 Cinnamon the Silkie Chicken – Sustainability Queen

Fluffy, fabulous, and obsessed with eucalyptus. Oversees composting and steals the show whenever guests arrive. She’s very organic.

⸻

💐 Family-Run, Flower-Focused, St Albans-Based

Hip Poppy isn’t just about pretty petals – it’s about memory, comfort, joy, and love.

From funeral tributes to wedding florals and weekly blooms, we put our heart into every stem.

Thank you for supporting this wild, wonderful, pet-filled floral dream.

🌿 Local Flowers, Big Love – St Albans

With love,

Storm x
