In this episode, I have the absolute pleasure of speaking with Neil Strain, one of the world’s most celebrated floral designers and the creative force behind Neil Strain Floral Couture.
Known for his breathtaking, emotive floral installations and signature scent-infused arrangements, Neil has built a luxury brand that graces the homes of royalty, celebrities, and high-profile clients alike.
With flagship boutiques in Mayfair, Belgravia, and Harrods, Neil shares the remarkable journey that took him from Northern Ireland to the pinnacle of global floral design. We dive into the passion and artistry behind his creations, exploring how flowers can be used not just to beautify, but to tell powerful, personal stories that connect with emotion and memory.
During our conversation, Neil reflects on his love for fragrance, elegance, and detail – and how these elements have shaped his philosophy on luxury and self-expression. He also opens up about the challenges of entrepreneurship, the value of perseverance, and the importance of staying grounded in creativity while scaling a business internationally.
Whether you're a lover of floristry, storytelling, or simply the pursuit of beauty, this episode is a masterclass in turning vision into art – and art into legacy.
