From Belfast to Buckingham Palace and Ballintubbert, sustainable royal florist Shane Connolly, known for his eco credentials and as a floral alchemist, talks exclusively to THE GLOSS about flowers, fa

ux pas and famous clients ahead of his visit to the Ballintubbert Garden Festival this weekend…

A royal warrant holder and psychology graduate, the Northern Irish-born Shane Connolly famously did the wedding flowers for Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge in 2011. “Everything had to be significant rather than opulent and wasteful. Seasonal, British and meaningful was the brief.” It could also be the mantra of Connolly’s eponymous business, founded in 1989. Other prestigious clients include, the V&A Museum and The Royal Academy of Arts.

I was so proud to be asked to do those flowers. An Irishman adding flowers to a coronation, who would have have thought? Although Constance Spry, who did the flowers for Queen Elizabeth’s coronation in 1953, also considered herself somewhat Irish, having spent much of her youth and early adulthood in Ireland., although it’s so much more fun to do a wedding in a less expected time of year like winter.
