About Me
Hey, I’m Sophy
Since getting little Missy, my beloved Cavapoo, I’ve become completely dog-obsessed, they are the best thing ever!
I founded Tails & Twine to bring together my love of flowers, dogs, creativity, and hosting, all wrapped up in an upbeat world full of flowery designs and waggy tails!
Every design and event is created with a sense of purpose, because each one supports The Dogs Trust so I see it as ‘the gift that that keeps on wagging!’
From hand-tied gift bouquets and tailor-made home décor, to seasonal workshops and wedding styling, every piece and event is made with heart, delivered with character, and always a sprinkle of country-style magic.
I believe gifting should be thoughtful, workshops should feel like a celebration, and styling should be, well… stylish!
Pull up a chair, grab a cuppa (or a little fizz!), and thank you for joining me ‘for the love of dogs & flowers’.
Much Love,
Soph & Missy 🐾

What do I offer?
I bring years of hospitality experience, a trained eye for styling, and a capable presence, whether I’m creating florals, styling spaces, or hosting workshops. My work is rooted in thoughtful design, natural materials, and an instinct for how things should look, feel, and flow.
From wedding flowers and venue styling to dried flower gift bouquets, home décor and hands-on experiences, I translate visions and ideas into reality with ease.
Drawing on my multifaceted background, I blend creativity with logistics, beauty with practicality, and always ensure everything feels personal, relaxed, and purposeful.
Where it all began
2011
My career with Virgin Atlantic inspired my heart-led vision, Hosties for Heroes ‘shaking up a cocktail of mud and glamour’ by taking on tough, fun, muddy challenges in support of Help for Heroes.
By recruiting fellow crew members, I brought my idea to life through daring challenges such as skydiving, wing-walking, and an SAS mission. This extraordinary movement, born from my vision and from the heart, proudly raised over £50,000 for our injured troops and veterans..
2016
After 12 years with Virgin Atlantic, I hung up my wings (briefly). I refreshed my floristry skills, did a couple of lovely weddings… Then got lured straight back into the air as a VIP Flight Attendant. Once a Hostie, always a Hostie!
2017
I was awarded a Points of Light award from then Prime Minister, Theresa May for Hosties for Heroes. I even made her Christmas card list, my mum was beside herself..oh, and #MissionSassy was a hit!
2020
Covid hit, redundancy happened, instead of panicking, I grabbed the chance to level up. I dived into an advanced course with The Wedding Academy and qualified in wedding & event styling, planning and floral design.
2021
A whopper of a year. Missy arrived, teeny, magical, and instantly my partner in crime. I also got married and styled a golden, autumn greenhouse wedding that ended up featured on a couple of major blogs. Casual.
2025
Three years later in North Devon, a handful of workshops, a couple of side jobs, a few more wrinkles, and a big idea to blend my love for dogs and flowers, everything clicked and felt aligned… Tails & Twine was born!
Every creation gives back to Dogs Trust, and I’m honestly buzzing for the adventure that lies ahead ✨
And today, I’m on a mission to make a difference again, no wingwalking this time, simply creating beautiful things with a sense of purpose….magic!
