NEWS Nearlywed All the latest from around the region FLORAL ROMANCE Ashlee Jane, a home décor influencer and entrepreneur, has won an award for her floral e-commerce business, The Suffolk Nest. When the COVID-19 lockdowns swept the UK, Ashlee was able to focus more of her time on faux-flower arranging. Increased content was met with greater engagement and interest, and her arrangement tutorials and advice sessions on Instagram brought audiences in their thousands. Her first product, the DIY Christmas Wreath Kit, sold out in minutes, so in January 2021, Ashlee took a leap of faith and officially founded the floral e-commerce business, The Suffolk Nest. Garnering numerous awards, such as ‘eCommerce Development Agency of the Year’ in both 2023 and 2024, ‘Home Décor Retailer of the Year’, ‘Faux Floristry Studio of the Year’ and ‘Creator/Influencer Businesswoman of the Year’, Ashlee’s entrepreneurial journey shows no sign of slowing.
