OBITUARY: Former florist at the Randolph Hotel, Eileen Tideswell - Oxford Mail

EILEEN Tideswell, who has died aged 85, was an outstanding florist with a lust for life.

But she was best known as the hotel's in-house florist and was one of its proudest ambassadors. Eileen Mavis Kepple was born on December 14, 1932, in Bow, London. She was an only child and first came to Oxfordshire with her mother, Violet, as an evacuee during the Second World War. Her father, Herbert, was a brewery manager in Brick Lane and stayed in London, with Eileen and her mother returning to the capital after the conflict.

This meant Eileen missed a lot of school as a teenager, but she still passed her exams when she trained to become a nurse. She returned to Oxford but suffered more health problems, contracting life-threatening tuberculosis in her early twenties. This could have claimed her life, but she beat the disease and soon met future husband Ashworth Tideswell, f... https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/17295887.obituary-former-florist-at-the-randolph-hotel-eileen-tideswell/

It looks different from the stiffly formal, predictable arrangements found at most florist outlets and you need minimal skill level to create it.Select three flowers in complementing shapes and colours and put them in a vase.
