Did you know we also do farewell flowers? We are always so touched to be asked to create arrangements for funerals and memorial services.

We don’t have a brochure because we think it’s important for each arrangement to be bespoke and unique. We want to create something that the person being remembered, would also have loved and enjoyed. Incorporating a favourite colour or a favourite flower….

As with most of our florals, our style is country garden - being situated here in the village, this seems to fit for the majority of our tributes. The comment we hear often is ‘he/she loved their garden’, which makes us very happy😊

Please do keep us in mind if you have a time when you need such flowers. It would be a privilege to help xx

A special dinner party at the beautiful Bolesworth Castle.

We absolutely loved creating these arrangements, with a gorgeous colour palette of soft blush pinks, creamy whites and fresh greens, complemented by deep burgundy tones to bring a little touch of autumn.

Full of beautiful textures, seasonal flowers and lovely little details, these arrangements were created for a very special occasion.

A big thank you to Bolesworth for capturing these beautiful photos and sharing them with us! xx

A little reminder that we offer gift wrapping too! 🌸

All our gifts come wrapped in our usual brown paper or bag, but if you’d like something a little more special, you can purchase your favourite gift wrap and ribbon from us and we’ll happily use it to wrap your gift for you!

Or, if you prefer to do the wrapping yourself at home, we also have wrapping paper available to purchase.
And whilst you’re choosing your gifts, don’t forget to browse our wonderful selection of cards to find the perfect finishing touch.

Everything you need to make someone’s day, all in one place! xx

What a gorgeous brief we had for the wonderful wedding of A&M🥂 From the planning to the day itself, it was a total pleasure☺️

To have both the ceremony and reception in the gorgeous village of Aldford, 3 miles up the road, using all local suppliers, it was a dream❤️

The colours marked the end of summer and we welcomed in the autumn tones🍂

Huge congrats to you both, we loved it☺️xx

We had the loveliest time welcoming in Autumn for our friends at the fabulous Lydiate Hall Farm Shoppe.

It’s not on the doorstep for many of our customers, but if you’re ever over that way or fancy a trip, it’s so worth it 😊. They have amazing fruit, veg and other delights, and super helpful staff. Then outside there are Highland cattle and ducks to feed (buy some food in the Shoppe), and an incredible number of peacocks just wandering around! A totally unique place - go visit!

For any floral arrangements or enquiries, please get in touch — we’d love to create something beautiful for you! 😊 x

When English country garden meets the olive groves of Tuscany💚

We’ve been home a few weeks now but still thinking about this dreamy wedding in Italy. Made even more special when the bride is one of your daughter’s best friends since childhood, you’ve watched her grow, and now get to see her marry her perfect partner❤️

Hope these capture a glimpse of the stunning Villa Cozzano | Tuscan Estate More photos will follow (sorry,not sorry!) but thanks to everyone who shared these - I barely took any myself🙈!!!

A weekend of joy, love and laughter….
& also hot, busy☺️ and beautiful!!

I do need to especially thank Davide COIMF for supplying the most gorgeous flowers🙌🏼 - it’s a big thing to trust someone you’ve never met, in another country, but I need not have worried, the quality was incredible🙏

Congrats Luce and Harry🥂, and thank you, we loved it xx
