I would like to thank you for your contributions and dedication to the Centenary Event for Her Majesty The Queen. The flowers were wonderful works of art and truly breathtaking. The feedback across the board from all our guests praises the showpiece floral displays & what could be nicer than to see your posy in ‘Hello’ magazine.

Thank you so much for doing mum’s flowers. They were all lovely and got so many compliments! My ‘Blanket’ was very delicate and really suited the wicker coffin. Venetta’s heart was beautiful and Chris’s ‘NAN’ also raised compliments. It was lovely to have them done by you and I’m really grateful.

Thank you very much for the fantastic work you did with our wedding flowers – they looked amazing and many of our guests commented on their original design. I shall definitely recommend you to my friend if they ever require a florist.
Many thanks again

We had such a lovely day and it went just as planned!
