A few questions you may have…

Anywhere in between 18 months to 6 months before your wedding date. The later you leave it, the more likely your date may have been booked already.

I am based in Surrey, so very close to London, Berkshire, Hampshire, West Sussex and Buckinghamshire. But no destination is too far, my van and passport is ready to go anywhere.
-
I am predominately a Wedding florist so the majority of my time is spent creating floral designs for wonderful couples getting married.
I do cover events and funerals too, please use my enquiry forms to get in touch and we can discuss some further details.
-
All flowers delivered for your event are yours to keep after the day, or I can take hem away if you would prefer.
When I return to clear down your wedding florals, I can bundle your flowers for you to give to guests or take home yourselves.
I can also recommend flower preserving companies, if you are interested.
I will need to take any vases, containers and other ancillary items, but during the clear down we will leave the flowers for you and your guests to take home.
-
We require a non-refundable 20% deposit, which will be payable via Bank Transfer after you receive your invoice.
For most events, the balance will need to be paid 6 weeks before the date of your wedding or event.

The floristry world is slowly getting better at being more environmentally friendly and sustainability is very important to me. With this in mind I will never use floral foam in my designs - it can be a little more expensive and take a little longer, but in my eyes it is completely worth it. I will always reuse plastic based supplies and appropriately dispose of my green waste. I will always try to use as many British grown flowers in my designs but realistically I need to use imported blooms to be able to deliver the designs I promise to you.
