Yes — we offer free next day flower delivery throughout Colchester and surrounding CO postcodes for all of our bouquets. If you’re unsure, get in touch and we’ll confirm availability for your address.

Absolutely. You can add a short message at checkout and we’ll include a hand-written note with your flowers.

We all have our favourites and we would be happy to accomodate special requests. Get in touch to arrange a bespoke bouquet and we will do our best to accomodate your request.

Although Sunday is usually my day off, I am happy to accomodate deliveries with enough notice- get in touch.

If you are worried about any furry friends then please add an extra note as part of your gift message or get in touch directly- I will double check the suitability of the flowers used and make any relevant substitutions.

A florist's choice bouquet allows me to get a bit creative and use blooms that are the best value to create something spectacular. These bouquets are the best value because they allow me to adapt the flowers based on the very changable market costs and ensure you get a show stopper and a surprise!

As a small, independant florist I do have to order in my blooms for each order. This does mean that I need 1 day of notice for an order. Unlike a highstreet florist I do not typically have flowers on hand as I aim to keep my bouquets as fresh as possible to make sure you get the best out of your blooms. There may be the odd occasion where I have some flowers to hand and can put together a florist's choice bouquet and I will often post these on social media.

You will recieve a confirmation of delivery email to the email address you used to make the purchase (be sure to check your spam!). I am to make deliveries by 5PM but ifyou need a bouquet delivered for a particular time then please do include this in your delivery instructions and I will try my best to adhere to this.

It is completely normal to be figuring out your budget and requirements as you go. I am more than happy to put together multiple quotes or arrange a call with you to discuss cost-frinedly ways to bring your wedding vision to life. You are not bound to use my services of you ask for a quote so please don't worry about reaching out and asking questions- I am here to help!

You can get your flowers delivered to the venue the morning of your wedding. Alternatively, you can have them delivered the night before to wherever you are staying. Many couples like to have their flowers to hand for pictures whilst they get ready.

This is all about timing- if the registry office and reception are within a couple of days then you will be able to re-use your flowers (do let me know as this will impact flower selection to ensure the flowers last). If the reception is more than a couple of days after the wedding ceremony then you would need fresh flowers.

Many couples like to DIY bits of their day and we can absolutely do our best to match this. If you are using faux florals then this can have different colours and textures to real flowers- they will not match when compared closely but the overall theme can certainly match.

No- I only use real fresh and dried flowers. If you are planning on using faux florals as part of your day then just let me know and we can try and make them match the fresh flowers as well as possible.

Absolutely! Plans change all the time and I am flexible to adjusting your requirements. For our ‘ready made’ bouquets I need at least 1 week notice to add to your order. For bespoke weddings I need 1 month notice. If you would like to remove items from your quote please let me know as soon as possible.

Absolutely! You can keep everything apart from any vases or other vessels- these are rented to you and will be collected at the end of the night. Large arrangements like meadows and long and low table arrangements are made in foam and can be taken apart or taken home as they are to be enjoyed for a little longer.

Budget is so important and we are all about total transparency. If you have a particular budget the easiest way to stick to it is to let me know! I can then make any suggestions of alterations to help us stay within that figure. Take a look at my money saving blog for more advice.

Some flowers and foliage can cause minor reactions in some people. It is always best to let me know so that I can be mindful of selecting anything that can be irritating. Also let me know if you are having any furry friends at your wedding as some flowers can be dangerous for animals.

I am not insured to handle food and do not have the relevant training. However, I am more than happy to coordinate some flowers with your cake supplier or wedding venue as they will have the relevant training and insurances.

Prices vary based on which florist you use and the design you require. Our most popular product is a double ended coffin spray which starts from £150 but we have smaller designs so every budget can get some lovely flowers. If you are on a tighter budget then take a look at our wreaths and posies.

Traditional flowers include lilies, roses and chrysanthemums but the "right" flowers entirely depend on the memory of the loved one you are honouring. Did they have a favourite flower or colour? Let us know and we will do our best to accommodate any requests.

The funeral planning process can be a stressful and emotional time. We require a minimum of 48 hours notice to ensure we are able to produce the best work we can for you. The earlier you book the more likely we will be able to accommodate any requests.

Again, there are no rules here. Some may say that bright flowers like sunflowers should not be used in a funeral — but we are happy to use any kind of flowers that you like.

Roses and lilies are the most common and popular flowers to have at funerals. Carnations and chrysanthemums are also popular as smaller flowers in an arrangement.

Yes we do! The usual events are weddings and funerals but I would love to be a part of any other events you have coming up. Birthday parties, anniversaries, even corporate events are all great reasons to have some flowers.

This is an area I am always open to. If you are a potential venue who would like to have floristry clubs/classes/workshops please do get in touch. Classes can also be great for team building or hen dos- get in touch and I would be happy to chat about your requirements.

I am a new and small business who is always open to explore ways of promoting my business and getting to know other business owners. If that is you and you think we could run a collaboration together then please do reach out- I would be interested to hear your ideas.

Yes! I would love to get involved with some larger projects and would be happy to lend a hand to other florits to bring a grand vision to life.

You can order for Christmas delivery now! Our last delivery date is 22nd December.

Your arrangement should stay looking fresh for a minimum of 5 days. After this point some of the more fragile flowers may begin to fade but these can be removed to keep the overall arrangement looking good. Most of the arrangement is made of evergreen foliage and dried elements so these parts will stay looking good for weeks!

Keep the arrangement away from strong heat sources like radiators. Keep the arrangement in a cool location (you could even pop them outside or in a shed when not being used — just don’t let them freeze!). Arrangements are made with floral foam which is soaked with water and stores some water to keep living elements hydrated — after a couple of days you may want to re‑hydrate the foam by slowly pouring a small amount of water onto the foam (you can remove something from the arrangement in order to do this).

All of our Christmas arrangements are custom made to order. The beauty of this is that you can make any requests that you like and we will be happy to try and fulfil them. Get in touch if you have any questions or include a note when you place your order with a request.

Absolutely. Every bouquet includes a hand-written card as standard, and I can add favourite stems, luxury ribbon, or keepsake vases. Use the gift message box at checkout or contact me for bespoke requests.
