A small selection of what our happy customers have to say:

Dear Ian,

Just want to write this short note to you to thank you profusely for your efforts to make Paola and Edvard's wedding the memorable and beautiful occasion that it was. I very much remember looking at pictures of flowers with you and Paola and discussing ideas for what would work best. All the choices seemed lovely and I know Paola and I were both happily looking forward to the seeing things take shape on the day. Let me tell you Ian that from the moment at Arley Hall when you delivered Paola's stunning, and yet so elegantly simple, bouquet I knew we were in for an absolute visual treat.

Paola and Edvard's day was beautifully framed by your flowers. The church laced in white tulips with the lovely ivy adorned candles flickering in every window looked so very lovely. Thank you so much - as you know I was a bit uneasy about how St Wilfriid would look, it looked absolutely beautiful. And the little flower girls loved their pomanders (which did indeed survive!!!!), the buttonhole flowers, the wrist corsages - all equally lovely.

The flowers at Arley Hall were a total triumph - the mix between the cascading tall arrangements with the flat was brilliant. I know I am beginning to wax overly eloquent - but it is the absolute truth. You cannot imagine how many of our guests (a very international gathering as I think we told you, Italians, Americans, Mexicans, Norwegians, Spanish, Iranians, Kenyans, Brazilians ....) complimented us on the flowers - we saw a good many people taking pictures of your work! Again - thank you.

After the wonderful day we were delighted to share the flowers with friends family and of course St Wilfrid! I can tell you that a very happy Maid of Honour kept Paola's bouquet and 10 days later it was still looking beautiful and doubling up as her dining room centre piece. The usher, and Paola's brother, has carefully pressed his buttonhole to keep for year to come.

I know flowers are your job Ian, but from what you produced for us I can tell it something you also love to do.

So a final thank you for all you did to make the start of Paola and Edvard's married life a thing of beauty.

My very best regards,
Patricia Moreno de Smith

Dear Ian,

I want to tell you how pleased we were with the flowers. The tables looked fantastic, your attention to detail didn't go unnoticed. Even down to the apples on the top table, the room at Sandhole Barn looked really lovely.

The bouquet's were just perfect and the bridesmaids wands well the looked fantastic until the girls threw them over their heads a few times with all the excitement but they looked lovely walking down the aisle, but that's children for you.

All the guest were equally pleased with being able to take the flowers home with them, so everybody was happy.

Thank you, i knew as soon as I saw you at the wedding fayre that you were completely professional, it has been a pleasure dealing with you throughout the process.

Dear Ian,

We would like to thank you immensely for the wedding flowers you supplied for my daughters wedding on 26th June. The pedestal arrangements in St Philip's Church Alderley edge were magnificent. We were also thrilled with the flowers on the lychgate.

The girls bouquets and the men's buttonholes were perfect. 'Your professionalism made choosing the right flowers very easy.'

It was the most perfect day and we thank you sincerely for your patience and understanding and of course tor the wonderful flowers.Thank you also for the flowers at the Hunting Lodge, Adlington Hall, with flowers in the round window was perfect'.

Very best wishes,
Eric & Margaret Teasdale

It was lovely to catch you at the hotel the morning after the wedding, to thank you in person but I also wanted to write to reiterate those thanks. I simply can't thank you enough! The flowers were absolutely stunning, they exceeded my expectations & were the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen.

Actually still can see, as one of the balls is still going strong. It's in the conservatory with no radiators on & is lasting & lasting, I get pleasure every time I look at it. People I gave the garlands to have said theirs have lasted too & they have thoroughly enjoyed having them. I'm sure people tell you all the time that guests comment on the flowers, but ours truly did, over & over & over again, particularly the rose balls.

The candelabras were fabulous, definitely the right thing to go with & I am so glad we went for all 5 rather than 2 of them & 3 glass vases - as lovely as your glass vases are. The room looked magical, with the lights dimmed, the candles lit & the beautiful flowers. The flowers made the whole thing for me. I've not stopped raving about them! They were worth every single penny. The colours of the roses were perfect Ian & I'm so thankful for your expertise on those & very grateful for your judgement, it was spot on.

You added just the right amount of foliage in too.... all just perfect. I will not hesitate for one second to recommend you to anyone & will sing your praises to anyone that will listen. Please pass my thanks on to your team too, all of which have always been most helpful & friendly when I called in to the shop. Next time I need flowers for anything I won't be calling in to anywhere else!

Many thanks again & all good wishes to you
Christine & Tim Walker

Dear Ian, I would like to say how gratful we are for everything you and your team did for us in making Leah & James wedding so very successful on 5th September.

All the flower arrangements were really stunning and especially Leah's Bouquet. We are aware of all the hard work that is involved in assembling orchids and are very appreciative.

The table settings were amazing.

It was such a relief to have it all delivered to Aberystwth and arranged so beautifully for us even though it is 31/2 hours drive from your shop.

Thank you once again for all that you did
Yours sincerely Mrs SM Potter

Dear Ian & team, I just thought I’d write to you to thank you very much indeed for providing such beautiful flowers for our daughters wedding at Mere Golf & Country Club. The flowers were greatly admired by our guest and the bouquets look even more wonderful on the photographs- if that’s possible!

The rosemary basket for the tables were a real hit and the guests who were given them to take home were absolutely delighted and left with smiles from ear to ear. I’ve kept two of them for myself as a constant reminder of our wonderful day. My corsage was lovely as were the thank you bouquets we were given.

The whole wedding proceeded perfectly with good weather, food and entertainment. So thank you once again for the special part your flowers played in our lovely day
