Can't rave about Kelly enough! She brought my vision board to life and it was better than I could have imagined. Great and easy communication and even catered to some changes in our guest numbers/table sizes unexpectedly. On the day the delivery and set up was seamless and the guests LOVED our flowers, as did I. Can't praise Kelly's work enough! Thank you for contributing to our special day, you're amazing!

Kelly brought our wedding floral dreams to life for our NYE ‘24 wedding. We were a bit stressed when we had to find a new florist 5 months out and we ended up so happy that we went through that, as it meant we were able to have Kelly work her magic for us! Her communication was incredible and we were so chuffed with the results. Our guests were raving about how stunning they were as well.

We absolutely loved working with Kelly from the start. It was easy, enjoyable and our wedding flowers were perfect. She accommodated our being overseas during the planning, gave us advice on how to get the most from our flower budget (so many helpful tips!), put together a really useful mood board that helped us make other non-flower related decisions, and even foraged for a particular thing we wanted in my wife’s bouquet for symbolism. Kelly is awesome!! Cannot recommend her enough!! Thank you sooo much Kelly!

Kelly was amazing from start to finish. She listened to what I wanted and made great suggestions I wouldn’t have thought of. The flowers were absolutely stunning and the work she did on my archway was better than I could have imagined. I made changes at the last minute to include more arrangements and she was more than happy to help. I would highly recommend Kelly. She is a true professional and as a result it was a seamless process.
