Clare was the absolute best right from
Day 1. She was speedy is replying to my emails, had amazing ideas, her knowledge was second to none and she just seemed really nice. My experience didnt waiver, all the way through to my wedding day (almost two years) she was quick to respond and this annoying bride was never too much trouble! On the day my flowers were absolutely everything I could have wanted- perfect colours and beautifully put together. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Thank you so much for our wedding flowers, for our wedding arch, flower crown, bouquets, bannisters, chairs, button holes, table flower arrangements, lanterns and leaves! It looked amazing!! And everyone commented on the autumnal colours and how stunning they looked. Thank you for adding our suggestions and making the ideas come to life. We even shared some flowers a few days later with loved ones in heaven who couldnt be there on the day. We love you Claire, and Mr hicks too!

From the moment we made contact with Clare we just knew she was the one!! Im utterly useless when it comes to flowers, we told her our vision, the theme and she brought it to life. She talked us through the options, was in constant communication throughout the few months leading up to our wedding, despite the fact she had a million other weddings to sort before ours. The flowers were absolutely stunning and just what we had hoped for. Clare is so lovely to deal with, she cares so much about providing the best service. I wouldnt hesitate in recommending her and I certainly wouldnt go anywhere

The flower displays and bouquets Clare produced from our initial descriptions were fantastic. We had so many compliments on the day about the vase displays and the bouquets; everyone was really impressed. Her care, attention to detail, consciousness, and commitment were second to none. Everything was done very professionally but with a lovely personal touch and the flowers themselves were fresh and absolutely beautiful. She created more than we had ever imagined possible and I can't recommend Kelly and Hicks highly enough!

I would highly recommend Clare for any floral display. She did the flowers for our wedding which were better than I would have imagined and so beautiful! We had so many compliments on our day Clare listens to your needs, brings ideas and innovation to her creations and all with a smile. Oh and Mr Hicks is a pure delight! Book Clare, and you won't regret it!

I could not recommend Clare more highly as a wedding florist. She was so friendly and responsive and really took the time understand exactly what we wanted. The flowers on the day really blew me away and were way better than I could have ever imagined. She clearly loves what she does and puts so much effort and love into her work.

Absolutely stunning flowers were created by the loveliest lady for our wedding. Clare is so talented, I literally gave her a brief outline of what i had in my mind (and on my pintrest board!) and Clare produced the most beautiful arrangements for our day that we could move around and re-use at different points through the day, making the most of every arrangement. Her pricing is very very reasonable for the quality and size of the pieces we had! I couldn't recommend Kelly and Hicks enough, a thorough, personal and professional service, what a pleasure. Thank you!! xx
