Report
I came across Florist in the Forest through a wedding supplier and absolutely fell in love with her gorgeous romantic and elegant flowers - they were exactly what I wanted from my wedding flowers. I met with Katherine twice in her lovely studio and she completely understood my brief and I felt completely confident that she would create my dream wedding flowers. Unfortunately due to all the government announcements, my husband and I decided to bring our day forward as we didn't want to keep postponing and Katherine was regrettably no longer available. But after everything we had gone through leading

A good friend of mine bought me some flowers from florist in the Forest for my birthday and they were amazing. They had flowers and grasses and looked stunning. They also lasted 2 weeks ... very impressive, and very lovely. Thank you. X

We cannot recommend Katherine at Florist in the Forest highly enough. The bouquets, table arrangements and buttonholes/corsages she created for our Spring wedding were completely perfect. She was able to create exactly what we had imagined and all of our guests were highly complimentary of her beautiful work. Thank you Katherine!

Katherine at Florist in the Forest provided the flowers for our wedding in July 2017. We were after rustic but elegant flowers and Katherine designed and delivered stunning church displays, bouquets and table arrangements that were perfect in every detail. I recommend Katherine without reservation.
