Zara and her team recently did some flowers for our wedding day. Being a florist myself it is incredibly important to have someone that knows what we wanted and that I could trust. They were beautiful and just perfect for our day

Zara did our flowers for our wedding at Ashdown park 30.07.21. Her flowers and arrangements were absolutely stunning and we couldnt of asked for more. When we first met Zara I wasnt too sure on what I exactly wanted but she knew before I did and we got so many compliments on the flowers and Im having my bouquet dried and framed. Thank you so much for all your help. You were amazing :)

We wanted really good flowers for my wife's funeral.
Zara did a fantastic arrangement of lilies (my wife's favourite flower) for the coffin display and a magnificent pedestal arrangement for the church service. I would recommend Zara without hesitation, she gave us the confidence that she would do a lovely arrangement and she went above and beyond. The service and advice she gave was excellent and she did a spectacular display for us. Thank you Zara!

Zara provided the posy for our baby's funeral. I asked a few days before if I could make a special request to include particular colours and flowers. Zara was considerate and compassionate on the phone. She was so accommodating and said she would make sure it would be a special . She did not disappoint, they were beautiful. I am truly grateful.

We cannot recommend Zara highly enough. At the initial meeting she really took the time to get to know us and interpret what we wanted for our wedding flowers. When she said to trust her to do something special with the colourful palette we had in mind, we absolutely knew we could.
Zara was fantastic when we had to change dates and then on the day - wow! We were totally blown away by how stunning our flowers were. Absolutely gorgeous, some really unique touches and like nothing we've seen before. Everyone was so in love with them, including the venue staff, the make up artist and the registrars

Zara created the most beautiful wedding bouquet for me last summer when my wedding was cancelled due to covid-19 and we had to change our wedding date and plans quickly. Zara was so helpful and I was so pleased with my beautiful bouquet. Thank you Zara!

Zara did an absolutely outstanding job with my wedding bouquet. My husband and I decided to get married a month early the day before lockdown and Zara managed to make my dream bouquet in only 2 days. It was so unbelievably beautiful and more than I could have ever imagined. Not only did she make my bouquet but she made button holes for all of our guests! I wouldnt go to anybody else for flowers other than Zara. Thank you so much!
