Tina was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Our flowers were everything we had imagined and more and when I saw mine and my bridesmaids bouquet I cried, they were beautiful. Don't even hesitate to contact Tina, you won't be disappointed, such a lovely lady too, honestly couldn't recommend enough.

A wonderful, dedicated, creative florist. Tina was only given quite a vague idea from me for our wedding flowers and she delivered above and beyond. It was so much more than what I could of imagined. We had bouquets and flowers decorating our woodland setting. The woodland was perfect and Tina's flowers were the icing on a perfect day. Forever grateful that she understood the vision I couldn't explain very well!
