If your order is for an area outside of the above we can organise delivery for you through our network of florists the main one we currently use is Interflora. We will ask them to make as close as possible to the image but because of the difference in stock and sundry items, it may not be exact.
Once your bouquet has been delivered to the recipient, you will receive a photograph of your delivery to give you peace of mind.
Standard delivery is £7.50 for this we will deliver your flowers between the hours of 9am-5.30pm Monday - Saturday and 10am-4pm on Sunday.
Morning Delivery £12 flower delivery between 8-12
Same Day Delivery £10 as long as you order before 2pm Mon - Sat and before 1pm on Sunday. If you want same day after this we recommend you call the shop on 01517244850 and we will see what we can do. If you do place a same-day delivery after 2 - if we can get it out we will - if not we will deliver it the next working day.
For areas we do not deliver to we can still help you by advising you on flower choices and then routing through the Interflora network of florist. The delivery cost for this is the same as above.
If no one is in when we try to deliver we see if any of the neighbours will take the flowers and put a card through the recipients door letting them know where the flowers are so that they can get them as soon as they get home. If no neighbours are available we will put a card through the door letting them know that we have taken the flowers back to the shop so they can call and rearrange delivery for when they are in.
If you have a telephone number for the recipient it is always worth giving it to us at point of order as if there is any difficulty with the delivery we can contact them direct and they are more likely to get their flower on the day.
When we have left the flowers with a neighbour your delivery notification will indicate where these have been left.
Cut off for guaranteed same-day delivery is 2pm Mon – Sat and 1pm on Sunday. However if it is later than this and the address is nearby we will always do our best to help you so worth a call to the shop. 01517244850
Normal delivery time is anytime between 9am - 5.30pm just because an address is close to the shop does not necessarily mean it will definitely get delivered in the morning. Many factors can affect this we may have lots of guaranteed delivery orders on that morning or we may be waiting for a fresh flower delivery before your flowers can be made. If you must have you flower by a certain time ask for one of our enhanced delivery services, if you would just like it by a certain time but not imperative ask us and we will always do our best we will just not be able to guarantee.
You will also receive a text and or email when your flowers have left our shop on delivery. This will give you an idea of when your flowers might arrive - however bear in mind we sometimes have quite large delivery runs and can take several hours to complete. Proximity to the shop does not necessarily mean your order will be delivered first as our routing software works out the most efficient route in a circular route from our shop.
Yes you can. Once your bouquet has been delivered to the recipient you will receive a text and or email, if you have provided and email you will also receive a photograph of your delivery. Please note we take a photo of the order on the doorstep before delivery to avoid awkward photos at the door. We don't leave flowers on the doorstep unless we have been asked to and it is protected and secure.
The longevity of flowers varies on the type of flowers and the care they receive. However all our flower are backed by or 7 day freshness guarantee and we will gladly exchange them for you if they do not live up to this expectation. Many of our customers tell us our flowers last much longer than this and that flowers from us last much longer than when they get them from other florists. We attribute this to a high stock turnover and buying where we can directly from the grower meaning our flowers spend much less time in transit and these extra days get added onto your vase life.
Make sure your vase has been thoroughly washed before filling ¾ with clean water. Do not use a metallic container. Add the flower food provided, following the instructions on the packet. Remove any wrapping from the flowers (but leave tie in place) and remove any foliage that will be below the water level before cutting (at and angle) about 2cms off the bottom of the stems.
Display your flowers in a cool location away from draughts ripening fruit, direct sunlight and heat sources such as radiators or fires as these will all prematurely age your flowers. Top up water daily and remove any fading flowers. Every 2-3 days re-cut the stems and replace in fresh water.
If you are unhappy with any aspect of your flower delivery please do get in touch as quickly as possible and we will do everything we can to resolve it so that you are a happy customer. Due to the perishable nature of the product we are unable to refund or replace flowers older than 7 days.
Flowers are a natural product and as such vary in colour, shape and quality depending on variety of conditions. Because of this fact we can never say the bouquet or arrangement will look exactly like the picture as no two will ever be the same. However the picture is a guide for you and should give a fair representation of the colours and types of flowers you will receive. As flowers are seasonal to give you the very best we occasionally may have to make substitutes If this has a major effect on the look of the design we will contact you to agree the change before delivery.
Whilst for longevity it is always better to unpack an aqua packed bouquet and transfer to vase there are times when this is simply not possible. In this instance the best way to care for your flowers is to keep an eye on the water level and top up when necessary using the flower food provided. Remove any faded flowers as soon as possible (as the ethelyne gas that decaying flower gives off ages others flowers quicker) To remove get cut the stem from the top as close to the tying point as possible.
Make sure your vase has been thoroughly washed before filling ¾ with clean water. Do not use a metallic container. Add the flower food provided, following the instructions on the packet. Remove any wrapping from the flowers (but leave tie in place) and remove any foliage that will be below the water level before cutting (at and angle) about 2cms off the bottom of the stems. Top up water daily and remove any fading flowers. To remove a fading flower cut the stem from the top as close to the tying point as possible so as not to destabilise the bouquet. Every 2-3 days re-cut the stems and replace in fresh water.
If you receive flowers already arranged in a vase you do not need to do anything straight away. In 2-3 days time lift the flowers out of the vase if tied leave this in place if not tied try hold the flowers together so as not to change the design. Cut the stems and replace water using the flower food provided, following the instructions on the packet. Top up water as needed and remove any fading flowers.
If you receive flowers already arranged in a vase you do not need to do anything straight away. If you receive flowers in a vase there a grid system has been used to arrange the flowers do not lift the flowers out of the vase, to change the water tip the water out then replace the water using the flower food provided, following the instructions on the packet. Top up water as needed and remove any fading flowers.
If you receive flowers arranged in floral foam or oasis you do not need to do anything straight away. In 2-3 days time mix water into a jug the flower food provided, following the instructions on the packet. Take the arrangement to the sink and poor the water slowly onto the foam as close as you can to the arrangement (you may not use all the flower food solution). If the arrangement has a back it is usually easier to do this from the back as there is less flowers and foliage there. Top up water every couple of days and remove any fading flowers.
We do a full range of funeral flowers which can be found here on our website.
Ideally around a week before as some flowers require opening to get to just the right stage for the day or involve us buying special frames which can take a few days to come in. However if time is less than that we will still be able to do something for you.
We always deliver funeral flowers at least 2 hours before the service.
Funeral flower are usually delivered to the Funeral Directors or the Deceased’s home. We can not deliver to the crematorium as they do not allow tributes to be delivered direct to there anymore. However as long as you know the name of the deceased and the day of the funeral we should be able to find out which funeral director is dealing with it and deliver the flowers there.
We do a full range of Flowers for funerals from something for the top of the Casket to Letters and smaller pieces such as single ended sprays, wreaths, Posies, hearts, crosses, baskets and pillows. We can also do something more Bespoke and speical tributes for children

Our gift bags and packaging are made from recycled materials, and we encourage minimal packaging. We are a paperless company, using digital communications to reduce paper usage.

Waste Reduction: We sort and recycle waste wherever possible, compost green waste, and collaborate with local businesses to manage our composting process more effectively. We also give back to local communities by composting old flowers and returning this natural resource to support local gardens and green spaces.
Community Engagement: We participate in initiatives like Global Goals Week and work with local organisations to promote sustainability and environmental responsibility.
Continuous Improvement: We regularly review and update our practices to find new ways to be more sustainable, including attending workshops and being part of Clean Growth UK.
