Just look at the colours on this beauty! Luxe colours, luxe flowers. If only you could smell the heavenly scents on this bowl of joy.

Perfect summer colours to match this scorcio summer week we’re having. We customised white Affinity Bowl, spraying them antique gold for that little extra luxurious touch.

As you guys know, this week has been the biggest event we’ve ever done. A lot of planning, a lot of hard work and frankly quite a lot of pressure. Many sleepless nights, early starts and late late finishes.

However there are several amazing human beings that make life much easier, and I just wanted to tell you all how incredibly grateful we are to have them in our business.

My amazing florist and might as well be my little sister, Natalie. She truly is the most hard working, most talented florist, who keeps me grounded and is one of the two most practical people I know (which is what you need when your brains work like mine). Thank you also to her partner who puts up with me keeping her at work late and night and early morning starts.

Secondly, my most amazing husband. He is my biggest cheerleader, the most practical person, the best listener, who is also the best father I could wish to our children. He is the kindest most beautiful husband I could ever wish to have. Thank you for all your help ❤️

A big thanks to Sue for stepping in to help Catherine in the the shop too, we couldn’t do it without you ❤️. Your retail selling skills are phenomenal 😘.

Catherine, of course how could I not mention the most badass mother of them all. You are the most fabulous Mum and Granny, as well as making us laugh so hard, because frankly, you’re bonkers and I wouldn’t have you any other way. You are an inspiration.

I’m incredibly lucky to have such a wonderful team, so just wanted to share with you all. So much sadness in the world at the moment so let’s keep up the love people!

Please share!

Good morning gorgeous people of the Shire!

Did you know it’s Loneliness Awareness Week?

To spread some joy and awareness, we’re leaving Connection Bouquet floral posies around the town. If you’re feeling like you need a pick me up, or you know someone who needs cheering up, please take them.

Whatever you’re doing this weekend, whether it’s celebrating Father’s Day, running around looking after other family and friends or having a quiet one, we hope you get 5 minutes to yourselves to relax.

Please share! A little post to see if you wonderful lot can pass on our thanks.

Last night we blew a tyre on the junction of Sandy lane near Tugford/Baucott. A very kind young couple offered us assistance and were very sweet. All I can remember is the name OAKLEY? Not sure if it’s surname or house name?

Although our amazing family came to get us and sort it out, I was in a pickle just after it happened and the were so lovely. We would really appreciate it if someone sees this and thanks them on our behalf! Many thanks x
