The Arbour Beautiful flowers for all occasions

06/09/2026

I’m quite good at making lists.
Things to do at the shop, jobs at home, people to ring, things I really must remember… and usually something that should have been done last week. 😂
But I’m learning that not every day needs to be measured by how much we manage to get done. Some days are for working hard, and some are for Sunday lunch, a walk, sitting in the garden, seeing family, going to church or simply having a quiet cup of tea.

Rest isn’t wasted time.

Sometimes doing less is exactly what we need before we begin again.

There’s something about Saturdays…

“I’m going to lunch and I don’t want to arrive empty-handed.”

“It’s my mother-in-law’s birthday and I completely forgot.” 😂

“We’re seeing friends tonight,have you got jam jar or something I can take?”

And quite often…

“I don’t really need anything. I was just passing.”

Those are some of my favourite Saturday customers.

A bouquet, a candle, a little gift, or occasionally something for yourself that definitely wasn’t on the shopping list.

So if you’re wandering up Steep Hill today, pop your head in and say hello.

You don’t actually have to need anything. 😂🤍

Have you ever wondered how we decide which flowers go together?

There’s something rather lovely about graduation time in Lincoln.
The gowns, proud parents, photographs around the Cathedral Quarter, and that wonderful sense that years of hard work have finally led to this moment.
A bouquet might seem like a small part of the day, but I love what it says:
We’re proud of you. You did it. This deserves celebrating.
We’ll be making lots of beautiful graduation bouquets at The Arbour, ready for those all-important photographs, and, more importantly, for handing over with a very big hug.

If you have someone graduating in Lincoln this year, you can order your bouquet with us in advance. Call 01522537518 or order online or drop us a DM and we will get that arranged for you.

When you’re planning your wedding flowers, don’t forget to look up.
Hanging flowers can completely change the feel of a marquee. They bring the flowers into the whole space, soften that lovely high ceiling and create something your guests notice the moment they walk in.

Hanging flowers can completely change the feel of a marquee.

I particularly love them over the tables, all that beautiful colour and greenery above, while still leaving plenty of room below for conversation, candles and dinner. And under all those twinkling lights, they really do come into their own as the evening draws in.

Tuesday at The Arbour 🌸

One of the things I love about having a flower shop is that you never quite know what the day will bring.
A birthday bouquet, flowers for a new baby, something to say thank you, an anniversary someone nearly forgot 😂, or sometimes flowers for someone going through a difficult time.
All completely different reasons, but each bunch is going somewhere and saying something for somebody.
And I think that’s what keeps this job so interesting.
We get to hear a tiny piece of people’s lives every day — and then choose the flowers to go with it.

Probably earlier than you think.

You don’t need to know exactly which flowers you want, how many arrangements you’ll need or even have every detail of the day decided.
But once you have your date and venue, it’s a good time to start talking to florists whose work you love.
We only take on a limited number of weddings, particularly during the busiest months, so popular dates can disappear surprisingly quickly. The details can come later. For now, find a florist whose style you love, have a conversation and see if they feel like the right fit.
You don’t need to have all the answers before you begin.

Planning your wedding? We’d love to hear about it.

A quiet Sunday, a change of scenery, and time to simply breathe. Sometimes rest is not about doing nothing, it is about allowing our minds, bodies and souls to be restored. Today, I’m slowing down and enjoying the gift of being exactly where I am. I hope your Sunday is a blessed one too.

Have you ever noticed how a room changes when you put fresh flowers in it?

Nothing else has moved. The furniture is the same, the washing up may still be waiting 😂 and life is just as busy…
But somehow, a jug of flowers on the kitchen table makes everything feel a little nicer. Perhaps that’s why, even though we spend our working lives surrounded by flowers, we still take them home. They don’t need an occasion. Sometimes they’re simply there to make an ordinary day feel a little more beautiful.
Happy Friday peeps.

It doesn’t mean matching every flower, ribbon and detail perfectly. Often it’s the little threads running through the day that make everything feel connected, a colour repeated here, a particular flower appearing there, the same soft, natural style flowing from your bouquet to the ceremony, the tables and even the cake. That’s something we think about when we design a wedding as a whole.
We want your guests to notice how beautiful everything feels together without necessarily being able to tell you why. It’s those little details that quietly bring the whole story together.

Planning your wedding flowers? Come and talk to us we’d love to hear your ideas.
