Where did that month go!?

Well... unbelievably we've been in the shop for over a month and time has flown by for us! We're seeing a good level of business with more and more commercial, wedding & funeral enquiries which is excellent! 

We've spent a good amount of time refining our website, adding content and increasing links from other "third party" sites which seems to be having a good effect on our Google page ranking! We've also been spending lots of time visiting local business, hotels and restaurants to spread the word about our business and  to speak to other companies about the services we can provide, but to also provide some reciprocal business!


We've set up a good relationship with some local hotels who hold functions & wedding receptions etc. One hotel in particular that we are very pleased to be working with is the York House Hotel who have appointed us their preferred florist!


If you have a local company and would like beautiful fresh flower arrangements for your public areas or perhaps would you like to provide gift bouquets to some of your best customers, we'd be pleased to provide a competitive quote. 

Some companies ask us to provide a bouquet of flowers to all their female staff members as a gift on their birthday which is a lovely idea and I'm sure helps to increase the bond between the business and their staff! If you would like to arrange this for your hard working staff members, contact us (01323 720901) with your budget and a list of dates and we'll do the rest!

Just over two weeks in and we're going strong!

Well... we've been in our shop for two and a half weeks now and we're pleased to say that things are going really well! 

The word is spreading about our new business and we've had many enquiries to supply flowers for lots of different events as well as plenty of orders for beautiful bouquets for loved ones! 


It was a pleasure to do a full wedding this weekend for a lovely couple including 10 buttonholes, 2 corsages, 9 table centrepieces, bows and ribbons for the church and cars, 3 bridesmaid bouquets plus of course the bridal bouquet! This was pretty much the full package and we were really pleased with the results, as were the bride, groom and their parents....



"Excellent flower table centre arrangements, button holes and bouquets for Richard and Natasha's wedding on Saturday. Thanks to all at Blooms."

It's lovely to get positive feedback for all your hard work!

We've also been honoured to have been asked to supply the flowers for two funerals, one last week and another for today. 


These are always sad occasions and obviously a difficult time for the families, but we hope that they take some comfort from receiving carefully crafted arrangements to honour the one they've lost.

Whether you are planning a wedding, funeral or event... why not give us a call? 01323 720901.
