Love is in the air in Hertfordshire...

We did it! Can you believe it’s now a week on from Valentine’s Day and it's conclusive that there's a lot of romance in Hertfordshire! Between both shops, we managed 500 deliveries! Woweee! A big THANK YOU to our customers for coming to The Flower Shop for their special Valentine’s gift! I hope everyone’s enjoying their flowers, plants and hearts!

With such a busy spell coming to an end, the big clean up begins and there’s a lot on the agenda! Window dressing, replenishing flowers, plants and containers, new themes, looking over wedding proposals and not to mention Mother’s Day looming in the back of our minds!  

~~~~~

But for now, I would like to catch up on last week, just before the Valentine’s madness, we had a few functions which I would love to share with you! So let’s begin with Monday…no Monday morning blues for us at The Flower Shop as we started the week brilliantly with bridal flowers! The bride requested lemon Roses and Gypsophilia to make up her bridal posie and bridesmaid’s bouquets, so that’s what we did, complete with hessian handles! Super sweet! :)


Take a peek at this lovely photo compilation shared with us by the very happy couple. Many thanks and all our best wishes to you both for a happy and healthy future together! 


Next up, we created these beautiful table centres suitable for a young girls tea party in the Donneraile Room at The Grove Hotel. A wonderful combination of Peonies, Viburnum, Roses, Eustoma and Freesia make for a pretty and girly arrangement. 



Wouldn’t you agree there is a distinct feeling that Spring has sprung (well, for today it has!)?!... Spring flowers not only make lovely gifts but can make stunning table arrangements. Colourful, scented and lots of fun, 3 Spring arrangements work brilliantly along this birthday table at St James’ Restaurant, Bushey.  


Until next time,

Holly J

Spring is springing...

For me, Spring is one of my favourite seasons; it’s a wonderful time of year full of excitement, rejuvenation and good times ahead. Despite it being wet, windy and cold outside, Spring has certainly sprung in The Flower Shop so step in store and you’ll be hit with colour, scent and flowers galore! Flowers you may or may not be familiar with currently in stock are the likes of Hyacinths, Daffodils, Tulips, Lilac, Viburnum, Anemones and Mimosa. The list is almost endless...what’s your favourite?!...we may have it!

Pay us a visit for a beautiful Spring posie or grab a bunch to brighten up your home! :) For you green fingered folk you’ll know it’s the season for Spring bulbs too so why not send a mixed Spring planted arrangement in glass or another container of your choice, may it be a basket, a wooden tray or even one of our own bespoke bark and moss pots! Planted in a way to compliment the container chosen, enjoy them indoors and then pop them in garden afterwards - they really do make wonderful gifts!
