The Little Flower

It's all about supplying beautiful flowers to beautiful people for the proprietor of The Little Flower Company. Here's what she has to say about her beloved business. I've always loved flowers, so it seemed natural to go into floristry, particularly since I enjoy people too.

Preparing arrangements and bouquets for all the special occasions in people's lives - from birth through to eternal rest - is not only an artistic challenge, but also immensely rewarding, special and satisfying.After gaining a Level 2 & 3 NVQ in Floristry I cut my teeth in the industry by working at various retail florists.

No wedding is complete without flowers. Even for the most simple of ceremonies the bride will probably want to carry a bouquet, or at the very least wear a pretty corsage. Blooms and blossoms have been part of matrimonial celebrations through all of recorded history, and today they still feature at the top of every wedding planning list, symbols of love and beauty.

Offering floral tributes as an expression of love, sympathy and respect at a funeral is one of mankind's oldest traditions, and although today many bereaved families opt to request charitable donations instead, there is no reason not to express your sorrow by sending sympathy flowers as well.

When someone dies it is often difficult to find the right words to comfort their loved ones, but sending a sympathy bouquet or flower arrangement to the family home is the perfect way to convey your condolences and bring a measure of cheer to the bereaved.Offering a wreath or flower arrangement to the deceased at the funeral or cremation is an act of remembrance, expressing your love and symbolising a parting gift.

First impressions count, and we all find pleasure in entering a business - whether it be a hotel lobby, a dental surgery or even solicitor's office - where someone has taken the trouble to greet us with a vase of tastefully arranged fresh flowers. A floral display is a sign that an enterprise cares about style and quality.

Whilst we do our upmost to ensure that gifts are as seen online, we are restricted sometimes by availability of specific flower stock & price. In these cases we will always replace flowers for a similar look and colour so that your design can look as close to the original bouquet as possible. Designs are always made up to order value, we can assure there is no compromise on this issue.
