La Collina Gardens

28/11/2024

Wow, when I say we’ve been non stop, I’m not kidding!!

Thanks to you lovely lot who have kept us so busy this November! You’re all wonderful as always 🤍

As November draws to a close, we’re feeling VERY festive and I think you guys are too. How could we not? St Leonard’s Frost Fair (and the La Collina staff Xmas do) on Sat 30th and our first wreathmaking workshop of the season on Mon 2nd! 🌲

Orders are coming in for door wreaths, garlands and table centres for the festive period, as well as oodles of foliage and flower* for your gifts and vases too! ‘Christmas is all around me’ - it certainly is Billy Mack!! 🎬

Looking forward to seeing lots more of you over the weekend x

*If you’d like a large quantity of foliage or flower, we always recommend ordering in advance so we can ensure we’ve got enough stock for you - without pre-ordering it can be so difficult to predict and manage stock levels well for you all! ❤️

A moment of plant appreciation as both shops are stacked full of some brilliant houseplants!

After another gorgeous spring/summer of sourcing some real beauts to add to your collections, it won’t be long before we slim down our stock* as winter draws in so don’t pass up an opportunity to stop by before the weather really turns 🥶

*Don’t worry!! We will always have a selection of houseplants no matter what time of year, however as our shops are prone to getting a little chilly through the winter we avoid buying anything that would suffer through those conditions. 🪴

SERIOUS late summer wedding goals right here. 🍊

Dahlias? Check.

Garden roses? Check.

Calendula? Check.

Trailing Amaranthus? Check.

ALL the drama?? Check!!!

This couple truly had the most gorgeous inspiration for us to work with so this really was so much fun to create with them. After being given their mood board and then free rein from there (which is always a dream, I must say) this is a glimpse of what we came up with. 🍊

Whimsical and boho but still glam and luxe too. Perfection! 💗

🥂 Now taking enquiries for 2025 🥂

🌞 As always, we are closed on bank holiday Monday, 26th August so please bare that in mind when ordering and get those pre-orders in for Saturday/Tuesday to avoid disappointment!

Fresh flowers arriving Friday and Tuesday too so there will be LOTS of gorgeousness to enjoy… as always! Don’t be shy, come and say hi 😘

Wow, we are absolutely flat out with florals at the moment! Gift, weddings and funerals all keeping us busy 🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While we’re bustling away behind the scenes, take a look at this one from a few years ago. So elegant, so stylish. Sat absolutely perfectly at the wonderful Battle Abbey. ( )

From raw materials to some seriously impressive finished florals, these photos show a glimpse of what goes into making bespoke wedding flowers.

We couldn’t (and wouldn’t) do what we do without you guys! We appreciate your kind words SO much, whether they’re on Google reviews, through our website, email, DM or with us in the shops they really do make our day.

I know, I know, everyone always says it and it can sound so corny, but I think we all know deep down that sharing love, kindness and appreciation goes a very long way. Our words are powerful things, there’s no limit to what they can do when used for good 💕

Happy Sunday you absolutely gorgeous bunch! (see what I did there 💐🫣😂)

Your support, big or small, purchases, likes, shares, kind comments and word of mouth make every day a joy.

You know you love your job when you don’t get the Sunday scaries, but spend Sunday looking forward to what the week will bring 🌸🌼🌷🌻🌺

Wraps upon wraps of wonderfully whimsical tulips! Try saying that ten times fast!! 😅

Let me know, who wants to know my tulip tips??

A spring favourite of mine (and yours too judging by the rate they’re selling!). A whole world of colours and varieties to be explored when it comes to tulips.. plus the joy of watching them grow - the way they reach for the light even on the darker days feels very symbolic 💕

A gentle reminder to never stop reaching for the light, for the sun will always shine again!!

🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

Shops full of seasonal goodies all week long, our largest deliveries arriving on a Weds and Sat weekly 🫶

🤍 Stocks are really having their moment right now!! 🤍 Sweetly scented, softly structural with a whimsical feel - they’ve always had a special place in my heart so it’s definitely a good day when these arrive with our cut flower delivery! 🤍

Our shops will be full to the brim this week to keep us well stocked for Mother’s day.. I’m already excited to see what arrives! 🫶
