We've had a little flurry of wedding bookings for 2025 recently, so here's a quick reminder that we only take one booking per day and for larger orders we'll now only be taking one per week. If you're getting married in the next 18 months and would like Flowersmiths to create your wedding flowers, drop us a message to arrange a consultation 💜

Throwback to this pink beauty we made for one of our lovely brides a few years back. Just look at those dahlias 😍 💜

Summer holidays are always tricky for small businesses and this year is no exception...we've had pretty slow week this week, so just a small reminder to use your local shops whenever possible. A big thank you to everyone who has visited us recently, as always it means a lot 💜

Flowersmiths is open weekly Tuesday - Saturday and we stock fresh flowers every day, plus a wide range of houseplants, gifts, cards and we also have the fantastic for all your eco - refills. Browsing is more than welcome, please do pop by to have a look round 💜

A huge thank you to everyone who entered our raffle to raise money for the 'Southport strong together appeal' and 'Show racism the red card'. We're so happy to tell you we've raised £238 in total, so that's £119 being donated to each of the very worthy causes. And our winner is...Kathy Duffy (we've dropped you an email Kathy!). We've had some really heartwarming chats this week with everyone who has bought raffle tickets and it's been very uplifting, so a big thank you to you all 💜

After seeing the awful news in the past week, we felt we wanted to do something to help and so we're launching a fundraiser and raffling off a £40 Flowersmiths bouquet.

The money raised will be split equally between between two causes - one half will go towards the Southport Strong Together Appeal which will be aiding the victims of the horrific attack in Southport. The second half will go to the charity Show Racism the Red Card to make a stand against the awful violence shown across the UK in the last week.

The tickets to enter will be £2 each and you can enter as many times as you like eg. a £10 donation= 5 entries.

Tickets can be purchased
a) in the shop (cash only please)
b) online by sending us the money by bank transfer and we'll add the money to the charity fund (drop us a message for the details).

The prize winner will be drawn at random at the end of Saturday 10th and the flowers will be available to collect from the shop anytime during the following week. Local delivery can be arranged for an extra £5 donation to the fundraiser.

Good luck, and thank you for your donations 💜💜💜

This is one of the hardest posts I've ever had to write...but I wanted you all to know that last week we had to say goodbye to our beautiful Harry. After picking him up at 11 months old from Bleakholt Animal Shelter, he's been by our side (or snoozing nearby) for the past 8 years. The most gentle giant, he charmed everyone he met into loving him, including those who met him in the shop. We will miss him more than we can say but he leaves us with some brilliant memories. We hope he is somewhere now chasing sticks, stealing cheese and getting all the tummy tickles he wants 💜

I know some of you loved him too and will miss seeing him at the shop. Please just give me a bit of time to get my head round it all though otherwise I'll be blubbing my way through every conversation for the next few weeks 💜

08/07/2024

A reminder that we will be closed on Tuesday 9th, back open on Wednesday 10th. Apologies for any inconvenience 💜

We love a non-traditional wedding here at Flowersmiths, and our most recent wedding was just that. Congratulations to Kathy and John who were married at the weekend, Kathy chose a beautiful selection of blooms for her bouquet and hair including sweet peas and nigella. We absolutely love this photo and the flowers perfectly match that fabulous leather jacket 💜💜

*Exciting news*

💜 This year we're hosting a summer open evening at Flowersmiths!

💜 On Thursday 13th June, between 4-8pm, we're inviting all our lovely customers to come along to the shop to enjoy a summery evening (hopefully with more sunshine than today!) with drinks, nibbles and special offers around the shop. The shop will be filled with lots of lovely new stock, plants and flowers.

💜 There's no need to book a spot but if you can let us know if you plan to attend that would be very helpful to know how many people will be coming along. Just drop us a message or mention if you come by the shop earlier than the 13th.

Hope to see you all then 💜

It's been a few weeks since we've posted on social media, but here's a reminder that we're still here! Engagement is way down (for all small businesses it seems?!) across Instagram and Facebook so you may be missing our posts, but you can always look back through our grid to catch up (and give us a like/save/comment!).
But here's a hello for now, and a reminder that the shop is open Tuesday - Saturday weekly, and also don't forget that it's peony season!

We're flowering a wedding this weekend with the most beautiful colour scheme, can't wait to share the pictures! But until then, here's one from a fabulous photoshoot we did a few years ago. We loved creating this floral backdrop, would love to create another of these for a wedding 💜

We love to see the professional photographs of our wedding flowers, and it was a real joy to see this gorgeous picture of the bouquet we created for Caroline earlier this year. Loving the pops of cerise in this bouquet, we really enjoyed this combination of colours 💜

When we had our window art done recently by the lovely , she created a beautiful frame for us on the side window to show off our flowers. So when you're leaving the shop, don't forget to hold up your blooms/plants/gifts and tag us on social media 💜

Also, these tulips have stolen the show this week 💜

This post is a big thank you to everyone who has visited the shop this weekend. On Thursday we had a horribly quiet day on the back of a few quiet weeks, and we put a small request out on Facebook to ask that anyone who was out and about over the weekend to please come and pay us a visit. We've had quite an overwhelming two days with lots of familiar and new faces coming into the shop to support us. It means so much when the local community rallies around to help, so a big big thank you from the Flowersmiths team to you all 💜
