Just a little hint of a beautiful bouquet for a client today. Being an event florist I don’t often take orders for individual bouquets but this one was special and also coincided with other orders. Gorgeous Nerines, ornithogalum, ranunculus to name a few.

This year, we're embracing a colourful departure from the traditional Black Friday rush. While the buzz of discounts captivates many, as a local business firmly embedded in our community, we've opted for a different hue.⁠
⁠
Why? Because our focus isn't just about a single day of discounts. It's about the ongoing commitment we hold dear—to provide you with more than just florals, but an experience filled with personalized care, expertise, and top-tier blooms crafted exclusively for you.⁠
⁠
Our dedication to delivering the very best service, skills, and quality florals remains unwavering. We're here to ensure your moments are adorned with the utmost care and the beauty and vibrant colours of nature's finest, every day, without the need for a special sales event.⁠
⁠
By choosing to opt out of Black Friday, we reaffirm our dedication to serve you beyond deals and discounts. Thank you for supporting local businesses like ours. Your belief in our service and appreciation for our craft drives us to continue delivering excellence, far beyond a single shopping day.⁠
⁠
💬Please do drop me a message or give me a call if you're in need of a local florist for Funeral flowers, Wedding flowersa or if you want to pre order some gorgeous Christmas flowers for your home.⁠

To be asked to do someone’s funeral flowers is an absolute honour and, contrary to my original thoughts, they are one of the most heart warming things we, as florists, can do for a bereaved person.
For this friend’s mum I was asked to provide the casket spray based around the focal rosemary Esperance and the two posies to be in zingy colours.
When she saw her mother’s flowers Jacqui was “overwhelmed in a good way” and that’s all I could have asked for.

What makes Christmas so magical? For me, it's the intangible embrace of tradition— Walks in the crisp frosty Somerset county I call home, twinkling lights, the warmth of carols that resonate deeply, and the cherished moments like Carols from Kings lighting up the TV screen.⁠
⁠
In the UK, the wreath symbolizes the welcoming spirit of the season—a natural adornment for our doors, often crafted with evergreens like spruce, pine, and holly, echoing traditions passed down through generations.⁠
⁠
Beyond our shores, wreaths hold diverse meanings in various cultures. In Germany, the Advent wreath is a cherished tradition, with each candle lit on Sundays leading up to Christmas, while in Sweden, the St. Lucia wreath symbolizes hope with its candles illuminating the darkest days.⁠
⁠
As we travel the globe, wreaths take on unique forms, representing unity, hope, and joy. In Mexico, vibrant poinsettias often adorn wreaths, intertwined with religious celebrations during Las Posadas. In Greece, wreaths of dried fruits and spices are customary, honouring the festive spirit of the season.⁠
⁠
This wreath—a blend of tradition and nature—is a tribute not just to our UK customs but a nod to the rich tapestry of cultural diversity worldwide. It embodies the essence of unity, joy, and the universal appreciation for the beauty that traditions bring to our homes during this magical season. ⁠
⁠
🎄If you're wanting a traditional Christmas wreath for your door this festive season, then our 'Holly and Jolly' wreath is 100% the one for you. DM or call me to order your bespoke wreath ready for delivery from the 7th December onwards.⁠

Hi, I'm Kerry, the heart and soul behind Lupins and Lavender. 🌸 As the owner, founder, and floral designer, I've always had a deep-rooted passion for all things floral and a love for the art of gardening. It was only natural for me to channel this passion into becoming a florist.

I've honed my skills and expertise at the prestigious British Academy of Floral Art in Dunchideock, Devon, where I trained under the guidance of Master Florists and even Chelsea Gold Medal-winning tutors. It's been an exquisite journey, far beyond my expectations.

I take immense pride in my designs, and I believe that every client deserves the utmost attention to detail, just as I would expect if I were in their shoes. Whether you're dreaming of vibrant and exuberant colours, soft pastel hues, traditional classics, or even boho and steam punk-inspired florals – I'm here to bring your dream style to life.

At Lupins and Lavender, we understand the importance of personal touch and empathy. So, whether you're in Nailsea, Bristol, Gloucestershire, or another area of North Somerset, I'm here to make your floral journey truly memorable. Let's create something extraordinary together.

My beautiful mum died last weekend which is why I haven’t been posting recently and won’t be for a while yet. We are all devastated but mum is no longer in pain - that’s the only positive I can take from the situation 💔
