And that’s a wrap on Mothering Sunday! 💐✨

We want to say a heartfelt thank you to all of our wonderful customers for trusting us with your floral gifts this year. Whether you were celebrating with your mum, remembering one who is no longer with us, or honouring the special women in your life, we were honoured to help you express your love through flowers. 💕

A huge thank you also goes out to our incredible team. Behind every bouquet is a florist who pours their heart and soul into their craft – often working long hours, missing bedtimes with their own children, or feeling the ache of missing their own mums. Yet, with every stem they arrange, they create beauty and joy for others. 🌿💛

We are so grateful for your support of our small, local business. From our florist family to yours – thank you for letting us be part of your Mother’s Day memories. 💖

🌸 With love,Hayley 🌸

Flowers say so much – ‘Thank you,’ ‘I love you,’ ‘You’re amazing.’

This Mothering Sunday, say it with blooms made with love 💐

“A child born to another woman calls me mom. The depth of the tragedy and the magnitude of the privilege are not lost on me.” – Jody Landers

Motherhood comes in many forms. For some, it’s biological. For others, it’s through adoption, fostering, or the nurturing love of a mother figure. Our own journey through adoption has shown us that motherhood is not defined by biology, but by boundless love, patience, and devotion. It’s a privilege we hold close to our hearts every day.

As we approach Mothering Sunday next weekend, we also hold space for those with difficult relationships with their mums, those who have lost their mothers, and those who had to parent themselves. 💕 This day can be tender in many ways, and we see you.

If you’re marking the day with someone special, or simply honouring it in your own way, we’d be honoured to help you share your love with flowers crafted by hand, with heart. 🌿🌷

🌸 Saying More, Because It Matters 🌸

As a florist, my days are filled with colour, creativity and love — but when I’m not designing bouquets, you’ll often find me passionately discussing politics. Politics that affect floristry, yes — but more importantly, politics that affect my family.

I am disappointed. Disappointed that disabled people and their families are being let down by a system meant to protect the most vulnerable.

I am disappointed. Disappointed that services for young people who need extra support are being cut or made inaccessible.

I am disappointed. Disappointed that those in society who most need our protection are being made to feel like a burden.

I am exhausted. Exhausted by a system that devalues my time, my experience and my aspirations for my family — and assumes that makes me “difficult.”

But you know what? Well-behaved women seldom make history. So here I am — speaking up, speaking out, and saying more.

What matters to you? I’d love to hear your voice. Let’s start a conversation. 💜

🌸 Kind Words from Our Wonderful Customers 🌸

We’re feeling so grateful for our lovely customers and their thoughtful messages — it truly means the world to our little family-run florist here in Buckingham!

💐 “A short message of thanks to Jess and the team for the excellent arrangement sent to my mum for her birthday on Tuesday — she absolutely loved it.”

🌷 “Thank you so much for your excellent service, and beautiful flowers.”

Creating beautiful, thoughtful florals for life’s special moments is what we love most. Whether it’s birthdays, anniversaries, or just because — we’re here to make every bouquet bloom with love and care.

Thank you for supporting local — and for choosing us to share your love through flowers!

Happy International Women’s Day! 💜🌸

Today, we want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible women who make our little florist bloom — our talented team, our wonderful customers, and every supporter who’s been part of our journey. Thank you for your creativity, kindness, and belief in what we do.

Floristry is an industry full of passion, artistry, and dedication — and one where so many talented women lead the way. We’re proud to be part of a community that brings beauty and joy through flowers, one bouquet at a time.

Here’s to the women who inspire, create, nurture, and support — today and every day.

💐💪💖

Today, on International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating the incredible strength of women — in all its forms.Strength isn’t always loud; sometimes it’s quiet resolve. It’s the softness of a listening ear, the fierce protection of loved ones, the calm in the storm, and the courage to speak up when it matters most.Women build communities and hold families together — creating spaces filled with love, care, and support. From the friends who lift us up, to the mothers, sisters, daughters, and partners who shape our lives — their strength is the thread that weaves us all closer.Today, we honour the women who lead with kindness, those who stand firm with resilience, and those who nurture with endless compassion. You inspire us every day.💜 Here’s to the women who bloom in every season. 💜
