I just love autumn 🥰

Here’s a little autumn wedding inspiration from Danielle and Sam’s wedding for all those planning their weddings this time of year, this gorgeous couple chose toffee, apricot and burgundy tones which worked so well together, still one of my absolute favourites 🥰🍁

5 ⭐️ Review!! Thank you so much Polina, it was such a pleasure creating your wedding flowers!!

“We worked with Kirsty for our wedding flowers - bridal and bridesmaid bouquets, boutonnieres for the groomsmen and some aisle decorations as well. It was a pleasure working with Kirsty, from the first communication to meeting for the first time on the day. She was able to match the flowers to the bridesmaid dresses perfectly just from an image, and deliver on a vision from a vague pinterest board so incredibly well - really shows the passion and professionalism she has. I loved the flowers so much I sent them off to get preserved so I can keep them forever. The flowers also came in water and convenient boxes for transport, smelled amazing and looked great for nearly a week and a half. Would recommend Kirsty to anyone wanting to get one of the most important elements of the day right :)”

Introducing our newest member of the River and Rose Team…Rafe. Born on 13th May 2024 weighing 7lbs7 🩵🩵

Thank you for all the well wishes, cards and gifts! We are so lucky to be part of this amazing community. Also huge thank you to Hayley and Rachel this week for taking such good care of the shop while I have been busy getting to know this gorgeous mini 🥰🥰😘

02/05/2024

Baby Wilson is due any day now! 🩵 So throughout May and part of June, we will just be open from Monday to Friday so that I can spend time with my family getting to know our newest member. Charlotte and Hayley will be manning the shop and will help with all of your flowery needs and I will be popping in from time to time to say hello! (Please note that I will still be working on weddings so this does not affect any wedding bookings throughout this time) I’m aiming to be back to opening on Saturdays from mid June, probably after the Bed Race as we usually close that day anyway.

I can’t wait to introduce our newest team member to all of our lovely customers and friends soon!!

11/03/2024

This is my lovely friend and fellow knaresborough business owner. Please do support her and all of our lovely local and independent businesses, we are so lucky to have so many amazing shops in Knaresborough and if we don’t use them we’ll lose them so please like, share, review, make ❤️ x

A little reminder that small businesses like mine will only survive and stay around if customers continue to support them…..
If you haven’t shared, liked or commented on a small business post recently….. please consider doing so….. it’s free to do so!

Maybe write a review on social media or elsewhere online….. this is also free!

Sharing pictures of your visit and tagging a business on social media, really helps visibility …. And is free!

Telling and recommending a friend, neighbour, family member, colleague, stranger in a que about my business is so very important….. and guess what… it’s free!

HOWEVER… if you want to come and support by painting some pottery….. I’d LOVE to see you!

Life is hard… kids are expensive and everything seems to cost money and it all adds up..I get it (Boy do I get it!!!!) so there is no judgement here if you look for the cheapest thing when you visit….

Don’t ever think I’m looking at you and thinking you’re an awful parent if you say no to the more expensive pots when your cherubs ask! In fact… I’ll read the room and support you in saying no to your child (telling them they will take too long to paint etc!)

I need money to live… and for my business to survive….But customers coming and feeling supported, welcome, comfortable in a friendly and non-judgemental space is so important to me!

I’m introducing a hashtag
Come by the studio and support my business however you can, but if pennies are too tight…. You can paint …. These start from £6….and include a magnet glued to the back.
Doing this you will
-help to keep my business going
-fill a gap in your day
-encourage creativity
-create functional item
-lots to choose from
-get yourself out of the house and come and speak to a real human (who loves to chat!)
-feel good about yourself and your achievements!!!!

By supporting me after a quiet few months….. you also get a FREE hug, fist bump or high five….. maybe even a little happy dance!!

Now who doesn’t want that!!!!
