The joy of a gift bouquet π« We think there's something pretty special about giving and receiving flowers. These are a few gift bouquets that have gone out recently. Each one is packed with all different shapes and sizes of flowers, textured grasses and scented foliage.
π« It's that time again! Roll up, roll up for the fourth round of our monthly kindness initiative, "Superstar Jars" π«
Here's a reminder of what it's all about. Once a month we're going to gift some flowers to someone who would really appreciate them. Please let us know who you think deserves a little kindness by nominating them, either by commenting here, or by emailing [email protected], and we will select our Superstar later in the month.
Let's spread some joy and kindness! ππ

Seasonal and colourful was our brief for this wedding - and what a privilege it was to fulfill! ππ We chose the absolute best of everything in bloom on the farm to create a juicy and colourful floral celebration for L & C.
Each arrangement was unique and bespoke, from the rose that was added to each of the personal flowers, to the gently scented foliage - something to remind them of their day every time they breathe in that scent. Thank you to the gorgeous couple, for trusting us to deliver πΈ

This joyful bunch has been sent in remembrance of my late BFF for her family. It is 21 years ago today that we lost Laura, we never forget. Laura or "Lorris" as she was to me remains a huge part of who I am and therefore a part of TDW.
Sending love to anyone remembering loved ones lost. Swipe for a beautiful poem that always rings through my head on days like today, we try to always remember with a smile.

The first wedding for The Dahlia Wood and it was really special. Every stem was grown here in Wales. Mostly on the TDW farm with a few additions from other local growers. These are true seasonal flowers. They grow now, without any extra heat or light, no chemicals or pesticides. #grownnotflown #llandeilo #flowers #welshflowers #bridalflowers #welshwedding #Carmarthenshire
Itβs been a busy few days getting orders ready and weβve had a few really special bunches to make up. If you are local to #llandeilo and want some seasonal flowers then please DM us. If the weather is kind we should have a few more weeks of these beautiful flowers πΈ #flowerlover #flowertherapy #cutflowers #localbusiness #carmarthenshire #sustainableplanting #sustainability #floristry #sustainablefloristry #plasticfreeflowers #grownnotflown #flowerlover #wales #dahlia #dahlialover #cutflowerpatch #welshflowers #slowflowers #welshgrown #flowersofinstagram #flowersfromthefarm #llandeilo #carmarthenshirebusiness
